Misunderstood Songtext / Lyric

Intro(Sample): Baby, you understand me now (applause)

Sometimes you see that I'm mad

No one can always be an angel

When everything goes wrong you see something bad

I'm just a soul who's intention's are good

O' lord, please don't let me be misunderstood



(Common): Yea... uh...

We do this... for the people that walk that path

Try'na get to they dream... yea... uh...






Verse 1: He stood on the corner with the rest of them

Though he knew that this corner wasn't the best of them

Hard streets and the life that carrested him

Dirt police domestic beefs thats festerin'

He Knew that the president wasn't addressin' him

Though dead presidents was addressin' him

Two kids from hot sex no protection and

People don't see how aids is affectin' him

He get hard you get to get to god questionin'

Can't find a job so ya robbin' and hustlin'

He killed Marx and sold dope for cousin em'

Can't believe that they would be the ones buckin' him

He on the ground he could feel god touchin' him

He heard the sound of his mom sayin trust in him

And heaven's gates sayin' lord please let me in

or send me back to tell my people to be better man



Chorus: Misunderstood (Cuz' we are)

Don't let me be misunderstood, don't

Misunderstood, don't

Don't let me be misunderstood, don't (uh... yea)

I'm just human, o



Verse 2: She dance and she dance she dance for them

Her body move but her mind was manickin'



Thinkin' I don't know where they hands had been

Relationships with men have been so damagin'

She thought back to when she was in howard and

Dreams of doing scenes with Terence Howard and

Broadway plays and dancin' with Alv and them

The ones that make it always ain't the talented

Some dreams get lost never to be found again

At first strippin' seemed so empowerin'

Most every girl wanna do it now and then

But bein' meat everyday is devourin'

Cats put paper where she put powder in

Life would break up now she powderin'

She was high when she fell down and then

Crowd surroundin' and heart was poundin' and

She fell into a deep sleep, the siren sounded and

Seein bright lights in the mist of clouds and then

Talk to god feelin like his child again

said lord let me live so I can make you proud again



Chorus: Misunderstood (Cuz we are)

Don't let me be misunderstood, don't

Misunderstood, don't

Don't let me be misunderstood, don't

I'm just human



Break: The life we lead, will always lead us

and we pray that he will never leave us

It's the price we pay, I guess that's the reason

Why my grandma say, we all need Jesus (X2)



Chorus: Misunderstood, don't

Don't let me be misunderstood, don't

Misunderstood, don't

Don't let me be misunderstood, don't

I'm just human
