Baby, you understand me now
2
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
3
No one can always be an angel
4
When everything goes wrong you see some bad
5
Well I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
6
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
7
[Common]
8
Yeah, uh (Misunderstood)
9
We do this, for the people that walk that path
10
Tryna get to their dream, yeah, uh (oh)
11
He stood on the corner with the rest of them
12
Though he knew that this corner wasn't the best of him
13
Hard streets and a life that crested him
14
Dirt police domestic beefs that's festerin
15
He knew the President wadn't addressin him
16
Though dead presidents was undressin him
17
Two kids from hot sex no protection and
18
People don't see how AIDS is affectin 'em
19
It get hard to get the get the God question in
20
Can't find a job so you robbin and hustlin
21
He killed marks and sold dope for cousin 'em
22
Can't believe they would be the ones bucking him
23
He on the ground he could feel God touching him
24
He heard the sound of his moms sayin trust in him
25
At heaven's gate, saying please Lord let me in
26
Or send me back to tell my people to be better men
27
[Chorus]
28
Misunderstood
29
'Cause we are - Misunderstood
30
Misunderstood, Don't let me be misunderstood

I'm just human, oh
32
[Common]
33
Uh, yeah
34
She dancin she dance she dance for them
35
Her body move but her mind was manic'
36
Thinkin I don't know where they hands have been
37
Relationships with men have been so damagin
38
She thought back to when she was at Howard and
39
Dreams of doing scenes with Terrence Howard and
40
Broadway plays and dancin with Alv and them
41
The ones that make it always ain't the talented
42
Some dreams get lost never to be found again
43
At first strippin seemed so empowerin
44
Most every girl wanna do it now and then
45
But bein meat every day is devourin
46
Cats puttin paper where she put powder and
47
Life would break her, now she powderin
48
She was high when she fell down and then
49
Crowd surrounding and, heart was poundin and
50
She fell into a deep sleep the siren sounded and
51
Seen bright lights in the midst of clouds and then
52
Talked to God, feeling like his child again
53
Said Lord let me live so I can make you proud again
54
[Chorus]
55
The life we lead, will always lead us
56
And we pray that he, will never leave us
57
It's the price we pay, I guess that's the reason
58
Why my grandma sang, we all need Jesus [2x]
59
Misunderstood, don't let me be, misunderstood
60
Misunderstood, don't let me be, misunderstood
61
I'm just human
