It’s kinda funny   Everbody think they know   I got an idea   We all got ideas   Who knows what’s right   That’s why I ask myself      Why is it that you look at me that way?   If I just got here how come I overstayed   Did I say something to you   that wasn’t true   Are the words too new         My life has been a lengthly bout   Moms work hard since Pop bounced   and left home an empty house   Now every days a jam and    I’m blazing grams trying thinking bout   How the hell my Moms gonna raise a man   But she was hip to the street script    And it didn’t take long for Shakes mom to    Pick up the pieces   And she just did what she had to do   You kept what matters true Ma    So I ain’t mad at you      Why is it that things, they never change   You know that things don’t ever change   All of it is just nonsense   And it all stays the same   With all of the ups and downs    Of the living game   High and low that’s how I go    But it’s cool as long as I go home with my dough      Could it be that I ‘m just Misunderstood ( 3X)   Don’t blast cause I’m not from your hood   Cause I’m not from your hood   And it aint all good         Why’s it that you assume I’m that way   Unknown unloved un-shown the light of day   Then all the world will know it’s me and you   Look around I’m just like you       But Now you know what   Mama’s lil boy is growing up   I been in the streets running   And Now I know whats up   I got my own now by playing this game   Cause if I aint make a change    Then it would just stay the same   And this is good   Cause change is moving in    And Chris just stood on his own two   In ever single different hood   So if you don’t know then listen good   When you rewind this mutha- fucker   I feel misunderstood!      Could it be that I ‘m just Misunderstood ( 3X)   Don’t blast cause I’m not from your hood   Cause I’m not from your hood   And it aint all good      Misunderstood   That’s how I feel sometime    But I still gotta run with mine   And know it’s real   I am the misunderstood   Gotta keep your head up   Keep movin.
