Its kinda funny
Everbody think they know
I got an idea
We all got ideas
Who knows whats right
Thats 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 wasnt 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
Im blazing grams trying thinking bout
How the hell my Moms gonna raise a man
But she was hip to the street script
And it didnt 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 aint mad at you
Why is it that things, they never change
You know that things dont 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 thats how I go
But its cool as long as I go home with my dough
Could it be that I m just Misunderstood ( 3X)
Dont blast cause Im not from your hood
Cause Im not from your hood
And it aint all good
Whys it that you a**ume Im that way
Unknown unloved un-shown the light of day
Then all the world will know its me and you
Look around Im just like you
But Now you know what
Mamas 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 dont know then listen good
When you rewind this mutha- f**er
I feel misunderstood!
Could it be that I m just Misunderstood ( 3X)
Dont blast cause Im not from your hood
Cause Im not from your hood
And it aint all good
Misunderstood
Thats how I feel sometime
But I still gotta run with mine
And know its real
I am the misunderstood
Gotta keep your head up
Keep movin.
