| 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 assume 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- fucker |
| 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. |
