[Refrain]
Baby, you understand me now (Yeah)
If sometimes you see that I'm mad (Real sh**)
Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel? (Yeah)
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad (Right, right)
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
[Verse 1]
Uh, what's understood ain't gotta be explained
These n***as selling out and I would rather be a lame
Had to bend the rules just to defeat the game
Like Mike Jones, I wanna make them repeat the name
I took the pain. I overcame
Deep in this ocean, I need some novacane
Just hope I swim good. Tryna get in good
Oh, they heard I'm skating now. n***a, I been hood
Naw, I been me so you can't offend me
Tryna see the green but instead, I'm seeing envy
The city's full of haters, wannabes, and traitors
Guess I'm a one man rock band, Heath Slater. yeah!
I'm still tryna make it, with or without the help
But things seem so different. Beginning to doubt myself
But I deal with the cars that I was handed
And before I fold, I try to understand it but...
[Refrain]
[Verse 2]
Uh, misunderstood since Monday
But if you understand, hi, I'm Devante
I told my dawgs we was gon' be rich one day
So I'ma see that YI$ looks like Pompeii
Yeah, all I had was my mommy
Found a tribe that was like my brothers, Harambee
But ain't it funny how people change like Easter Sunday
That's what Weezy said and now, that's ringing in Deezy's head
But Jeezy said, "Scared money don't make no money."
And he was scared. I ain't have time to be waiting on Sonny
I was tryna reach the sky, he was tryna get high
He was sleeping on the team and I can sleep when I die
But really, he was my guy and I'm deceased if I lie
But since he ain't join in on the grind, he won't get a piece of the pie
And if you feel the need to diss, come on with it
But you the one that's acting fake and I don't get it. sh**
