[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** [Refrain] [Verse 3] [Refrain]
