Miss Understood

Don't stop I can feel your pain I can see your tears So misunderstood You're Miss Understood I don't wanna be up, I been down for days Laying in my misery, hoping I will be saved Stuck in my ways, stubborn, I know it can't be changed Living in isolation, attention I never crave There go little Simbi from around the way She wanted the credibility, never cared for fame While the palette fades, release the colours of pain It's a black-and-white world, still in the area grey (Don't stop) looking back, was it all a waste of Handshakes and how-are-you's and what-you've-been-up-to's And will-you-be-home-soon's and when are you droppin' again? Sussin' me out, secretly hopin' I'm done with the pen No receipts, can't return the gift I was sent Everything I touch is felt with the purest intent Conversations with you is causing resentment Hard to accept the realness, she said (Don't stop) I've been loving you freely Back when you was broke, handing out them CDs Tried to fall in love and you cut 'cause you need me I told you, "Give it up" and you never believed me Your obsession with me is with me has been your Achilles' heel Feelings equals weakness, and that's why you bury yours Understand you are just a vessel for the Lord Lion heart, don't you feel the blessings in your paws? Don't stop I can feel your pain I can see your tears So misunderstood You're Miss Understood (Do-do-don't stop) Little misleading Misguided, misunderstood, misjudged (Pain) little mistaken Heartbroken, that's basic, mistrust (pain) For many days and for many nights I just couldn't fathom all the fake stuff Eyes wide open to fake love 'Cause no one's checking for you when you got it bad And you're in the worst lowest place, still could never crash Strong women bounce back and secure bags Know it's in my DNA to only be great Niggas trying hard to get the juice and I'm lemonade I write words for a living and still can't communicate Honesty is in my bones, I can't do the fake Life's too short and I've seen too many tears I've come too far for me to be consumed by my fears Can't believe the space I'm in with my older sister I left the global empire and now she thinks I dissed her It weren't that, I just needed to explore shit on my own I just needed to figure out—, mmm I probably let my anger get the best of me When it comes to family, see now, you testing me You want my everything until there's nothing left of me I just wanted you to call me, saying, "Hey, sis, how's your day been? How's your love life, who you datin'? Oh, he fucked up? Girl, I had the same thing But there's a bigger picture God is painting" It's hard mixing family and business I really wanted it to work and God is my witness So misunderstood You're Miss Understood Don't stop I can feel your pain I can see your tears So misunderstood You're Miss Understood
