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
