[Intro]

Don't stop

I can feel your pain

I can see your tears

So misunderstood

You're Miss Understood

[Verse 1]

I don't wanna be up, I been down for days

Layin' in my misery, hopin' I will be saved

Stuck in my ways, stubborn, I know it can't be changed

Livin' 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) Lookin' back, was it all a waste of

Handshakes and how-are-yous and what-you've-been-up-tos

And will-you-be-home-soons 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 causin' resentment

Hard to accept the realness, she said

(Don't stop) I've been lovin' you freely

Back when you was broke, handin' 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?

[Refrain]

Don't stop

I can feel your pain

I can see your tears

So misunderstood

You're Miss Understood

[Verse 2]

(Do-do-don't stop) Little misleadin'

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 checkin' 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 tryin' hard to get the juice and I'm lemonade

I write words for a livin' 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 testin' me

You want my everything until there's nothing left of me

I just wanted you to call me, sayin', "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

[Outro]

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
