(Sample)   Baby, you understand me now (applause)   Sometimes you see that I'm mad   No one can always be an angel   When everything goes wrong you see something bad   I'm just a soul who's intention's are good   O' lord, please don't let me be misunderstood      (Common)   Yea...uh...   We do this...for the people that walk that path   Try'na get to they dream... yea... uh...         He stood on the corner with the rest of them   Though he knew that this corner wasn't the best of them   Hard streets and the life that carrested him   Dirt police domestic beefs thats festerin'   He Knew that the president wasn't addressin' him   Though dead presidents was addressin' him   Two kids from hot sex no protection and   People don't see how aids is affectin' him   He get hard you get to get to god questionin'   Can't find a job so ya robbin' and hustlin'   He killed Marx and sold dope for cousin em'   Can't believe that they would be the ones buckin' him   He on the ground he could feel god touchin' him   He heard the sound of his mom sayin trust in him   And heaven's gates sayin' lord please let me in   or send me back to tell my people to be better man         Misunderstood (Cuz' we are)   Don't let me be misunderstood, don't   Misunderstood, don't   Don't let me be misunderstood, don't (uh...yea)   I'm just human, o         She dance and she dance she dance for them   Her body move but her mind was manickin'   Thinkin' I don't know where they hands had been   Relationships with men have been so damagin'   She thought back to when she was in howard and   Dreams of doing scenes with Terence Howard and   Broadway plays and dancin' with Alv and them   The ones that make it always ain't the talented   Some dreams get lost never to be found again   At first strippin' seemed so empowerin'   Most every girl wanna do it now and then   But bein' me everyday is devourin'   Cast written paper where she put powder in   Life would break up now she powderin'   She was high when she fell down and then   Crowd surroundin' and heart was poundin' and   She fell into a deep sleep, the siren sounded and   Seein bright lights in the mist of clouds and then   Talk to god feelin like his child again   said lord let me live so I can make you wild again         Misunderstood (Cuz we are)   Don't let me be misunderstood, don't   Misunderstood, don't   Don't let me be misunderstood, don't   I'm just human         The life we lead, will always lead us   and we pray that he will never leave us   It's the price we pay, I guess that's the reason    Why my grandma say, we all need Jesus (X2)      Chorus: Misunderstood, don't   Don't let me be misunderstood, don't   Misunderstood, don't   Don't let me be misunderstood, don't   I'm just human
