[Intro] Baby you misunderstand me now Sometimes you see that I'm mad No one can always be an angel When everything goes wrong You see some bad but I'm just a soul Whose intentions are good Ol' lord please don't let me be misunderstood

[Verse One] He stood on the corner with the rest of them Though we knew that this corner was not the best of him Harsh streets and a life that caressed him Dirt police domestic beef that festering He knew the president was not addressing him Though dead presidents was addressing him Two kids from hot sex no protection People don't see how age is affecting them It gets hard so you get to God questioning Can't find a job so you robbin and hustlin You killed ma and sold dope for cuz and them Can't believe they would be the ones buckin him He on the ground he can feel god touchin him He heard the sound of his mom sayin trust in him At heaven gate sayin Lord please let me in or Send me back to tell my people to be better me Cuz we are...

[Verse Two] She danced and she danced for them Her body moved but her mind was manicin Thinking I don't know where they hands had teen Relationship they had been so damaging She thought back when she was at Howard And dreams of doing scenes with Terence Howard and Broadway Plays and dancing with Alfie 'n them. The ones that make it ain't always the talented So dreams get lost never to be found again At first strippers seemed so empowering Every girl want to do it now and then But being me everyday is devouring Cats with paper is what she put power in Life would break her now she's powder in She was high when she fell down and crowds surrounding Heart was pounding in she fell into a deep sleep The sirens sounding seen bright lights in the mist of clouds in Talked to God feeling like his child again Said Lord let me live So I can make you proud again Cuz we are
