[Intro: Nina Simone]
Baby, you understand me now,
If sometimes you see that I'm mad,
No one can always be an angel.
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad,
Well, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good.
Oh Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood!
Misunderstood...
[Common:]
Yeah, uh,
We do this, for the people that walk that path,
Tryna get to their dream, yeah, uh!
[Verse 1: Common]
He stood on the corner with the rest of them,
Though he knew that this corner wasn't the best of him,
Hard streets and a life that crested him,
Dirt police domestic beefs that's festerin'.
He knew the President wadn't addressin' him,
Though dead presidents was undressin' him,
Two kids from hot sex, no protection, and
People don't see how AIDS is affectin' 'em.
It get hard to get the, get the God questionin',
Can't find a job so you robbin' and hustlin',
He killed marks and sold dope for cousin 'em,
Can't believe they would be the ones buckin' him.
He on the ground, he could feel God touchin' him,
He heard the sound of his moms sayin', “Trust in Him.”
At heaven's gate, sayin', “Lord, please, let me in,
Or send me back to tell my people to be better men!”
'Cause we are
[Chorus: Nina Simone]
Misunderstood...
Misunderstood....
Misunderstood, don't let me be misunderstood!
I'm just human, oh!
[Verse 2: Common]
Uh, yeah!
She dancin', she dance, she dance for them,
Her body move but her mind was mannequin,
Thinkin', “I don't know where they hands have been”,
Relationships with men have been so damaging.
She thought back to when she was at Howard, and
Dreams of doin' scenes with Terrence 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 stripping seemed so empowering,
Most every girl wanna do it now and then,
But bein' meat every day is devouring.
Cats puttin' paper where she put powder, and
Life would break her, 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
Seen bright lights in the midst of clouds, and then
Talked to God, feelin' like His child again,
Said, “Lord, let me live so I can make you proud again!”
'Cause we are
[Chorus: Nina Simone]
Misunderstood...
Misunderstood....
Misunderstood, don't let me be misunderstood!
I'm just human, oh!
[Bridge: Bilal]
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 sang, we all need Jesus.
[Chorus: Nina Simone]
Misunderstood...
Misunderstood....
Misunderstood, don't let me be misunderstood!
I'm just human, oh!
Перевод песни:
Поняли превратно
[Вступление: Nina Simone] 1
Детка, ты понимаешь меня.
Если иногда ты видишь, что я злюсь,
Никакой человек не может быть ангелом.
Когда всё идёт не так, ты видишь что-то плохое,
Но я просто душа с благими намерениями.
О, Боже, пожалуйста, не позволь, чтобы меня поняли превратно!
Поняли превратно........
