Misunderstood
But I will to eat
I may not come when you call
Should I let 'em in
And it was you that let me do
So if I'm yo' man, I'm in yo' hand
Learned to stand before I crawled
Time after time
You'll get it all in due time, you'll do fine
An' she told me that God had it
(Uh huh)
Ayo a few of them times
Somebody's knockin'
And write a new rhyme
And I've been there
Only saw one
It was you who opened my eyes
It's goin' be a sight to behold
No!
Prepared me for the worst
But all you did was embrace me
The guns'll blow
I was right beside you there
Good's not too good for me
After all this time
And if you showed me anything at all
And slidin' in the dirt
'Cuz I'm safe
(Uh huh)
I was there
And it was you who shined yo'
Then I missed it
Into my lungs when I was born
And the curse turned to grace
And will it be layin' in my own blood
Why you chose the hood for me
Things were twisted
When the hurt turned to faith
Plus with all the hatin'
Offered me eternal light
Somebody's knockin'
(Uh huh)
I carried you my son
It was you that breathed life
Lord, we're just startin'
See that light down the road
I thought you would erase me
And it was you that let me know
Two sets of footsteps
But what about them times I
Should I let 'em in
It's goin' guide you there
Just have faith 'cuz you mine
But where will it end
And scared me with the hearse
Never had a friend
Somebody's knockin'
(Uh huh)
It's hard to keep peace
Even at those times you least suspected it
Lookin' for that one that owe
But that's what wrong brings
Mean I'm aiight
Wus yo' plan
(Uh huh)
It was then
(True)
When it gets turned around
So don't fight to be old
Lord, we're just startin'
From goin' out of my mind
Went to gran'ma for answers
But I'm always on time
Led you to safety
And it's been you speakin' to me
Make 'em run that dough
And who it's goin' choose
My child, I've watched you grow up
Those were the times when I was
And now you mean to tell me that
Inside my mind
And it was you that gave me a good wife
And look at what I've given you
I just had to work hard at it
Under the gun
Looked the wrong way
What was right from what was wrong
But when the funds are low
I've done some wrong things
But where will it end
And it's been you who has forgiven
So now here I am
It was you that kept the dog
Thou shall not steal
And on the ground
Lord, we're just startin'
Should I let 'em in
But where will it end
I tried doin' good, but
Or lose sight when it's cold
Put down the guns
So I could see
Nothin' but all the blood here
Somebody's knockin'
Should I let 'em in
A talent to rhyme
And a beautiful son
(Uh huh)
'Cuz you couldn't trust your man
No more runnin'
And when you shine
It just wasn't your time to face me
What I knew what could be done
I'm dealin' with Satan
Am I born to lose
Kept a bad attitude
Confused and full of questions
Or is this just a lesson
