Do you see me now? You will know my name Do you hear me now? Do you fear me now? Behind my back at my expense There's something inside me And I know it's good, I'm not evil Just misunderstood Their judging eyes watching me

Jive talkin' It's just your jive talkin' You're telling me lies, yeah You wear a disguise So misunderstood, yeah Oh, my child Good lovin' Still gets in my eyes Nobody believes what you say

I did the best I could Flying high in the friendly sky So stupid minded Nobody understood Without leaving the ground Rest of the folks are tired and weary And have laid their bodies down I go to the place where danger waits And its bound to forsake me

But I already have love in LA It's so romantic in Paris Thought I was sure that I'd find it Won't even try to compare it If I ask that boy to jump, I know he would He don't even have to say, it's understood He treat me nice, he treat me right, he treat

Even if we don't understand You missed the point and then you point Your fingers at me But it's all relative Even if you don't understand Well it's all understood Especially when you don't understand Then it's all just because Then let's all just believe

Everybody says she's lookin' good And the lady knows it's understood I know a thing or two about her I know she'll only make you cry She'll let you walk the street beside her But when she wants she'll pass you by She wears her satins like a lady She gets

Life's not always fair Oh, life it's misunderstood me And dream of better days Life's not always fair or so they say So I close my eyes Or so they say Little old man contemplates Suicide twice a day

My love does it good Only my love only my love Everywhere with my love It's understood And when I go away I know my heart can stay With my love My love only my love And when the cupboard's bare

I don't like talkin' to you niggas, y'all don't understand me Poppin' rhythm when I talk, it's like I'm speakin' Spanish I'm so different from you dudes, I am not organic Say slow down on all that thuggin', think about your family It's like fuck it, I'm

Jive talkin' It's just your jive talkin' You're telling me lies, yeah You wear a disguise So misunderstood, yeah Oh, my child Good lovin' Still gets in my eyes Nobody believes what you say
