[Little Simz - Miss Understood lyrics]
Don't stop i can feel your pain
I can see your tears so misunderstood
You're Miss Understood
I don't wanna be up, I been down for days
Layin' in my misery, hopin' I will be saved
Stuck in my ways, stubborn
I know it can't be changed
Livin' in isolation, attention I never crave
There go little Simbi from around the way
She wanted the credibility
Never cared for fame
While the palette fades
Release the colours of pain
It's a black and white world
Still in the area GREY
(Don't stop) Lookin' back
Was it all a waste of
Handshakes and how-are yous
And what you've-been-up-tos
And will you-be-home-soons and
When-are you-droppin'-again? Sussin' me out
Secretly hopin' I'm done with the pen
No receipts, can't return the gift I was sent
Everything I touch is felt
With the purest intent
Conversations with you is causin' resentment
Hard to accept the realness, she said
(Don't stop) I've been lovin' you freely
Back when you was broke, handin' out them CDs
Tried to fall in love and you
Cut 'cause you need me i told you
"Give it up" and you never believed me
Your obsession with me is with me
Has been your Achilles' heel
Feelings equals weakness and that's
Why you bury yours
Understand you are just a vessel for the Lord
Lion heart
Don't you feel the blessings in your paws?
Don't stop i can feel your pain
I can see your tears so misunderstood
You're Miss Understood
(Do do don't stop) Little misleadin'
Misguided, misunderstood, misjudged
(Pain) Little mistaken
Heartbroken, that's basic, mistrust (Pain)
For many days and for many nights
I just couldn't fathom all the fake stuff
Eyes wide open to fake love
'Cause no one's checkin' for you
When you got it bad
And you're in the worst, lowest place
Still could never crash
Strong women bounce back and secure bags
Know it's in my DNA to only be great
Niggas tryin' hard to get the
Juice and I'm lemonade
I write words for a livin'
And still can't communicate
Honesty is in my bones, I can't do the fake
Life's too short and I've seen too many tears
I've come too far for me to
Be consumed by my fears
Can't believe the space I'm in
With my older sister
I left the global empire and now
She thinks I dissed her it weren't that
I just needed to explore shit on my own
I just needed to figure out, mmm
I probably let my anger get the best of me
When it comes to family, see
Now you testin' me
You want my everything until there's
Nothing left of me i just wanted you to call
Me, sayin', "Hey, sis, how's your day been?
How's your love life? Who you datin'?
Oh, he fucked up? Girl, I had the same thing
But there's a bigger picture God is painting"
It's hard mixing family and business
I really wanted it to work
And God is my witness
So misunderstood you're Miss Understood
Don't stop i can feel your pain
I can see your tears so misunderstood
You're Miss Understood
I can see your tears so misunderstood
You're Miss Understood
I don't wanna be up, I been down for days
Layin' in my misery, hopin' I will be saved
Stuck in my ways, stubborn
I know it can't be changed
Livin' in isolation, attention I never crave
There go little Simbi from around the way
She wanted the credibility
Never cared for fame
While the palette fades
Release the colours of pain
It's a black and white world
