Misunderstood

(album: Life In Plastic 3 - 2022)

Uh
Can I talk my shit
Can I holla at y'all for a minute
You think you know Dream, but you have no idea
So can I break down how I did it
The credit cards charging, swipe em regardless
The project heat, could barely breathe in the apartment
You grow up like this, it's only right to be heartless
You gotta learn quick, take a shot, or be the target
You know I'm gon pop it
Same way I pop shit
End up doin 55 years like my pops is
I can't do 55 years in the projects
Gotta make it out this, gotta find a route quick
Need me a [?], some fits, jewels, and a whip
Before I get any of it, I need some ass and some tits
I ain't ashamed of it, I learned to gain from it
Double Ds, DreamDoll, made my name from it
Learned to gain from it, how the snakes suck you
How the streets got no love but they will fuck you
Fuck that, I got [?], so I struck back
I don't believe in bad luck, so where the bucks at
This is for the family, this is for the Grammys
This is for everybody that misunderstand me
Dream

Let's talk about it, I been about it, they asking for me
Bitches don't even eat breakfast but be after some tea
Whether it happened, didn't happen, or it happened to be
But if my name is in your mouth, then use it accurately
I get applause from the [?], they be clapping for me
And my accountant will calculate what the fraction will be
I'm from the bad girls club, I brought the ratchet with me
The Shade Room can't imagine what the caption will be
It ain't no cappin and you love it
The Bronx'll make you thug it
I ain't pussy but I bet your favorite rapper wanna fuck it
Ain't nothin to fuck with, I'm out here on the grind
Got a mother to support, got a father doin time
Lil brothers that I treat like they my son, they gotta shine
And I'm a Pisces but I really think that dollar is my sign

Is she a beauty or a bully
She sellin records or she out here selling pussy
My life is crazy, you can't understand me fully
I'm on the edge, [?] tryna push me or pull me
(OK, let's go)
You know regardless, I go the hardest, I'm more than an artist
I ain't never asked for a favor or beg for your pardon
Been the motherfucking star since you seen me at [?]
Once you sell out [?], it's the Barclay or Garden
And if you want it, I got it
Lil engine that could
Is she a misfit
Or just misunderstood

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
