Misunderstood
D.R.A.M. Lyrics

I know you working hard but how you gon' figure me out? Hey
You claim to know everything about me, but how is that possible when you're not in my shoes?

Always running your mouth
You talk too much without any credible knowledge to back up what you're saying.

Never knowin' what you talking about, hey
You are completely ignorant about the subject you keep talking about.

Look, what's there to figure?
There's nothing complicated or mysterious about me, so there's nothing to figure out.

When you speak of that nigga that you can't understand
You try to speak about me as if you know me, but you really can't comprehend anything about me.

And now I'm all on the road
I'm always on the move, trying to figure out my path in life.

Running 100 miles an hour, not even which way to go
I'm constantly on the move, but I don't always know where I'm heading or what my next steps will be.

Look, if I don't know myself then tell me how do you know?
I'm still trying to figure out who I am, so there's no way you can possibly know me better than I do.

I've come to prove and show you niggas that I'm trained to go
I'm ready to show the world that I'm capable of anything, and that I'm not limited by anyone's expectations or beliefs.

But what's there to figure?
There's no need to complicate things or overthink my situation. It's just me, doing what I do.

When you speak of that nigga, you don't understand
You try to talk about me, but you don't really know or understand anything about me.

Dat-dat I can fuck any bitch in here without paying
I have the confidence and charm to attract any woman I want without having to pay for it.

Yeah, where my phone at? Call up Tar I need some xannies
I need to take some Xanax to calm my nerves and relieve my anxiety.

I want these poor niggas to complain
I want to see people struggle and suffer so that I can feel better about my own success.

I want these fake robbers to keep laying
I wish that fake criminals would continue pretending to be tough, so that I can laugh at their foolishness.

And he ain't want these fake bitches to keep singing
I don't want fake women to continue pretending to be genuine and sincere when they're really not.

They think baby is mine like they gon' get a dime
People assume that I have a lot of money and that they can benefit from having a connection with me, but that isn't necessarily true.

We'll work it out with time
I believe that eventually things will fall into place and work themselves out over time.

I want yours 'cause you got mine
I want something from you because I believe that you've taken something from me or owe me something.

Yeah-yeah-yeah, it ain't nothing to talk about
There's no need to discuss or debate my situation or actions, because it's really no one's business but my own.

When these bitches and niggas, they won't understand
People will continue to judge and misunderstand me, but that's okay because it's not their life to live.

As I revisit what I made for you to listen to
I'm looking back on my music and reflecting on what I've created and how it's been received by my fans.

I get into my zone and let go, that's the ritual
I have a routine of letting go of my worries and getting into a creative mindset when I'm producing music or performing.

Ask but when I mention you, not having clues and being fool
When people ask me about you, I don't have any real answers because I don't really know anything about you.

Darling to this one trick pony, thought I'm not the dude
People often see me as a one-dimensional artist, but I'm actually much more complex and multidimensional than that.

And you can be a local heathen to the son of Satan
You may think you're a bad person, but I've seen much worse and you don't even compare.

I give it up to him who praises and that's all I'm saying
I have faith in a higher power and I'm willing to give credit where credit is due.

I made a killing for a better life
I've worked hard and made a lot of money so that I can have a better quality of life.

Remember once and I'll forget it twice
Once I experience something, I learn from it and don't make the same mistake again.

Took advantage over night
I seized an opportunity and made the most of it, even though it happened quickly and unexpectedly.

I pray to God and hope I'm moving right
I have faith in God and hope that I'm making the right decisions and moving in the right direction in life.

I pray on y'all to quench my appetite
I rely on the attention and admiration of my fans to satisfy my hunger for success and validation.

Told you that my screws ain't tight
I'm open about the fact that I'm not perfect and sometimes make mistakes or have flaws.

I had to buckle down and focus 'cause I almost lost it
I had to work hard and stay focused because I was close to losing everything I had worked for.

I was hemorrhaging in the red and I could not afford it
I was losing a lot of money and couldn't continue to sustain my lifestyle if I didn't make changes.

Niggas tried to appropriate me, I could not go for it
People tried to take advantage of me and use me for their own gain, but I didn't let them.

I'm talking mine, I'm claiming mine, bitch I go Narcos for it
I'm fiercely protective of what's mine and will do whatever it takes to keep it, even if that means using drastic or violent measures.

They gon' make me glow up, I got no choice I'm saying
People will force me to level up my game, and I have no other option but to go along with it.

But what's the point of saying if you still won't understand?
There's no point in trying to explain myself to people who already have their mind made up and won't listen to reason or context.
