She was born Michelle Johnson to Army lieutenant (and saxophonist) father Jacques Johnson and her mother, Helen in Berlin, Germany.
Raised in Washington, D.C., Meshell Suhaila Bashir Shakur (as she became known) adopted the surname Ndegéocello, which means "free like a bird", while still in her teens. She has been hailed in the music press as a redeemer of soul music. Her music incorporates funk, soul, hip-hop, reggae, rock and jazz. She has been nominated for 9 Grammys. She has frequently toured with Lilith Fair.
Ndegeocello honed her chops on the D.C. Go-go circuit in the late 1980s before venturing out as a solo artist. She emerged as a recording artist in 1993 on Maverick Records/Sire Records with her debut, Plantation Lullabies. This recording presented a distinctly androgynous persona. Her music has been featured in a number of film soundtracks including How Stella Got Her Groove Back and Batman and Robin. She has also appeared on recordings by Basement Jaxx and The Blind Boys of Alabama, among others. Her biggest hit is a duet with John Cougar Mellencamp, a cover version of Van Morrison's Wild Night, which reached #3 on the Billboard charts.
Her singles If That's Your Boyfriend (He Wasn't Last Night), Leviticus: Faggot, and her cover of Bill Withers Who Is He and What Is He To You? have all charted in the Billboard top 20. She sang background vocals on the song I'd Rather be Your Lover by Madonna, on her album Bedtime Stories. She also sang with Chaka Khan on the single Never Miss the Water, as well as providing her typical solid bass skills.

Baby you understand me now
Sometimes you see I'm mad
No one can always be an angel
Sometimes you see some bad
Well I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Sometimes I know is worry
Then bound to see my other side
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
If I seem edgy
I want you to know
I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems
I get more than my share
But that's one thing I never mean to do
'Cause I love you
I'm only human
I have faults like anyone
Afraid I waste my life in worry
By some foolish thing I've said or done
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Laverne Murphy
I loved this song when I heard it on proud Mary movie ❤️

Awesome! I feel and know the same.
Rodney Steward
This lady is just too cold. Her bass game is outstanding 👌, and the story she weave's is too deep. She's my fav.
PEACE 😎.
Frédéric Ulpat

Nina Simone was one of the first to speak out about mental health. Then she was black and a WOMAN. This is all about her mental struggles. She is fucking awesome. Good cover as well.
goolug
Mixing is incredible in this song
Niecy Baker
