Lyrics

Misunderstood

[Intro: Yung Buk]

The F scale is used to describe the intensity of tornadoes or twisters, and the damage they cause

Categories F0 through F4 describe damage ranging from light to devastating

However, category F5 describes total damage

Framed homes are lifted from their foundations

And carried hundreds of miles to disintegrate

Automobiles fly through the air like missiles, trees are debunked

Reinforced concrete structures are destroyed, incredible phenomenon

And a whole lot of fucked up shit will occur, for example

[Verse 1: Yung Buk]

Yeah... of course...

Okay, okay

It's safe to say that I walk a fine line between good and evil

This is a fine time

For me to be trying to explain what's going on inside my mind

Nigga, I don't see no, other kind of solution

To let these problems loose

Therapeutic, the music is sort of a masseuse

To massage my mental so I won't lose it

Sometimes I can't help myself, myself got a mind of its own

Buk cannot accept this Jeff

And then Jeff want Buk to die and be gone

Both supposed to be occupyin' the same time, and the same space

But no, just me goin' out of my sane mind

[Verse 2: Twista]

They don't really know how I feel

What the fuck is wrong with the muh'fucka

Twista is the nigga off of a pill

Is he off of wet? Is he off of syrup?

Something deep with Formula 44 of Benadryl?

'Cause a nigga finna kill

Misunderstood 'cause I'm passin' whatever disaster

It's not 'cause I'm blasphemous

I leave a nigga body bloody like

Passions of Christ with a mask and a knife

Go blast with the mic

If His prophecy the first shall be last

Then I am the future, you are a primitive

Morph-ism, a scorpion, these shoes are venomous

The new artillerist

And you don't really wanna start from Genesis

And you don't really wanna spark the nemesis

Get loose if it's a crucifix, I put you on it for murder boy

You don't wanna bring darkness into this

[Verse 3: Yung Buk]

Yeah, all those that relate then you can feel my pain

Tryna walk straight away from the hatred

That I hold deep down inside, quiet

I wait, I never talk shit about a nigga biz

'Cause a nigga's his, and besides that

I ain't no fuckin' kid, you bitch

You really know it coulda done and been some shit

There could have been a minutes

That's we really could of plenty through

But all of this bitchin' cleanin' shit

Seven-hundred million in the plastic

I just consider it all as destiny

Manifestin' itself, no fin' to shit

Steppin' over holes, watching my steps

You don't know what I been through bitch

[Verse 4: Twista]

Yet I get money like I'm Pitbull, rich

Then when I hear an instrumental, I get into it

Feel a mental glitch

Then I gotta cut a motherfucker like a Ginsu bitch

After that I'm nothing be held to love

Especially if I feel with Beelzebub

Instead of the Holy Divine, I be outta my mind

And I would detail a thug

[Chorus: Twista & (Yung Buk)]

(I'm a misunderstood nigga) Tell 'em why

'Cause I'm kind of like Kurt Cobain

An expert on pain, you fear it, I got lyrics

And a pistol that'll hurt your brain

Because I'm a (misunderstood nigga) Tell 'em why

'Cause I'm kind of like Tyler Durden

I can fuck a nigga up as [?] my body with flames

And never feel the fire hurt me

Because I'm a (misunderstood nigga)

Like I would be only black ain't walk too weak

What I do for the hood is for the good, O.G. swag nigga

Don't talk when I speak

Because I'm a (misunderstood nigga)

King Neal, Willy Lloyd, and Angelo Roberts

When it come to a flow, you think your man go hard

But shit, this man'll go harder

Because I'm a (misunderstood nigga)

[Verse 5: Twista]

I'm about to fuck shit up

Got me rippin' through your body like a natural disaster

Moving like a torpedo with the speed and the vengeance of a killer

If you looking for a murderer, I'm the master motherfucker

I'm about to tear shit up

With heat from a thermometer

Go get your momma to pay for the burial

I'm an astonishing, inter-planetary

Devouring everything from Earth to Andromeda, they feelin' me

'Cause I'm about to fuck shit up

Like Freddy after Jason with a fascination for a laceration

And congratulations for eradication

Because I know ain't no vaccination for decapitation

At a rapper pacing, I'm about to tear shit up

Because I take hits with that purple like I am a Viking

Call me lyrical-ution

I run with a mob of wolves like I am a lycan

Some off the top, some I am writin'

And if you ain't strapped, iron, we fightin'

Can't rock by me, runnin' through the middle of the field

With that white like I am a titan

Niggas never know what Twista be on

Low key nigga fuckin' with a bitch from the hood

I insist that I talk to the psycho psychiatrist

'Cause I'm misunderstood

[Verse 6: Yung Buk]

Doctor I'm problematic, tryna withdraw from always lawlessly Resolvin' all of my static 'cause I know God is calling me

But not to come home yet

Basically about the own set

Of blessings from the seeds that I've sown

Some yet might not be up on yet

But any anyhow niggas tryna pin me down

With bullshit I'll try to keep it moving

Until they fuck up and I distribute the blaow!

'Cause I'm bound by law, pure Chicago crown by the bosses

On Scuva Streets my project window down town office

All I want is my music, my money, my muh'fuckin'

Shit to be viewed among the elite, not to sleep I was thuggin'

I'm just a good nigga, up to no good nigga

Suburbs to the hood I wish you fuckin' would nigga

[Chorus: Twista & (Yung Buk)]

(I'm a misunderstood nigga) Tell 'em why

'Cause I'm kind of like Kurt Cobain

An expert on pain, you fear it, I got lyrics

And a pistol that'll hurt your brain

Because I'm a (misunderstood nigga) Tell 'em why

'Cause I'm kind of like Tyler Durden

I can fuck a nigga up as [?] my body with flames

And never feel the fire hurt me

Because I'm a (misunderstood nigga)

Like I would be only black ain't walk too weak

What I do for the hood is for the good, O.G. swag nigga

Don't talk when I speak

Because I'm a (misunderstood nigga)

King Neal, Willy Lloyd, and Angelo Roberts

When it come to a flow, you think your man go hard

But shit, this man'll go harder

Because I'm a (misunderstood nigga)
