Misunderstood (WP Refix) ft. Yusuf Abdul pt.1

Baby you understand me now
If sometimes you see am mad
No one can be an angel
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad
Well, Im just a soul whos intentions are good
Oh Lord, please dont let me be misunderstood.

Big ups to Yusuf and Weezy/ i aint doing this solo, we gots one thing in common/dropping this refix in a way quite an-common/wanted to drop rhymes but ama give it in a form of a sermon/not really a sermon per se/just something to rub cliché the wrong way/in a way to make you think, "Forgive me Father for the sins ama commit today/But anyway in a way we all on the way to down six feet/most of us walkin the wide street/i mean, when we got no shoes on our feet/why the hell should we walk the straight and narrow/and the straight and narrow/be laid with them thorns as straight as arrows/playin life nothing less than a lay up/super powers not giving sh.t bout the ozone layer/coz less ice is more oil/more ammo to point at our economic boils/threating to burst em up our arse in a thrust/Alas! The upper thrust motion be the worst/it be the worst

The life we lead will always lead us
And we pray that he will never leave us
Its the price we pay, i guess thats the reason
why my grandma sang we all need Jesus

Worst upper thrust/Impossible to quench your thirst/until at last you have to get rid of some luxuries/'stead of you kid goin to nursery/she gon be making em matches in factories/or selling bootleg DVDs/all day, coming back looking like she high on PCP/ to be or not to be, and that aint a question/suicide for life, nothing calms the tension/in the Mid East or the DR/we all lookin like we just escaped the ER/respiration through gills that only breathe in hundred dollar bills/eternal slaves to money/some of it in your pocket and suddenly, someone starts calling you "Honey" . . .psssht!

People, do you understand me now
if sometimes i feel a little mad
Dont you know that no one can always be an angel
When things go wrong, i seem a little sad
But am just a soul whos intentions are good
Oh Lord, please dont let me be misunderstood

So we live in society/everything in order like lines of poetry/Gots to know when to put it in words or in figures/did he just say Nigga or Nigger?/Hmm, i figure its more complex than mixin liquor/Raising questions like exponent curves of X and Y/ does U.N.I.T.Y mean we get more of the K-Y?/does it matter how long chips funga takes to fry/Yeah, everything coming in multiple choices, pick A B C or D/your folks to please or being camerad doing certain things to Ms. Double Ds/school fees or keys to the whip with the 20 inch wheels/diamonds on the soles of her feet/or diamond moment for your souls to meet/like sweet sh.t between the clips of a 30 calibre piece?

The life we lead will always lead us
and we pray that he will never leave us
its the price we pay, i guess thats the reason
why my grandma sang, we all need Jesus

Ha! Its all getting cloudy in a purple haze/am startin to get lost in the twisty maze/death before dishonour/a lil something to the disciples preachin death in street corners/its a winding circle leaving peeps bonkers/brides over brothas/bros before b.tches/b.tches over hoes/Principle before Pride/Pride over P.ssy/so you gots to watch not to be called a wussy/for not flushin ur b.tch down the toilet/ lest u forget and stick ur ish in with them hornets/to bake your bread you need aluminium foilage/anything less and you stuck in reverse/singin songs called obtuse and inverse/different angles about the same verse/think bout it, the hims cant do nothing to get you off the cold/without hers your nothing bt chilly willy, Fireman so cold/but the hers just duck when you up against samurai jack and billy the kid/so who the f.ck do i get rid??

Misunderstood, Dont let me
be misunderstood
I'm just human, oh. . .

Rage ft. Coldplay,Erykah Badu & The Flobots

So the rose thorns got in the way of the sausage wrapper
Out oozed blood, red as the petals' colour
Thus an unexcpected baby shower
For an excpecting baby mama
Wain't she the one with The Pimp Named Slick?
F.ck no, bastard boy saw she big and ran ril quick
Greedy Child in her get so plump inna de womb
Little does Child know Child gon show her the way to her tomb
Curious Child wants to see world in a better view
So Child done start kickin belly before he's due
Pain too much so they took her to the hospital
Doctor say baby too big to come out thru the cervical
"Give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar"
says the folks up on the Hill
"So if you want caesarian show the Doctor dollar bills"
Paper too thick for she to cop in a day
Now Doc say they gon try get Child out the natural way
Big Child head in the cervical get stuck
Doc say he gon make some cuts, nip then tuck
All the blood she let loose she had to die
Strong Child done survive, Happy Child dont even cry
Impatient Child that knew too much for child age
Dear Mother done die but Happy Child smile dont change
Cursed Killer Child we shall now call. . .Rage

To hell with negative publicity, Rage is doing just fine
Kid so smart, if you squint a lil' his brain done shine
Rage can ride Rage bike with no handlebars
no handlebars, no handlebars
Rage can split the atoms of a molecule
of a molecule, of a molecule
Rage can see me face on the telephone
on the telephone on the telephone
Forget friends, Rage dont need friends
Rage dont need people to play with in the soccer fields
Rage aint into Peeping Tom or pickin sea shells
Every night Rage out with the telescope looking at Mars
Once Rage get a call from NASA, some sh't bout stars
Smart Rage gon be very rich someday
But way Rage talk dont seem Rage think that way
Rage keep saying that aint Rage fate
Sat thru the whole time Rage spoke debates
Quotes the Q'uran and the Vedic verses and the Bible
Asks why the rich went back to the poor to be humbled
"Where to did Prophet Mohammed flee from danger?
Why did the Messiah Jesus get birth in a manger?"
Rage would ask in a tone as if to wonder
But in Rage eyes you could see Rage knew the answer

* * *


Rage a big boy now, voice bolder now, body stronger now
Aint on the Forbes list but Rage sho on the front line
Leads the marches to the Hill and makes the headlines
Folks on the Hill aint too glad with this Rage kid
Under the railroad, we passing copies of his new vid
"They now rule the world
Seas rise when they give the word
In the morning they gon sleep alone
Sweep the streets they used to own"
Hill folks say" Rage done spark confusion
What be this nonsense bout constitutions and Trade Unions?
Same blood under different skin, no to racism?
Cast the first stone ye with no sin?
Country in shambles cause Hill folk be Robbing the Hood?
This Rage done become too clever for Rage own good!"
So Rage on the line for the firing squad
As a teaching to the rest who wan' get thus bored
But Rage voice still strong
"We gon keep marching on
Until you hear dat freedom song
And if you think bout turning back
I got the shotgun on ya back"

BLLLAAAHHH!!
