Misunderstood

I've been betrayed by some people that was close
You gotta watch your circle, it could even be the one you love the most
Don't believe 'em when they say they'd never fold
The word friend always got an end, that's whatever way it go
And it's sad I ain't even know my worth
They left me in the dirt and they ain't see that I was hurtin', but I had to live and learn
And later they gon' get what they deserve
I wanna vent, but I don't know the words, 'cause I've been feeling
So misunderstood
And it don't make it better being lonely in the hood
If I could throw the pain away, then guarantee I would
But the struggle made me tougher, shit, I promise you I'm good, nigga
If you say you love me like a brother, why you try to run game on me?
After everything I did, niggas change on me
I don't know if I can make it with this pain on me
I'm a real nigga, if I say it, I'mma stand on it, bitch

I'm a big dawg to your lil' homie
They gon' say they need me when I'm ballin', but I'm good on 'em
I know I'm a born sinner, but I'm still holy
I know I been getting all this money, but I'm still lonely
People quick to say nobody's perfect, but they judging me
They only call me when they need me, they don't fuck with me
But I gotta keep goin', I got young'uns lookin' up to me
I took a break from rapping, they still fuckin' with me, luckily
Rockin' with my family to the end, I ain't got no friends
I've been on the grind, don't give a fuck about no romance
You want me at my high but not my low, you ain't got no chance
So don't butter me up to get some money, I ain't no ham
If you ain't love me at my lowest point then get the fuck on
Can't accept me for the way I am, then nigga so long
Ain't ever selling out to get no fame, I'll be unknown
I'm workin' everyday until I'm hotter than the ozone

Shoutout to all my fam, they believe in me
My momma really worried 'bout me, she don't need to be
'Cause when I make it, guarantee she living easily
She never gotta worry 'bout me doin' shit illegally
You may know me, but you never knew my struggle
Ain't have nobody help, I had to get it off the muscle
Been stackin' up my paper, out the way and out of trouble
Tunnel vision on the hustle, nigga I don't wanna scuffle
And I've never been a fighter, but I've been out of my element
Humble to the bone, but the money made me arrogant
It's been a chill summer, I've been working on development
But 2022, I guarantee you I'll be prevalent
I remember coming up, I never said much
And I was bullied for that shit, but I ain't care much
But I done got a lil' older and I'm fed up
I gotta show them what I'm on, gotta man up
