Misunderstood [pt2]
Brainiac; Too smart for these parts
Too white to be black
Too black to be white.
Misunderstood for being too smart.
A square is a square
A triangle, a triangle
But what does the odd shape that is too big do?
It doesn’t fit, it just won’t work.
Misunderstood for being different.
You misunderstand me
I turn away – your opinion doesn’t matter.
I just wish you would try to understand me.
I have to jump from hotel to hotel with my mom
And sisters looking for places to live.
Embarrassment- constantly all over my face
And yet you still misunderstand me.
