Misunderstood

Marcus O'Neal 1986 (OKC)

I've always tried to be all that I could
Things just never went the way that they should
I've always been misunderstood
But I always try to stand for the greater good
Although I never truly listen to what others have said
I simply allowed everyone around me to get in my head
Throughout this life I have been misled
Some days I should of just stayed in bed
Because it seems like from success all I've done is fled
