Judgemental glance, my circumstance each and every day
Making my way, ain't gonna stay for your drama
Say what you want, I'm gonna do me
Talking 'bout things that you just can't see (yeah)
State of affairs, nobody cares, are you listening?
Speading you lies, getting your highs breaking me down
Seeking out your joy looking at my pain
Wash out all your blame pointing at my stains
Oh, cast all your stones, break all my bones
Does it really make you feel better?
Oh, who among you ain't fallen too?
Worthy of the scarlet letter (Tell me)
Everybody's talking 'bout something they don't know about
Judging what they think that see (but that ain't me)
Everybody, preach what I should; ain't trying to see any good
I was misunderstood (ooh)
I was misunderstood (ooh)
Why do I feel like a castaway?
Living my truth, not in your view
I'm not gonna settle for the status quo (Oh, no!)
You are in the past, I've already let you go (yeah!)
Make no mistake, all of you hates' gonna make you fall
Looking so small, watching you crawl as I stand tall
You're on the way down, watch me as I rise
No, I'm not gonna give you the best years of my life
Oh, cast all your stones, break all my bones
Does it really make you feel better?
Oh, who among you ain't fallen too?
Worthy of the scarlet letter (Tell me)
Everybody's talking 'bout something they don't know about
Judging what they think that see (but that ain't me)
Everybody, preach what I should; ain't trying to see any good
I was misunderstood (ooh)
I was misunderstood (ooh)
Cast all your stones, break all my bones
Does it really make you feel better?
Always breaking me down, talk of the town
Won't let you bring me down with your fetters
(Oh, yeah) I was misunderstood
I was misunderstood (what do you want from me?)
Testing me, Vexing, oppressing me
Kicking me when I was down
Only God knows the pain, and the hurt, and the shame that you took me through while you were around (Lord, help me)
Everybody's talking 'bout something they don't know about
Judging what they think that see (but that ain't me)
Everybody, preach what I should; ain't trying to see any good
I was misunderstood (ooh)
I was misunderstood (ooh)
I was misunderstood (ooh)
I was misunderstood (ooh)
