Taking a more somber tone, “MISUNDERSTOOD” sees Russ addressing his past exes and the negative media attention he has garnered over the years.
The artist has gained notoriety and media attention for his polarizing attitude towards drug addiction, and has gained a lot of enemies in the process.
[Chorus]
Misunderstood, you only see
Pieces that fit your view of me
Your mind is made up, my hands are tied
Misunderstood time after time
[Post-Chorus]
I feel like I got nothing left
There's something in my way I can't move
I really showed you all of me
Just for you to pick and choose
[Verse 1]
How convenient for you
Try falling back, but I can't, I keep leaning towards you
If you wanna leave, then just leave, but I hope it ain't easy for you
I'm turning myself inside out, can't believe you don't see this for you
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
[Chorus]
Misunderstood, you only see
Pieces that fit your view of me
Your mind is made up, my hands are tied
Misunderstood time after time
[Bridge]
Don't you tell me
You know me when you don't
I was the best I
Could be for you
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah
[Verse 2]
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
Of overexplaining myself when you don't wanna get it
I'm not responsible for what you don't understand
Just for what I say and who I am
[Chorus]
Misunderstood, you only see
Pieces that fit your view of me
Your mind is made up, my hands are tied
Misunderstood time after time
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
