Lil Wayne – DontGetIt

PARENTAL ADVISORY

Baby understand me now
If sometimes you see that I’m mad
Don’t you know no one alive can always be an angel
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad
But I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
O lord please don’t let me be misunderstood

Misunderstood ain’t gotta be explained
But you don’t understand me so let me explain
Stood in the heat, the flames, the snow
Please slow down hurricane
The wind blow, my dreads swang
He had hair like wool, like wayne
Dropping ashes in the bible
I shake em out and they fall on the rifle
Scary, hail mary no tale fairy
All real very, extraordinary
Perry mason facing, the barrel if he tattle
My God is my judge, no gown no gavel
I’m a rebel, down to battle
Now or never, I would never?
F**king fantastic, f**k if you agree
But I don’t give a f**k if you see me

I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
O lord please don’t let me be misunderstood

ah, What’s understood ain’t gotta be explained
So for those who understand meet Dwayne
For 8 and a half months I gave ms. cit da pain
Now it’s young money baby, keep the change
My mama say f**k em and we the same
So hello mothaf**ka you got some sheets to change
And ain’t it funny how people change like easter Sunday
You know church fit then outfit,
Bright pink and green chest look house lit
Bright pinky rings but that ain’t about this
What you bout bitch
Excuse my French emotion in my passion
But I wear my heart on my sleeve like it’s the new fashion
What are you asking, if I don’t have the answer
It’s probably on the web, like I’m a damn tarantula
But I know you don’t understand, cause you thought lil wayne is weezy
But weezy is Dwayne

I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
O lord please don’t let me be misunderstood

I was watching t.v. the other day, right.
Got this white guy up there talking about black guys
Talking about how young black guys are targeted
Targeted by who? America
You see one in every 100 Americans are locked up
One in every 9 black Americans are locked up
And see what the white guy was trying to stress was that
The money we spend on sending a mothaf**ka to jail
A young mothaf**ka to jail
Would be less to send his or her young ass to college
See, and another thing the white guy was stressing was that
Our jails are populated with drug dealers, you know crack-cocaine stuff like that
Meaning due to the laws we have on crack-cocaine and regular cocaine
Police are only, I don’t want to say only right, but shit
Only logic by riding around in the hood all day
And not in the suburbs
Because crack cocaine is mostly found in the hood
And ah, you know the other thing is mostly found in you know where I’m going
But why bring a mothaf**ka to jail if it’s not gonna stand up in court
Cause this drug ain’t that drug, you know level 3, level 4 drug, shit like that
um um, I guess it’s all a misunderstanding
I sit back and think, you know us young mothaf**kas you know that 1 in 9
We probably only selling the crack cocaine because we in the hood
And it’s not like in the suburbs, we don’t have the things that you have
Why? I really don’t wanna know the answer
I guess we just misunderstood hunh
Ya, you know we don’t have room in the jail now for the real mothaf**kas, the real criminals
Sex offenders, rapists serial killers
shit like that, oh don’t get scared, don’t get scared
i know you saw the sex offender papers, sure, he live right down on the end of your block
ya that nigga live right down the street from you, sec offender on the level three drug, convicted
ex con, ya, check em out. what you got daughter son? what you got?
ya, you know what?
( coughs )
thats the good weed
you know what i have a fuckin daughter,
you understand me
en, why the fuck would you bring my neighbor to jail,
just because, the is the reason why he living next to me,
ain’t the the reason I live next door to him
Meaning he didn’t rap his way to my fuckin neighborhood.
He sold crack cocaine to get to my neighborhood
You move him out bring him to jail for life
And then you move in with a sex offender
Haha, hey give me a paper
Haha is that a misunderstanding because I didn’t understand it
Another thing, let me take my glasses off
Cause I wanna see the reaction on there faces when I say this.
Haha, this is why I don’t respect you and Nobody like ya
See you’re the type that gets off on getting on other people
That’s not good
No homo, rather unhuman, I should say
I mean giving the fact that humanity were a good humanity
Rather to me is helpin one another
No matter your color or race
But this guy and people like him, they’d rather speculate before they informate
If that’s a word, ha haha you know spec before check
Anyways meaning id much rather
You talk to me first and see if you can lend an opinion before you link one
Just my thought of good humanity
Mr. Sharpton (heh heh)
Hold on, I ain’t finished with you man
Gotta pluck the ashes, mmm hmm, hold on, um
Mr. Sharpton, and anyone like you, you don’t know me
So, if you’re not goin to try to, then what you say
Or think about me, or whatever I do is totally Casper the friendly ghost
To me, and, it doesn’t make you a good person to
Criticize before you improvise
Doesn’t necessarily make you a bad person neither but
The characteristics fall heavily into bad sway, hah hah
But since I am human, I am good and bad as well
But I try my hardest to stay good
And some of the things I do and say may be bad, or just not too good
But I do try
So with that said, I don’t fault you, I mean, you’re only human
Good or bad, but I also don’t respect you
And I don’t care if that’s good or bad, heh heh
You see you are no MLK, you are no Jesse Jackson
You a nobody, to me, you’re just another Don King with a perm
Heh heh, just a little more political
And that just means you’re a little unhuman than us humans
And now, let me be human by sayin fuck Al Sharpton
And anyone like him, fuck if you understand me
I love being misunderstood, why?
Cause I live in the suburbs but I come from the hood
Bring the hook in!

I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
