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 everythin’ goes wrong, you see some bad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh 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 Droppin’ 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 facin’ 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 [unverified] Fuckin’ fantastic, fuck if you agree But I don't give a fuck if you see me
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
What's understood ain't gotta be explained So for those who understand, meet Dwayne For 8 and a half months I gave Ms. Cita the pain Now, it's Young Money, baby, keep the change
My mama say fuck ‘em and we the same So, hello mothafucka, 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 rin’s 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 askin’? 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 Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I was watchin’ T.V. the other day, right Got this white guy up there talkin’ about black guys Talkin’ about how young black guys are targeted Targeted by who? America
You see 1 in every 100 Americans are locked up 1 in every 9 black Americans are locked up And see what the white guy was tryin’ to stress was that The money we spend on sendin’ a mothafucka to jail
A young mothafucka to jail Would be less to send his or her young ass to college See, and another thin’ the white guy was stressin’ Was that our jails are populated with drug dealers
You know crack cocaine, stuff like that Meanin’ 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 ridin’ around In the hood all day and not in the suburbs Because crack cocaine is mostly found in the hood And you know the other thin’ is mostly found in You know where I'm goin’
But why brin’ a mothafucka to jail If it's not gon’ stand up in court ’Cause this drug ain’t that drug You know level 3, level 4 drug, shit like that
I guess it's all a misunderstandin’, I sit back and think You know us young mothafuckas, you know that 1 in 9 We probably only sellin’ the crack cocaine Because we in the hood
And it's not like in the suburb We don't have what you have, why? I really don't wanna know the answer I guess we just misunderstood huh?
You know we don't have room in the jail now For the real mothafuckas, the real criminals Sex offenders, rapists serial killers Don't get scared, don't get scared
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
