Baby you 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 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 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 in the ever Fucking fantastic, fuck if you agree I'm bright 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 pain Now it's young money baby, keep the change My mama say, 'Fuck 'em!' And we the same So hello motherfucker 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 Wayne I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh lord please don't let me be misunderstood I was watching TV the other day, right? Got this white guy on there talking about black guys Talking about how young black guys are targeted Targeted by who? America You see 1 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 that we spend on sending a motherfucker to jail A young motherfucker 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? Yeah, stuff like that Meaning, due to the laws we have on crack cocaine and regular cocaine The 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, um, you know the other thing is mostly found You know where I'm going But why bring a motherfucker to jail if it's not gonna stand up in court? Because this drug ain't that drug You know level 3, level 4 drug, shit like that Ha ha ha, mmm hmm, I guess it's all a misunderstanding And um, I sit back and think, well shit, us young motherfuckers You know, that 1 in every 9 We're probably only selling the crack cocaine just because we in the hood And it's not like they're suburbs, we don't the things that you have Why? Ha, I really don't wanna know that answer I guess we're just misunderstood huh, yeah You know we don't have room in the jail now for the real motherfuckers The real criminals, you know sex offenders Rapists, serial killers, shit like that Oh, don't get scared, don't get scared I know you saw one them sex offenders papers Don't trip, he live right on the end of yo' block Mmm hmm, yeah, that nigga live right down the street from you Sex offender on the level 3 drug Convicted, ex-con, yeah check 'im out Hey, what you got? You got a daughter, son? What you got? Ha ha yeah, you know what, that's the good weed You know what? I have a fucking daughter, you understand me? And why the fuck would you bring my neighbor to jail Just because the reason why he live next door to me Ain't the reason why I live next door to him Meaning, he didn't rap his way to my fucking 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 a sex offender, ha ha ha, they give me a paper Ha ha ha, is that a misunderstanding? 'Cause I don't understand it Another thing, let me take my glasses off 'Cause I wanna see the reaction on the faces when I say this Uh, Mr. Al Sharpton, here's why I don't respect you and nobody like you See, you're the type that gets off on getting on other people, ha ha That's not good, no homo and rather unhuman, I should say I mean giving the fact that humanity, well, good humanity rather To me, is helping one another, no matter your color or race But this guy and people like him They'd rather speculated before they informate, if that's a word, ha ha ha You know, spec before check? Anyway meaning I'd much rather you talk to me first And see if you can lend an opinion before you make one Just my thought of good humanity, Mr. Sharpton, ha ha ha Hold on I ain't finished with you man I 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 going to try to, then what you say or think about me Are 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 either But the characteristics for heading into bad's way, ha ha ha 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, ha ha You see you are no MLK, you are no Jesse Jackson, you're a nobody to me You're just another Don King, with a perm, ha ha ha 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 Ha ha, 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 © BENNIE BENJAMIN MUSIC INC; CHAPPELL & CO; ROSE MARCUS; WARNER-TAMERLANE PUBLISHING CORP; WB MUSIC CORP.; YOUNG MONEY PUBLISHING INC; Bu döküman AkorMerkezi.com'da yayınlanmıştır. http://www.akormerkezi.com
