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
OH, 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 end it ever
f**in fantastic, f** if you agree, i am bright
But I don’t give a f** if you see me
I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
meaning byKoolaid It’s obvious from these lyrics he knows racism still exists, so why’d he say that it isn’t in the interview? Idk maybe he’s just misunderstood….. See all 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 f** em and we the same
So, hello mothaf**a, 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 rins but that ain’t about this, what you bout b**h?
Excuse my French emotion in my pa**ion
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 its 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 mothaf**a to jail
A young mothaf**a to jail
Would be less to send his or her young a** to college
See, and another thin the white guy was stressin
Was that our jails are populated with drug dealers
You know crack c**aine, stuff like that
Meanin due to the laws we have
On crack c**aine and regular c**aine
Police are only, I don’t want to say only, right
But sh**, only logic by ridin around
In the hood all day and not in the suburbs
Because crack c**aine 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 mothaf**a to jail
If it’s not gon stand up in court
Cause this drug aint that drug
You know level 3, level 4 drug, sh** like that
I guess it’s all a misunderstandin, I sit back and think
You know us young mothaf**as, you know that 1 in 9
We probably only sellin the crack c**aine
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 mothaf**as, the real criminals
Sex offenders, rapists serial k**ers
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
