Lil' Wayne - Misunderstood lyrics

rate me

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 aint 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 im bright

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

What's understood aint 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 aint 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 aint 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, cuz you thought wayne was weezy

but weezy is wayne

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 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 gon stand up in court

cuz this drug aint that drug, you know level 3, level 4 drug, shit like that

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 what you have

why? i really don't wanna know the answer

i guess we just misunderstood hunh

you know we don't have room in the jail now for the real mothaf**kas, the real criminals

sex offenders, rapists serial killers

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,

Mhm yea, that nigga live right down the street from you,

sex offender on the level 3 drug,

convicted ex-con

yea check em out

what you got, you got a daughter, son , what you got.?

hahaa yea, you know what

that’s the good weed,

you know what, I have a f**king daughter

you understand me and why the f**k would you bring my neighbor to jail

jus because the reason why he live next door to me, ain’t the reason I live next door to him

Meaning he didn’t rap his way to my f**king 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

ahaha, hey give me a paper,

ahaha 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

ha-ha, 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 helping 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-haahha 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, hold on I aint finished with you man

na f**k that shit Mhm hold on, um,

Mr. sharpton and anyone like you, you don’t know me

so if your not going to try to then what you say or think about me

are what ever 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 fall heavily into bads way, ahah but since I am human I am good and bad, as well but I try my hardest to stay good

threes other things I do and say may be bad or just not to good

but I do try, so with that said I don’t fault you, I mean your only human, good or bad

but I also don’t respect you and I don’t care if that’s good or bad

you see you are no MLK you are no Jesse Jackson, you are nobody, to me, your just another don king, with a perm, hahah just a little more political, and that just means you’re a little unhuman

then use humans, and now let me be human and say, f**k Al Sharpton and anyone like him

f**k if you understand me

I love being misunderstood

haha why?,

cause I live in the suburbs

but I come from the hood

Bring the hook in.
