Baby understand me now<br>
If sometimes you see that I'm mad<br>
Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel<br>
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad<br>
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good<br>
O lord please don't let me be misunderstood<br>
<br>
Misunderstood ain't gotta be explained<br>
But you don't understand me so let me explain<br>
Stood in the heat, the flames, the snow<br>
Please slow down hurricane<br>
The wind blow, my dreads swang<br>
He had hair like wool, like wayne<br>
Dropping ashes in the bible<br>
I shake em out and they fall on the rifle<br>
Scary, hail mary no tale fairy<br>
All real very, extraordinary<br>
Perry mason facing, the barrel if he tattle<br>
My God is my judge, no gown no gavel<br>
I'm a rebel, down to battle<br>
Now or never, I would never?<br>
F**king fantastic, f**k if you agree<br>
But I don't give a f**k if you see me<br>
<br>
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good<br>
O lord please don't let me be misunderstood<br>
<br>
What's understood ain't gotta be explained<br>
So for those who understand meet Dwayne<br>
For 8 and a half months I gave ms. cit da pain<br>
Now it's young money baby, keep the change<br>
My mama say f**k em and we the same<br>
So hello mothaf**ka you got some sheets to change<br>
And ain't it funny how people change like easter sunday<br>
You know church fit then outfit,<br>
Bright pink and green chest look house lit<br>
Bright pinky rings but that ain't about this<br>
What you bout bitch<br>

Excuse my french emotion in my passion<br>
But I wear my heart on my sleeve like it's the new fashion<br>
What are you asking, if I don't have the answer<br>
It's probably on the web, like I'm a damn tarantula<br>
But I know you don't understand, cause you thought lil wayne is weezy<br>
But weezy is dwayne<br>
<br>
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good<br>
O lord please don't let me be misunderstood<br>
<br>
I was watching t.v. the other day right<br>
Got this white guy up there talking about black guys<br>
Talking about how young black guys are targeted<br>
Targeted by who? america<br>
You see one in every 100 americans are locked up<br>
One in every 9 black americans are locked up<br>
And see what the white guy was trying to stress was that<br>
The money we spend on sending a mothaf**ka to jail<br>
A young mothaf**ka to jail<br>
Would be less to send his or her young ass to college<br>
See, and another thing the white guy was stressing was that<br>
Our jails are populated with drug dealers, you know crack/cocaine stuff like that<br>
Meaning due to the laws we have on crack/cocaine and regular cocaine<br>
Police are only, I don't want to say only right, but shit<br>
Only logic by riding around in the hood all day<br>
And not in the suburbs<br>
Because crack cocaine is mostly found in the hood<br>
And you know the other thing is mostly found in you know where I'm going<br>
But why bring a mothaf**ka to jail if it's not gon stand up in court<br>
Cause this drug ain't that drug, you know level 3, level 4 drug, shit like that<br>
I guess it's all a misunderstanding<br>
I sit back and think, you know us young mothaf**kas you know that 1 in 9<br>
We probably only selling the crack cocaine because we in the hood<br>
And it's not like in the suburbs, we don't have what you have<br>
Why? I really don't wanna know the answer<br>
I guess we just misunderstood hunh<br>
You know we don't have room in the jail now for the real mothaf**kas, the real criminals<br>
Sex offenders, rapists serial killers<br>
Don't get scared, don't get scared<br>
