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

so hello mothaf**ka you got some sheets to change 
and aint it funny how people change like easter sunday

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.
