[Nina Simone]
2
Baby, you understand me now
3
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
4
Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel
5
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad
6
[Chorus- Nina Simone]
7
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
8
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
9
[Verse 1- Lil' Wayne]
10
Uh, misunderstood ain't gotta be explained
11
But you don't understand me so let me explain (heh heh)
12
Stood in the heat, the flames, the snow
13
Please slow down hurricane
14
The wind blow, my dreads swing
15
He had hair like wool, like Wayne (huh)
16
Dropping ashes in the bible
17
I shake em out and they fall on the rifle
18
Scary, hail Mary no tale fairy
19
All real very, extraordinary
20
Perry Mason facing, the barrel if he tattle
21
My god is my judge, no gown no gavel
22
Uh, I'm a rebel, time to battle
23
Now or never, I would never, in the ever
24
Fucking fantastic, fuck if you agree
25
I'm bright but I don't give a fuck if you see me
26
[Chorus- Nina Simone]
27
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
28
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
29
[Verse 2- Lil' Wayne]
30
Uh, what's understood ain't gotta be explained
31
So for those who understand meet Tha Wayne
32
For eight and a half months I gave Ms. Cita pain
33
Now it's Young Money baby, keep the change
34
My momma say fuck 'em, and we the same
35
So, hello motherfucker you got some sheets to change
36
And ain't it funny how people change like Easter Sunday
37
You know church fit them outfit
38
Bright pink and green chest look house lit
39
Bright pinky rings but that ain't about this
40
What you 'bout bitch?
41
Excuse my French emotion in my passion
42
But I wear my heart on my sleeve like it's the new fashion
43
What are you asking, if I don't have the answer
44
It's probably on the web, like I'm a damn tarantula
45
But I know you don't understand
46
'Cause you thought Lil' Wayne is Weezy
47
But Weezy is Wayne
48
[Chorus- Nina Simone]
49
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
50
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
51
[Lil' Wayne Talking]
52
I watched T.V. the other day right
53
Got this white guy on there talkin' 'bout black guys
54
Talkin' about how young black guys are targeted
55
Targeted by who?
56
America
57
You see, one in every 100 Americans are locked up
58
One in every, 9 black Americans are locked up
59
And see what the white guy was trying to stress was that (inhales and exhales smoke)
60
The money that we spend on sending a motherfucker to jail
61
A young motherfucker to jail
62
Would be less to send, his or her young ass to college (ha)
63
See, and another thing the white guy was stressing was that
64
Our jails are populated with drug dealers
65
You know crack cocaine, yeah, stuff like that
66
Meanin' due to the laws we have on crack cocaine and regular cocaine
67
The police are only
68
I don't want to say only right, but shit
69
Only logic by riding around in the hood all day
70
And not in the suburbs, because
71
Crack cocaine is mostly found in the hood
72
And um, you know the other thing is mostly found
73
You know where I'm going
74
But why bring a motherfucker to jail
75
If it's not goin' stand up in court
76
Because this drug ain't that drug
77
You know level 3, level 4 drug, shit like that (hehe)
78
Mmm hmm, I guess it's all a misunderstanding, and um
79
I sit back and think well shit us young motherfuckers,
80
You know, that 1 in every 9
81
We probably only selling the crack cocaine just because we in the hood
82
And it's not like the suburbs
83
We don't have the things that you have
84
Why? I really don't want to know the answer, but uh
85
I guess we just misunderstood uh (haha ah) yeah
86
You know we don't have room in the jail
87
Now for the real motherfuckers, the real criminals, you know
88
Sex offenders, rapists, serial killers, shit like that
89
Don't get scared, don't get scared
90
I know you saw one them sex offenders papers
91
Don't trip, he live right on the end of your block, mhmm
92
Yeah, that nigga live right down the street from you
93
Sex offender on a level 3 drug, convicted, ex-con, yeah, check him out
94
And what you got, you got daughters, son, what you got?
95
Yeah, well you know what (coughing "don't stop the track") that's the good weed
96
You know what? I have a fuckin' daughter
97
You understand me? And, why the fuck would you bring my neighbor
98
To jail just because the reason why he live next door to me
99
Ain't the reason why I live next door to him
100
Mean that, he didn't rap his way to my fuckin' neighborhood
101
He sold crack cocaine to get to my neighborhood
102
You move him out, bring him to jail for life
103
And then you move in a sex offender, hahaha
104
They givin' me a paper, haha
105
Is that a misunderstanding? 'Cause I don't understand it
106
'Nother thing, let me take my glasses off
107
'Cause I want to see the reaction on the faces when I say this
108
Uh, Mr. Al Sharpton, here's why I don't respec' you
109
And nobody like you, hm hm, see
110
You're the type that gets off on gettin' on other people, ha ha
111
That's not good, no homo
112
And rather unhuman I should say
113
I mean, given the fact that humanity, well, good humanity rather
114
To me, is helpin' one another, no matter your color or race
115
But this guy, and people like him
116
They'd rather speculate before they informate, if that's a word, hahah
117
You know, 'spect before check, anyway
118
Mean that, I much rather you talk to me first
119
And see if you can learn an opinion before you make one
120
Just my thought of good humanity, Mr. Sharpton haha
121
Hold on, I ain't finished with you man
122
I gotta pluck the ashes, mhmm, hold on, um
123
Mr. Sharpton, and anyone like you, you don't know me
124
So, if you're not gonna try to, then what you say
125
Or think about me, or whatever I do is totally Casper the friendly ghost to me
126
And, it doesn't make you a good person to
127
Criticize before you improvize
128
Doesn't necessarily make you a bad person neither but
129
The characteristics fall heavily into bad sway, hah hah
130
But since I am human, I am good and bad as well
131
But I try my hardest to stay good
132
And some of the things I do and say may be bad, or just not too good
133
But I do try
134
So with that said, I don't fault you, I mean, you're only human haha
135
Good or bad, but I also don't respec' you
136
And I don't care if that's good or bad, haha
137
You see you are no MLK, you are no Jesse Jackson
138
You a nobody, to me, you're just another Don King with a perm, hahaha
139
Just a little more political
140
And that just means you're a little unhuman than us humans
141
And now, let me be human by sayin' fuck Al Sharpton
142
And anyone like him, fuck if you understand me
143
I love being misunderstood
144
Why? 'Cause I live in the suburbs but I come from the hood
145
Bring the hook in
146
[Chorus- Nina Simone]
147
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
148
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
