Lil Wayne - DontGetIt(2008)

[00:01.98] Baby, you understand me now
[00:10.69] If sometimes you see that I'm mad
[00:17.47] Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel?
[00:22.90] When everything goes wrong you see some bad
[00:28.83] But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
[00:30.41] Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
[00:42.71] What's understood ain't gotta be explained
[00:45.38] But you don't understand me, so let me explain
[00:48.30] Stood in the heat, the flame
[00:51.85] The snow
[00:52.65] Please slow
[00:53.75] Down hurricane
[00:55.05] The wind blow
[00:56.48] My dreads swang
[00:58.22] He had hair like wool, like Wayne
[01:01.52] Dropping ashes in the Bible
[01:04.03] I shake 'em out
[01:05.28] And they fall on the rifle
[01:07.33] Scary
[01:08.40] Hail Mary
[01:09.32] No tale-fairy
[01:10.63] All real, very extraordinary
[01:13.48] Perry Mason facin' the barrel if he tattle
[01:16.67] My God is my judge -- no gown, no gavel
[01:19.75] A hound, a rebel
[01:21.49] Down to battle
[01:23.23] Now or never
[01:24.67] Or whenever
[01:26.46] And the F for --
[01:27.85] Fucking fantastic
[01:28.63] Fuck if you agree
[01:29.45] I'm bright, but I don't give a fuck if you see me
[01:31.84] But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
[01:37.70] Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
[01:44.76] Uhh, what's understood ain't gotta be explained
[01:47.87] So for those who understand, meet Dwayne
[01:51.11] For eight and a half months I gave Miss Cita pain
[01:54.48] Now it's Young Money, baby, keep the change
[01:57.55] My momma say "Fuck em!", and we the same
[02:00.11] So hello motherfucker, you got some sheets to change
[02:04.13] And ain't it funny how people change like Easter Sunday
[02:08.61] You know church fit, then outfit
[02:09.97] Bright pink and green chest look house-lit
[02:11.79] Bright pinky rings, but that ain't about this
[02:15.00] What you 'bout, bitch?
[02:17.29] Excuse my French emotion and my passion
[02:19.42] But I wear my heart on my sleeve like it's the new fashion
[02:22.83] What are you askin?
[02:24.38] If I don't have the answer
[02:25.86] It's probably on the web, like I'm a damn tarantula
[02:29.54] But I know you don't understand
[02:32.41] Cause you thought Little Wayne was Weezy
[02:33.00] But Weezy is Wayne
[02:34.72] But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
[02:47.88] Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
[02:49.55] I was watchin' TV the other day, right?
[02:54.92] Got this white guy on there talking 'bout black guys
[02:59.81] Talking about how young black guys are targeted
[03:07.62] Targeted by who? America
[03:13.89] You see, one in every one hundred Americans are locked up
[03:18.57] One in every nine Black Americans are locked up
[03:25.55] And see what the White guy was trying to stress was that
[03:28.24] The money that we spend on sending a motherfucker to jail
[03:35.31] A young motherfucker to jail
[03:37.85] Would be less to send his or her young ass to college
[03:46.30] See, and another thing the White guy was stressing was that
[03:52.88] Our jails are populated with drug dealers
[03:53.76] You know, crack cocaine? Yeah, stuff like that
[03:58.78] Meaning, due to the laws we have on crack cocaine
[04:03.34] And regular cocaine
[04:04.78] The police are... only
[04:10.32] I don't want to say only right, but shit
[04:12.55] Only logic by riding around in the hood all day
[04:17.06] And not in the suburbs, because
[04:19.91] Crack cocaine is mostly found in the hood
[04:23.75] And um, you know the other thing is mostly found
[04:28.65] You know where I'm going
[04:31.63] But why bring a motherfucka to jail
[04:33.28] If it's not gonna stand up, in court
[04:35.64] Because this drug ain't that drug
[04:39.19] You know, level three, level four drug, shit like that
[04:41.92] Mhmm. I guess it's all a misunderstanding
[04:46.65] And um, I sit back and think, well shit, us young motherfuckers
[04:50.18] You know, that one in every nine
[04:53.55] We probably only selling the crack cocaine
[04:56.43] Just because we in the hood
[04:59.04] And it's not like the suburbs
[05:01.88] We don't have the things that you have
[05:04.05] Why? I really don't want to know the answer
[05:08.75] I guess we just misunderstood huh? Yeah
[05:17.27] You know we don't have room in the jail
[05:22.62] Now for the real motherfuckers, the real criminals, you know
[05:25.02] Sex offenders, rapists, serial killers, shit like that
[05:31.51] Oh, don't get scared, don't get scared
[05:33.54] I know you saw one them sex offender papers
[05:36.76] Don't trip, he live right on the end of your block, mmmhmm
[05:40.12] Yeah, that nigga live right down the street from you
[05:44.42] Sex offender, on the level 3 drug
[05:46.23] Convicted, ex-con, yeah, check him out
[05:49.51] And what you got, you got daughters, son, what you got
[05:53.87] Yeah, well you know what? (coughing)
[06:00.12] Don't stop the track (that's the good weed)
[06:04.83] You know what, I have a fucking daughter
[06:05.73] You understand me?
[06:09.88] And, why the fuck would you bring my neighbor
[06:12.55] To jail just because the reason why he live next door to me
[06:15.79] Ain't the reason why I live next door to him
[06:17.44] Meanin', he didn't rap his way to my fuckin neighborhood
[06:24.99] He sold crack cocaine to get to my neighborhood
[06:29.17] You move him out, bring him to jail for life
[06:34.18] And then you move in a sex offender, heh heh heh
[06:37.68] They giving me a paper, heh heh hah
[06:39.60] Is that a misunderstanding, cause I don't understand it
[06:44.23] Another thing, let me take my glasses off
[06:49.27] Cause I want to see the reaction on the faces when I say this
[06:54.76] Uhh, Mr. Al Sharpton; here's why I don't respect you
[07:00.76] And nobody like you, hmm hmm, see
[07:06.21] You're the type that gets off on gettin on other people, heh hehe
[07:13.54] That's not good, no homo
[07:16.52] And rather unhuman I should say
[07:17.87] I mean, given the fact that humanity
[07:21.11] Well, good humanity, rather
[07:22.85] To me, is helpin one another, no matter your color or race
[07:26.68] But this guy, and people like him
[07:28.93] They'd rather speculate before they informate
[07:31.99] If that's a word, heh heh
[07:35.95] You know, 'spect before check, anyway
[07:39.66] Mean that, I much rather you talk to me first and see if you
[07:44.11] Can learn an opinion before you make one
[07:46.08] Just my thought of good humanity, Mr. Sharpton (heh heh)
[07:49.37] Hold on, I ain't finished wit' you man
[07:56.59] Gotta pluck the ashes, mhmm, hold on, um
[08:01.71] Mr. Sharpton, and anyone like you, you don't know me
[08:05.20] So, if you're not gonna try to, then what you say
[08:10.12] Or think about me, or whatever I do
[08:12.89] Is totally Casper the Friendly Ghost
[08:15.16] To me, and, it doesn't make you a good person to
[08:20.72] Criticize before you improvise
[08:23.23] Doesn't necessarily make you a bad person neither, but
[08:26.85] The characteristics fall heavily into bad sway, hahahh
[08:29.50] But, since I am human, I am good and bad as well
[08:32.71] But I try my hardest to stay good
[08:37.44] And some of the things I do and say may be bad
[08:40.40] Or just, not too good
[08:43.74] But I do try
[08:44.72] So with that said, I don't fault you
[08:46.67] I mean, you're only human
[08:49.01] Good or bad, but I also don't respect you
[08:52.53] And I don't care if that's good or bad, heh heh
[08:55.32] You see, you are no MLK, you are no Jesse Jackson
[09:00.73] You a nobody, to me
[09:05.41] You're just another Don King with a perm
[09:07.65] Just a little more political
[09:12.49] And that just means you're a little unhuman than us humans
[09:14.50] And now, let me be human by saying fuck Al Sharpton
[09:21.18] And anyone like him
[09:24.08] Fuck if you understand me
[09:26.45] I love being misunderstood
[09:28.54] Heheh, why?
[09:30.89] Cause I live in the suburbs, but I come from the hood
[09:34.24] Bring the hook in
[09:38.11] But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
[09:44.69] Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
[09:45.35]
