Lil Wayne - DontGetIt lyrics

Baby, you 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
Oh, Lord
Please don't let me be misunderstood

Ugh, what’s understood ain’t got
To be explained but you don't understand me
So let me explain
Heh, stood in the heat, the flame
The snow, "Please, slow down, hurricane"
The wind blow, my dreads swang
"He had hair like wool, like Wayne"
Huh, 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 facin' the barrel if he tattle
My God is my judge no gown, no gavel
A hound, a rebel, down to battle
Now or never, or whenever, and the F for
"Fucking fantastic" fuck if you agree
I'm bright
But I don't give a fuck if you see me

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord
Please don't let me be misunderstood

Ugh, what's understood ain't got
To be explained
So for those who understand, meet Dwayne
For eight and a half months
I gave Miss Cita pain
Now it's Young Money, baby keep the change
My mama say, "Fuck 'em!" And we the same
So hello, motherfucker
You got some sheets to change
And ain't it funny how people
Change like Easter Sunday?
You know church fit, then out-fit
Bright pink and green chest look house-lit
Bright pinky rings, but that ain't about this
What you 'bout, bitch?
Excuse my French emotion and my passion
But I wear my heart on my
Sleeve like it's the new fashion
What are you askin'? 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
'Cause you thought Little Wayne was Weezy
But Weezy is Wayne

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord
Please don't let me be misunderstood


I'm watchin' TV the other day
Right? Got this white guy on there
Talking 'bout Black guys talking
About how young Black guys are
Targeted targeted by who? America

You see, one in every one hundred Americans
Are locked up one
In every nine Black Americans are
Locked up and see, what the white
Guy was trying to stress was that
The money that we spend
On sending a motherfucker to jail
A young motherfucker 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? yeah
Stuff like that
Meaning, due to the laws we have
On crack cocaine and regular cocaine
The 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 um, you know
The other thing is mostly found
You know where I'm
Going but why bring a motherfucker to jail
If it's not gonna stand up in
Court? Because this drug ain't that drug you
Know Level 3, Level 4 drugs, shit like that

Mhm i guess it's all
A misunderstanding and um, i sit
Back and think, well shit, us
Young motherfuckers, you know
That one in every nine: We probably only
Selling the crack cocaine just because
We in the hood
And it's not like your suburbs we
Don't have the things that you
Have why? I really don't want to know the
Answer but, I guess we just misunderstood
Huh? yeah

You know, we don't have room in the
Jail now for the real motherfuckers
The real criminals, you know: sex offenders
Rapists, serial killers
Shit like that oh, don't get scared
Don't get scared i know you saw one
Of them sex offender papers! Don't trip
He live right
On the end of your block, mhm yeah, that
Nigga live right down the street
From you sex offender
On the Level 3 drug convicted, ex-con, yeah
Check him out

And what you got, you got daughters
Son, what you got? yeah, well you know what?
(coughing) Don't stop the track
That's the good weed

You know what? I have a
Fucking daughter you understand me?
And why the fuck would you bring my neighbor
To jail just because the reason
Why he live next
Door to me ain't the reason why I
Live next door to him? Meaning
He didn't rap his way to my
Fuckin' 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 a sex offender hahaha
Then give me a paper
Haha is that a misunderstanding? 'Cause
I don't understand it

Another thing let me take my glasses off
'cause I want to see the reaction on the
Faces when I say this uhh mr al
Sharpton: here's why I don't respect you
And nobody like you

Mhm, see, you're the type that gets off
On gettin' on other
People, haha that's not good, no
Homo, and rather un human, i should say i
Mean, given the fact that humanity, well
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, haha you know, "'spec
Before check, " anyway meanin'
I'd much rather you talk to me first and see
If you can learn an opinion
Before you make one just my thought
Of good humanity, Mr sharpton, haha

Hold on, I ain't finished wit' you man
Gotta pluck the ashes, mhm, hold on, um

Mr sharpton, and anyone like you:
You don't know me so, if you're not gonna
Try to, then what you say or think
About me, or whatever 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 neither
But the characteristics fall heavily
Into bad's way, haha!

But, since I am human
I am good and bad as well
But I try my hardest
To stay good and some of the things
I do and say may be bad
Or just not too good
But I do try so with that said
I don't fault you i mean
You're only human good
Or bad but I also don't respect you, and
I don't care if that's good or bad, haha
You see, you are no MLK, you are
No Jesse Jackson you are nobody
To me you're just another Don King
With a perm just a little
More political and that just means you're
A little un human than us
Humans and now, let me be human
By saying fuck Al Sharpton
And anyone like him

Fuck 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!

But oh
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord
Please don't let me be misunderstood
