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...
 [bad word] 
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Misunderstood ain't 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
Ccary, 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 ??? [bad word] fantastic, [bad word] if you agree
But I don't give a [bad word] if you see me

What's understood ain't gotta be explained
So for those who understand meet Dwayne
For 8 and a half months I gave ms. Cita tha pain
Now it's Young Money baby, keep the change
My mama say [bad word] em and we the same
So hello [bad word] you got some sheets to change
And ain't it funny how people change like Easter Sunday
You know church fit then outfit
Bright pink and green chest look house lit
Bright pinky rings but that ain't about this
What you bout [bad word] 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 [bad word] Tarantula
But I know you don't understand, cause you thought Lil Wayne is Weezy
But Weezy is Dwayne

I was watchin T.V. the other day right
Got this white guy on there talkin bout black guys
Talkin about how young black guys are targeted
Targeted by who?
America
You see, one in every 100 Americans are locked up
1 in every, 9 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 [bad word] to jail
young [bad word] to jail
Would be less to send, his or her young [bad word] to college (heh)
See, and another thing the white guy was stressing was that
Our jails are populated with [bad word] dealers
You know crack, cocaine, yeah, stuff like that
Meanin 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] to jail
If it's not gonna stand up in court
Because this [bad word] ain't that [bad word] You know level 3, level 4 [bad word]  [bad word] like that (heh heh)
Mmm hmm, I guess it's all a misunderstanding, and um
I sit back and think well [bad word] us young [bad word] 
You know, that 1 in every 9
We probably only selling the crack cocaine just because we in the hood
And it's not like the suburbs
We don't have the things that you have
Why? I really don't want to know the answer, but uh...
I guess we just misunderstood uh, yeah
You know we don't have room in the jail
Now for the real [bad word]  the real criminals, you know [bad word] offenders, rapists, serial killers, [bad word] like that
Don't get scared, don't get scared
I know you saw one them  offenders papers
Don't trip, he live right on the end of your block, mmm hmm
Yeah, that [bad word] live right down the street from you [bad word] offender on a level 3 [bad word]  convicted, ex-con, yeah, check him out
And what you got, you got daughters, son, what you got?
Yeah, well you know what (coughing) (that's the good weed)
You know what? I have a [bad word] daughter
You understand me? And, why the [bad word] would you bring my neighbor
To jail just because
