Lil' Wayne - DontGetIt Lyrics






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 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
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?
Fucking fantastic, fuck if you agree
But I don't give a fuck 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 ain't gotta be explained
So for those who understand meet Dwayne
For 8 and a half months I gave ms. Cita pain
Now it's young money baby, keep the change
My mama say fuck em and we the same
So hello mothafucka 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 bitch
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, cause you thought lil wayne is weezy
But weezy is dwayne

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 mothafucka to jail
A young mothafucka 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 mothafucka to jail if it's not gon stand up in court
Cause this drug ain't 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 mothafuckas 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 mothafuckas, the real criminals
Sex offenders, rapists serial killers
Don't get scared, don't get scared

    DONTGETIT LYRICS

    [Intro: Nina Simone]
    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

    [Hook: Nina Simone]
    But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
    Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

    [Verse 1: Lil Wayne]
    Uh, what’s understood ain’t gotta be explained
    But you don't understand me, so let me explain
    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

    [Hook: Nina Simone]
    But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
    Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

    [Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
    What's understood ain't gotta 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 momma 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 outfit
    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 Lil Wayne was Weezy, but Weezy is Wayne

    [Hook: Nina Simone]
    But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
    Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

    [Spoken: Lil Wayne]
    I was 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 motherfucka to jail if it's not gonna stand up in court? Because this drug ain't that drug. You know; level three, level four drug, 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. Meanin', 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, mhmm, 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!

    [Hook: Nina Simone]
    But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
    Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

  24. N.... S....

    Acrimony...

  25. K.... M....

    e como vi por em costume a um anjo

  26. T.... ....

    This song is absolutely legend. I just found it in 2018 but WOW!!!!

    it took at least 34 mins to find this

  28. B.... S....

    a minha preferida de todas wayne lenda viva ❤🎤🍁

  29. W.... W....

    2018 and still rocking with the best rapper alive

  30. W.... i....

    BABY YOU UNDERSTAND ME NOW...?

  31. B.... J....

    His words 💣👑showed me a lot about this world and that's why he's my favorite rapper buh people can't see that

  32. C.... R....

    Still be listening to this in 2018 🔥

    C.... R....

    Listening to it as I text.

  33. M.... C....

    I don't give a fuck what the name of the track is called i just want to know what the show he was talking about with the white guy talking about young black guys being targeted anybody know where the video is?

  34. T.... B....

    I remember i was on a high speed chase to this song............ Smh ☺ oh yea i gotta away

    T.... B....

    How I want to hear this story

  35. D.... ....

    "He had hair like wool, like wayne" I think that went over plenty of heads.

    D.... ....

    In the Bible it says Jesus had hair like wool. Lil Wayne is using Jesus & Wayne synonymously to basically say he’s Jesus.

    Went over my head I’m not gonna lie since Im not really a follower of religion, but it’s not really a complex line or nothing. Just a typical tongue in cheek Weezy line that you’ll get if you read the bible

    D.... ....

    @Kaizer-Man Not comparing himself to Jesus. He's saying he's the truth, like Jesus had a real message to spread and Wayne is saying they wanna kill him and make him out to be something he's not like Jesus. Wile also making a Jesus was originally black reference

    D.... ....

    He says “ I dress Wayne, he had hair like wool like rain” quoting a passage from the bible that describes Jesus and applying it to himself as if he was Jesus 🤦‍♂️

    D.... ....

    Bruce Wayne he aint say that shit lol

  36. T.... ....

    i swear this songs called misunderstood...

    T.... ....

    Philip Geleta that’s what ppl thought but it’s not

  47. S.... ....

    meek brought me here...

  48. S.... K....

    This song is the reason why Wayne was made to appear crazy and kill off his music. Dropping too much knowledge that would cause these idiots to wake up.

  49. S.... K....
