Mr. Intentional
Ms. Lauryn Hill Lyrics

See the road to hell, is paved with good intentions
Good intentions can make you do bad things if they are not well thought out and planned properly, leading to negative consequences.

Can't you tell, the way they have to mention
The way people talk about their good deeds makes it obvious they are only doing it to boost their ego and look good in front of others.

Have they helped you out, you're such a hopeless victim
People who do things for others in a condescending way end up making the other person feel helpless and incapable, essentially making them victims.

Please don't do me any favors, Mr. Intentional
I don't need your condescending help or favors. Your intentions may not be genuine and I would rather not be a victim of your actions.

All their talk, seasoned to perfection
The way they talk and present themselves makes it seem like they are experts and have everything under control, but it's all a facade.

The road they walk, commanding your affection
People who act a certain way to gain appreciation are manipulative and selfish as they only care about how others perceive them.

They need to be needed, deceived by motivation
People who do things for others only to feel needed and validated are often selfish and their motivations are not genuine.

An opportunity, to further situation
People take advantage of situations to further their own interests and agendas, regardless of its impact on others.

Why they so important, is without explanation
It's unclear why some people think they are so important and have the right to meddle in other people's affairs and make decisions for them.

Please don't patrionize me, Mr. Intentional
I don't need your condescending attitude towards me. You are not better than me and I don't need you acting like you are.

We give rise to ego, by being insecure
Our insecurities can cause us to act in ways that boost our ego and sense of self-importance, often to the detriment of others.

The advice that we go, desperatly searching for
We often look to others for advice and guidance, but this can be problematic if we blindly follow without questioning their motives or skills.

The subconscious effort, to support our paramour
We often do things for the people we love without really realizing why we are doing it, leading us to ignore our own needs and happiness.

To engage in denial, to admit we're immature
It can be hard to admit our flaws and shortcomings, leading us to deny them and act in immature ways that negatively impact others.

Validating lies, Mr. Intentional
People may tell us lies to validate their own behavior, even if it's not in our best interest. We need to be careful not to fall for it.

Open up yours eyes, Mr. Intentional
I am telling you to be vigilant and aware of your own behavior and how it may affect others. Don't be blinded by your own ego and intentions.

Stuck in a system, that seeks to suck your blood
We can be trapped in systems that are meant to drain us of our energy, time, and resources, leaving us feeling lost and helpless.

Held emotionally hostage, by what everybody does
We can feel emotionally trapped by societal norms and expectations, making us feel like we have to conform to certain behaviors to be accepted.

Counting all the money, that you give them just because
We may feel like we have to give people money or material things just to be accepted or make them happy, even if it's not in our best interest.

Exploiting ignorance, in the name of love
People can take advantage of our lack of knowledge and experience by doing things that are not good for us but framing them as loving actions.

Stop before you drop because that's just the way it was
Don't keep doing things just because that's the way they have always been done if they are not good or beneficial. It's time to break the cycle.

Please don't justify me, Mr. Intentional
Don't try to justify your actions towards me. If you need to justify your behavior, then your intentions may not be genuine.

Wake up you've been sleeping
I am telling you to wake up and realize what is happening around you. Don't just blindly follow others and neglect your own thoughts and feelings.

Take up your bed and walk
I am telling you to take responsibility for your actions and take charge of your life. Don't wait for others to do it for you.

Stop blaming other people
Stop blaming others for your problems and take accountability for your own actions and decisions.

Oh it's nobody else's fault
I am telling you that you are the only one responsible for your own life and decisions. Stop blaming others for your own shortcomings.

Except the truth about you
The only thing that can change how you act and perceive the world is the truth about yourself. Don't deny your true self or your past actions.

You know that life goes on without you
Life will continue moving forward even if you don't take responsibility for your actions or try to make a change. You will be left behind.

And your expensive misinventions
Your attempts at fixing things or making a change may be costly, both financially and emotionally, and may not lead to positive results.

Disguising your intentions
If you have to disguise your intentions or motives, they are probably not genuine or good for others. Honesty is key.

Don't worship my hurt feelings, Mr. Intentional
Don't act like you care about my feelings or use them to manipulate me. My feelings are my own and I don't need you to control them.

See I know you can't help me, Mr. Intentional
I know you can't help me genuinely because your intentions are not pure or selfless. I don't need your fake help or support.

The only help I need to live, is unprofessional
I only need genuine, unprofessional help from people who care about me and are willing to support me without any hidden motives or intentions.

The only wealth I have to give, is not material
The only thing I have to offer others is my own time, respect, and kindness. These things are more valuable than any material possessions.

And if you need much more than that, I'm not available
If someone needs more than my time, respect, and kindness, then I am not available for them. I am not here to satisfy people's selfish needs.

Please don't entertain me, Mr. Intentional
Don't try to entertain me or manipulate me because I am not interested in your games. I see through your intentions and I'm not playing along.

Oh I don't need your sympthy, Mr. Intentional
I don't need your fake sympathy or pity. I am capable of handling my own problems and I don't need you to exploit my weaknesses.

Stay away from me, Mr. Intentional
Stay away from me and my life if your intentions are not genuine or selfless. I don't need your negative presence in my life.

So undementional, Mr. Promotional, Mr. Emotional, Mr. Intentional
These are all different types of people who act in their own interest or manipulate others for their gain, and I don't need any of them in my life.
