DontGetIt
lil wayne Lyrics

Baby you understand me now
My dear, do you truly comprehend my thoughts and feelings?

If sometimes you see that I'm mad
In those moments when you witness my anger

Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel
It should be understood that no person can maintain perfection

When everything goes wrong, you see some bad
During times of adversity, negative actions may arise

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
However, my innermost being desires positivity

Oh lord please don't let me be misunderstood
I pray that I am not erroneously perceived by others

What's understood ain't gotta be explained
There is no need to elucidate what is already comprehended

But you don't understand me so let me explain
Since you lack comprehension, allow me to clarify my perspective

Stood in the heat, the flames, the snow
Having endured challenging situations in blazing heat, intense cold, and even danger

Please slow down hurricane
I beseech you, reduce the velocity of this destructive storm

The wind blow, my dreads swing
As the wind gusts, my hair, styled in dreadlocks, sways in rhythm

He had hair like wool, like Wayne
In reference to biblical imagery, his hair resembled wool, much like mine

Dropping ashes in the bible
I casually discard the remains of burned substances onto the pages of a holy scripture

I shake em out and they fall on the rifle
Nonchalantly shaking the ashes off the book only to have them land on a firearm

Scary, Hail Mary no tale fairy
Frightening circumstances, not fictional tales, similar to a desperate Hail Mary pass in football

All real very, extraordinary
Genuine and truly exceptional, beyond the ordinary

Perry mason facing, the barrel if he tattle
Like Perry Mason, a fictional defense attorney, facing the potential consequence of a gun for revealing secrets

My God is my judge, no gown no gavel
My personal judge is God Himself, not a judicial system with robes and hammers

I'm a rebel, down to battle
I possess a rebellious nature and am always ready to engage in conflict

Now or never, I would never and ever
The time for action is either immediately or never, and I would never choose the latter

F***ing fantastic, f*** if you agree, I'm bright
Truly sensational and remarkable, regardless of your agreement, as I am intellectually gifted

But I don't give a f*** if you see me
However, I do not care whether you perceive or acknowledge my brilliance

What's understood ain't gotta be explained
Knowledge that is mutually comprehended requires no further clarification

So for those who understand meet Dwayne
Therefore, for those who possess comprehension, allow me to introduce my true self, Dwayne

For eight and a half months I gave Ms. Cita pain
During a period of eight and a half months, I caused distress to Ms. Cita

Now it's young money baby, keep the change
Presently, it is the era of success and financial prosperity, keep the leftovers as a token of my accomplishments

My mama say f*** em and we the same
My mother advises me to disregard them as we share similar attitudes and perspectives

So hello mothaf***a' you got some sheets to change
Greetings, my acquaintance! Do you possess a need to alter bed linens?

And ain't it funny how people change like Easter Sunday
Isn't it ironic how individuals transform similarly to the festive spirit of Easter Sunday?

You know church fit then outfit
A reference to the tradition of donning elaborate clothing for church services

Bright pink and green chest look house lit
Wearing a vibrant combination of pink and green, emanating a bold and lively presence

Bright pinky rings but that ain't about this
Dazzling rings adorning my fingers, although that topic is unrelated to the current discussion

What you bout b****
What are you about, my dear?

Excuse my French emotion in my passion
Please pardon the intensity of my emotions and fervor

But I wear my heart on my sleeve like it's the new fashion
I openly display my emotions, as if it is the latest trend or fashionable choice

What are you asking, if I don't have the answer
What is your inquiry, when I do not possess the solution or response?

It's probably on the web, like I'm a damn tarantula
It is likely available on the internet, as if I am an arachnid searching online

But I know you don't understand
However, I am aware that you lack comprehension

Cause you thought Lil Wayne was Weezy
Because you mistakenly believed that Lil Wayne and Weezy were the same person

But Weezy is Dwayne
Yet, the truth is that Weezy is an alter ego of mine, while my true self is Dwayne

I was watching t.v. the other day right
Not long ago, I was watching television

Got this white guy on there
There was a Caucasian man on the program

Talking about black guys
Engaging in conversation regarding individuals of African descent

Talking about how young black guys are targeted
Discussing the issue of young black men being singled out and victimized

Targeted by who? America
By whom do they get targeted? The very nation they reside in, America

You see one in every hundred Americans are locked up
An alarming statistic reveals that a significant portion of the American population is incarcerated

One in every nine black Americans are locked up
Even more disconcerting, one out of every nine black individuals in America is imprisoned

And see what the white guy was trying to stress was that
The essence of the white gentleman's point was to emphasize

The money we spend on sending a mothaf***a' to jail
The substantial funds allocated towards imprisoning individuals

A young mothaf***a' to jail
Especially a youthful individual being sent to confinement

Would be less to send his or her young a** to college
It would require fewer financial resources to provide education for their children

See, and another thing the white guy was stressing was that
Furthermore, the white gentleman emphasized

Our jails are populated with drug dealers
Correctional facilities primarily house individuals involved in the illicit drug trade

You know crack cocaine stuff like that
Specifically referring to the distribution of crack cocaine and related substances

Meaning due to the laws we have on crack cocaine and regular cocaine
This implies that the existing legislation differentiates between punishments for crack cocaine versus regular cocaine

Police are only, I don't want to say only right, but s***
Law enforcement officers tend to focus predominantly, although not exclusively, on these cases

Only logic by riding around in the hood all day
The reasoning behind their constant presence in disadvantaged neighborhoods

And not in the suburbs
Rather than patrolling affluent suburban areas

Because crack cocaine is mostly found in the hood
Their concentration in impoverished neighborhoods is due to the higher prevalence of crack cocaine

And you know the other thing is mostly found in you know where I'm going
Similarly, the opposite drug can predominantly be found in a different location

But why bring a mothaf***a' to jail if it's not gon' stand up in court
Why subject someone to imprisonment if the evidence will not hold up during legal proceedings?

Cause this drug ain't that drug
Since one type of drug differs from the other

You know level 3, level 4 drug, s*** like that
Referring to the classification of drugs as level 3 or 4, and so on

I guess it's all a misunderstanding
Suppose it boils down to a misinterpretation or miscommunication

I sit back and think, you know us young mothaf***as you know that 1 in 9
Reflecting on the circumstances surrounding young individuals like ourselves, considering the statistic of 1 in 9

We probably only selling the crack cocaine because we in the hood
It is likely that our involvement in distributing crack cocaine stems from residing in impoverished neighborhoods

And it's not like in the suburbs, we don't have what you have
Residents of disadvantaged areas lack the same opportunities and resources available in affluent suburbs

Why? I really don't wanna know the answer
To be honest, I have no desire to discover the underlying reasons

I guess we just misunderstood huh
Perhaps we are simply victims of misunderstanding, wouldn't you agree?

You know we don't have room in the jail now for the real mothaf***as
It seems there is currently insufficient space in prisons for the truly dangerous individuals

The real criminals
I am referring to genuine offenders of the law

Sex offenders, rapists, serial killers
Individuals guilty of sexual offenses, rape, and serial killings

Don't get scared, don't get scared
Do not become frightened, remain calm

I know you saw one them sex offenders papers
I am aware that you have come across the documentation regarding a sex offender

Don't trip he live right on the end of yo block
Do not worry, as he resides at the very end of your block

Mhm yea, that n**** live right down the street from you
Indeed, that individual resides in close proximity to your own residence

Sex offender on the level three drug
This sex offender has committed a crime categorized as a level three offense

Convicted ex-con
Having been previously convicted, this person is an ex-convict

Yea check em out
You should perform a background check on him

Watch you got, you got a daughter, son, what you got?
Be cautious, do you have a daughter or son? What is your situation?

Ha ha yea, you know what
Ha ha yes, do you know what?

That's the good weed
That individual possesses high-quality marijuana

You know what, I have a f***ing daughter
Actually, I have a daughter

You understand me and why the f*** would you bring my neighbor to jail
Do you comprehend my concern? And why would you imprison my neighbor?

Just because the reason why he live next door to me
Simply because he resides in close proximity to my own home

Ain't the reason I live next door to him
However, there is no correlation between that fact and my choice to live nearby

Meaning he didn't rap his way to my f***ing neighborhood
Implying that he did not achieve residency through his musical abilities

He sold crack cocaine to get to my neighborhood
Instead, he resorted to selling crack cocaine to reach this particular community

You move him out bring him to jail for life
You remove him from our neighborhood and condemn him to a lifetime of imprisonment

And then you move in with a sex offender
Ironically, you permit a sex offender to reside in the vacated space

Ha ha, hey give me a paper
Ha ha, pass me a newspaper or document

Ha ha is that a misunderstanding because I didn't understand it
Ha ha, that seems to be a miscommunication since I did not comprehend the situation

Another thing, let me take my glasses off
Additionally, allow me to remove my glasses momentarily

Cause I wanna see the reaction on their faces when I say this
I desire to observe their expressions upon hearing what I am about to pronounce

Ha ha, this is why I don't respect you and nobody like ya
Ha ha, this illustrates the precise reason why I hold no respect for you and individuals of your kind

See you're the type that gets off on getting on other people
You derive pleasure from belittling and criticizing others

That's not good
Such behavior is not commendable

No homo
Used to clarify that the previous statement is not meant to be interpreted as homosexual in nature

Rather un-human, I should say
To be more precise, it can be deemed inhumane

I mean giving the fact that humanity were a good humanity
Considering the notion that humans should possess positive qualities

Rather to me is helping one another
In my opinion, true humanity entails aiding and supporting each other

No matter your color or race
Irrespective of an individual's skin color or ethnic background

But this guy and people like him
However, individuals such as him

They'd rather speculate before they informate
They prefer to engage in speculation without seeking proper information

If that's a word, ha ha ha you know spec before check
Assuming the term 'informate' does exist, ha ha ha, it signifies prioritizing speculation over verification

Anyways meaning id much rather
In any case, what I would prefer is

You talk to me first and see if you can lend an opinion before you link one
Engage in conversation with me initially, and then determine if you can contribute your opinion before making assumptions

Just my thought of good humanity
In my perspective, this embodies the ideals of a virtuous humanity

Mr. Sharpton, hold on I ain't finished with you man
Mr. Sharpton, please wait, as I have not yet concluded my address to you

Na f*** that s*** hm hold on, um
Actually, forget it, hold on, um

Mr. sharp ton and anyone like you, you don't know me
Mr. Sharpton and individuals resembling you, you possess no understanding of who I truly am

So if your not going to try to then what you say or think about me
If you are unwilling to make an effort to comprehend me, then your opinions and thoughts regarding me hold no value

Are what ever I do is totally Casper the friendly ghost
They become insignificant, similar to the presence of Casper the friendly ghost

To me and it doesn't make you a good person
These opinions of yours do not indicate moral goodness on your part

To criticize before you improvise
Engaging in criticism prior to attempting to understand

Doesn't necessarily make you a bad person either
However, it does not automatically categorize you as a bad person either

But the characteristics for heavenly into bads way
Nonetheless, these traits tend to lean more towards negative qualities

Ha ha but since I am human I am good and bad
Ha ha, as a human being, I possess a combination of both positive and negative attributes

As well but I try my hardest to stay good
Nevertheless, I exert significant effort in striving to maintain goodness

Threes other things I do and say may be bad or just not to good
Admittedly, there are instances when my actions or words may be undesirable or subpar

But I do try, so with that said I don't vote you
However, I do make an attempt to improve. Therefore, I do not endorse or support you

I mean your only human, good or bad
After all, you are a mere mortal, capable of both goodness and wickedness

But I also don't respect you and I don't care if that's good or bad
However, I do not hold any respect for you, and I am indifferent to whether that is considered commendable or unfavorable

You see you are no M-L-K you are no Jesse Jackson
Allow me to clarify that you possess neither the stature of Martin Luther King Jr. nor Jesse Jackson

You are nobody, to me, your just another don king
In my eyes, you hold no significance, merely resembling the irrelevant figure of Don King

With a perm, ha ha just a little more political
Perhaps slightly more politically involved, indicated by your permed hairstyle

And that just means you're a little un-human
This characteristic implies that you possess slightly inhumane qualities

Then use humans, and now let me be human and say
Superior to common humans, and now allow me to express my humanity and proclaim

F*** Al Sharpton and anyone like him
I strongly condemn Al Sharpton and individuals of his ilk

F*** if you understand me
I do not care whether you comprehend my sentiments

I love being misunderstood
In fact, I derive pleasure from the state of being misunderstood

Ha ha why?
Ha ha, you may wonder why?

Cause I live in the suburbs
Because I currently reside in affluent suburban areas

But I come from the hood
However, my origins trace back to the disadvantaged neighborhoods

Bring the hook in
Resume the chorus section
