[02:23.53]what are you asking, if i don't have the answer

[02:35.27]i'm just a soul whose intentions are good
[02:41.85]O lord please don't let me be misunderstood
[02:52.70]I was watching t.v. the other day right
[02:56.18]got this white guy up there talking about black guys
[03:01.61]talking about how young black guys are targeted
[03:08.77]targeted by who? america
[03:14.07]you see one in every 100 americans are locked up
[03:19.67]one in every 9 black americans are locked up
[03:24.92]and see what the white guy was trying to stress was that
[03:31.42]
[03:38.38]would be less to send his or her young ass to college
[03:46.50]see, and another thing the white guy was stressing was that
[03:50.95]our jails are populated with drug dealers, you know crack/cocaine stuff like that
[04:00.01]meaning due to the laws we have on crack/cocaine and regular cocaine
[04:06.34]police are only, i don't want to say only right, but shit
[04:12.96]only logic by riding around in the hood all day
[04:18.31]and not in the suburbs
[04:20.21]because crack cocaine is mostly found in the hood
[04:25.03]and you know the other thing is mostly found in you know where i'm going
[04:32.25]
[04:37.08]cuz this drug aint that drug, you know level 3, level 4 drug, shit like that
[04:44.94]i guess it's all a misunderstanding
[04:48.41]
[04:54.43]we probably only selling the crack cocaine because we in the hood
[05:00.54]and it's not like in the suburbs, we don't have what you have
[05:04.14]why? i really don't wanna know the answer
[05:12.02]i guess we just misunderstood hunh
[05:21.01]
[05:32.69]don't get scared, don't get scared
[05:34.75]I know you saw one them sex offenders papers
[05:37.60]don’t trip he live right on the end of yo block,
[05:40.69]Mhm yea, that nigga live right down the street from you,
[05:45.16]sex offender on the level 3 drug,
[05:47.92]convicted ex-con
[05:50.33]yea check em out
[05:51.91]watch you got, you got a daughter, son , what you got.?
[05:55.98]hahaa yea, you know what

[06:03.72]
[06:13.23]jus because the reason why he live next door to me, ain’t the reason why I live next door to him
[06:21.02]
[06:25.76]he sold crack cocaine to get to my neighborhood
[06:29.94]you move him out bring him to jail for life
[06:33.69]and then you move in with a sex offender
[06:36.92]ahaha, hey give me a paper,
[06:39.70]ahaha is that a misunderstanding? because I didn’t understand it
[06:45.50]another thing, let me take my glasses off
[06:49.38]cause I wanna see the reaction on their faces when I say this
[06:54.79]uhh Mr Al Sharpton, this is why I don’t respect you and nobody like ya
[07:05.17]see you’re the type that gets off on getting on other people
[07:13.89]that’s not good
[07:15.06]no homo,
[07:16.56]rather unhuman, I should say
[07:18.96]I mean giving the fact that humanity were a good humanity
[07:22.72]rather to me is helping one another
[07:25.43]no matter your color or race
[07:27.55]but this guy and people like him, they’d rather speculate before they informate
[07:33.83]if that’s a word, ha-haahha you know spec before check
[07:39.84]anyways meaning id much rather
[07:43.19]you talk to me first and see if you can lend an opinion before you link one
[07:46.50]just my thought of good humanity, Mr. Sharpton, hold on I aint finished with you man
[07:57.01]
[08:02.41]Mr. sharpton and anyone like you, you don’t know me
[08:06.97]so if your not going to try to then what you say or think about me
[08:12.33]are what ever I do is totally Casper the friendly ghost,
[08:16.13]to me, and it doesn’t make you a good person to criticize before you improvise
[08:24.08]doesn’t necessarily make you a bad person either but the characteristics fall heavily into bads way,
[08:28.68]ahah but since I am human I am good and bad, as well but I try my hardest to stay good
[08:37.68]some of the things I do and say may be bad or just not to good
[08:43.32]but I do try, so with that said I don’t fault you, I mean your only human, good or bad
[08:52.05]but I also don’t respect you and I don’t care if that’s good or bad
[08:57.00]you see you are no MLK you are no Jesse Jackson, you are nobody, to me, your just another don king,
[09:07.74]with a perm, hahah just a little more political, and that just means you’re a little unhuman
[09:16.97]
[09:28.08]I love being misunderstood
[09:30.43]haha why?,
[09:32.03]cause I live in the suburbs
[09:33.22]but I come from the hood
[09:34.61]Bring the hook in.
[09:36.48]But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
[09:42.54]O lord please don't let me be misunderstood.
