Don't Judge Me

Don't judge me

Don't judge me

I know that s**t fuckery

I was broke and I loved myself

Nobody ain't love me

Don't judge me, take care of me

Don't judge me, take care of my heart

Don't judge me, be there for me

Don't judge me, just hold me in your arms

Don't judge me, take care of me

Hold me in your arms

Don't judge me, be there for me

Hold me in your arms, yeah

(Don't judge me)

Hold me in your arms, say we'll make it through (don't judge me)

I got a precious heart open for you (I know that s**t fuckery)

Say why you're breakin' for me every day (didn't love me)

I'll send the precious kinda love your way

Don't judge me

Don't judge me (I know that s**t fuckery)

Judge me (no one judge me)

I'll send the precious love I have your way

You know bein' black, bein' from the hood and 17 is powerless

The only change is when you get yourself a heater

I don't know why me and them oppers started beefin'

Do I blame me, or the Willie Lynch fury?

Born in the gutter, know well my choice to be here

Funny how both my parents done the most to be here

We can walk free, but are we really walkin' free here?

How can this be home when I feel I wanna flee here?

I can't trust the police force and I can't trust the media

Learned more about my people from the streets than from my teachers

There's been a million speeches

No justice, no peace, 'cause we in pieces

Officer, am I allowed to breathe here?

I didn't choose to be me, so why discriminate me?

Paranoia got the gang'nem rolling with it lately

Feelin' like they're gonna run up

In my crib and take me (told me turn')

So rest in peace Mark, you're forever in our prayers

No more betrayal, we need permanent changes

So we can move forward without turnin' back pages

No more feelin' like strangers in this world that we live in

Uh, Lord, forgive them (turn, turn, turn, turn, turn)

No more betrayal, we need permanent changes

So we can move forward without turnin' back pages (ah)

Let them all know that it's wrong being racist

Help us feel proud when we look at our faces (don't judge me)

I'll send the precious kinda love your way (don't judge me)

I'll send the precious kinda love your way (I know that s**t fuckery)

I'll send the precious kinda love your way (don't judge me)

I'll send the precious kinda love your way

I used to pray for a change until I had dirty knees

Don't judge me

Don't judge me
