Don't Judge Me

Don't judge me
Don't judge me
I know that shit 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 shit 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 shit 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 shit 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
