Don't judge me
Don't judge me
I know that shit f*ckery
I was broke and I loved myself
Nobody ain't loved 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
Don't judge me
Hold me in your arms say, we'll make it through (Don't judge me)
I've got a precious one above for you (I know that shit f*ckery)
Say that you're praying for me every day (Nobody ain't loved me)
I'll send the precious god above your way
Don't judge me
Don't judge me
I know that shit f*ckery
Judge me
Don't judge me
I'll send the precious god above your way
You know what being black, being 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 op'ers started beefin'
But I blame me or the Willie Lynch theory
Born in the gutter no it weren't my choice to be here
Funny how both my parents done their most to be here
We can walk free, but are we really walking 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
Learn more about my people from the streets than from my teachers
There's been a million speeches
No justice, no peace
But 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, the road up with it lately
Feeling like they're gonna run up in my crib and take me
Rest in peace Mark, you're forever in our prayers
No more betrayal, we need permanent changes
So we can move forward without turning back pages
No more feelin' like strangers in this world that we live in
Lord forgive them
No more betrayal, we need permanent changes
So we can move forward without turning back pages
Let them all know that it's wrong being racist
Help us feel proud when we look at our faces
I'll send the precious god above your way (Don't judge me)
I'll send the precious god above your way (Don't judge me)
I'll send the precious god above your way (Don't judge me, don't judge me)
I'll send the precious god above your way
I used to pray for a change
Until I had dirty knees
Don't judge me
Don't judge me
