Don't Judge Me

[Verse 1]

This shit ain't nothin' like it used to be

I just found out that my friends and family be usin' me

Medicine cabinet full of pills and I'm abusin' it (yeah I'm abusin')

Fuck lookin' for Waldo 'cause I'm losing me

I used to look up and see stars, now when I look up it's hard

'Cause when I look up I be down on my knees and I'm talkin' to God

My mama ain't say it was easy but she never said it was hard though

Remember her slamming that car door

How you fucked me up, only God know

And now a young nigga hardcore, walkin' this dark road

I should've bought some more leashes 'cause all of my dogs gone

The shit that I'm learning, you could never teach it, not even on smart phones

I must've been under some type of hypnosis 'cause now when I look back I'm far gone

[Chorus]

I hold my head up to keep tears from fallin'

And they just roll down the side of my cheek

What you know 'bout going to Plato's Closet?

Sellin' clothes, tryna buy somethin' to eat

('Cause you hungry and your children hungry)

Got a bright future but that shit ain't promised

When any day you can die in the streets

So don't judge me, don't judge me

Until you lay your head where I sleep, yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 2]

I can't even lie, it hurt me

I became another person

Remember when I had a purpose

Now I'm lookin' for a purpose

Lurkin', and I'm poppin' them percs

Yeah that cup dirty, cup ice like a Slurpee, Slurppe

When I was down niggas curved me

Made me take off the jersey

When the cost to love you wasn't worth it

But I forgive you, no one's perfect

Had a nigga feelin' worthless, whoa

Watch a nigga thumb through it

Problems, I was goin' through 'em

Partner beggin' me to rob him and I'm beggin' him not to do it

A hundred niggas all around you but you feel like the only one that's in the room

Like you got a voice but you can't speak, yeah

You wake up to sunlight shining all on you but you just ready for the moon

Ready to fall asleep, yeah yeah

[Chorus]

I hold my head up to keep tears from fallin'

And they just roll down the side of my cheek

What you know 'bout going to Plato's Closet?

Sellin' clothes, tryna buy somethin' to eat

('Cause you hungry and your children hungry)

Got a bright future but that shit ain't promised

When any day you can die in the streets

So don't judge me, don't judge me

Until you lay your head where I sleep, yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Outro]

The moon and sun is fascinating to my eyes

If the sun is shining, moon, and all the stars up in the sky

I'm seeing more than the average human eye

In the dark is where I live, lord let me shine, yeah
