You don't even know me You say that I'm not living right You don't understand me So why do you judge my life? I don't ask for nothing I'm always holding my own Every time I turn around, there's something People talking 'bout what they don't know And when I try to move on up They're always pullin' me down I'm tired and I had enough It's my life, and I'm living it now You don't even know me You say that I'm not living right You don't understand me So why do you judge my life? I always wonder why people try to hurt me No happiness in their own lives So they act out all their jealousy Who are you to say that I'm living wrong? Always telling me what to do I decided that I gotta be strong What makes you think that I needed you? You don't know me You don't even know me You say that I'm not livin' right You don't understand me So why do you judge my life You don't even know me You say that I'm not living right You don't understand me So why do you judge my life? Who are you? You say I'm not livin' right Anything I try to do You haven't walked in my shoes I'm gonna move on It's my life, it's my life It's my life, it's my life It's my life, it's my life Ah You don't even know me You say that I'm not living right You don't understand me So why do you judge my life? You don't even know me You say that I'm not living right You don't understand me So why do you judge my life? You don't even know me
