Judge me

Låttext

JUDGE ME Dark piano • Soft guitar • Slow pain beat • Emotional vocals [Intro — Soft, Raspy Singing] Ohhh-ohhh… Yeahhh… Everybody got a story ’bout the man I used to be… But nobody know the hell I had to walk through just to breathe… Oh, no… Why they judging me? [Chorus — Melodic, Heartbreaking] They keep judging me, but they don’t know what I’ve been through, Pointing fingers at my scars like they ain’t never had wounds They see the worst that’s in my past, but never ask what made me do it, I’m just tryna find myself, but everybody got a judgment. They don’t know about them nights I cried alone inside my room, Or the prayers I sent to Heaven when I thought my days were through They keep looking at my flaws like that’s all I’m ever gon’ be, If You knew what I survived, would you still look down on me? Ohhh, would you still look down on me? If you felt this pain, would you still be judging me? [Verse 1 — Storytelling, Tight Rhymes] They remember every wrong I did, forget the times I tried, Keep a record of my failures, never count the tears I cried They can see the dirt upon my shoes, don’t know the roads I walked, They can hear the way I speak, but never listen when I talk. I was fighting with my demons, they called it bad behavior, I was searching for some peace, they called me ungrateful Had a heart that needed healing, I was treated like a stranger, Now they wonder why I’m distant, like they never changed my nature. Funny how they judge the book without reading every page, See a man who’s full of anger, never ask about his pain They want sunshine from a soul that’s been surviving in the rain, Then get mad when all that suffering starts showing on his face. I ain’t saying I’m innocent, I know I made mistakes, I got bridges I burned down, got some words I can’t erase But repentance means I’m changing, not pretending I’m okay, You can’t keep me in my past when I’m fighting for today. [Pre-Chorus — Voice Starting to Crack] Ohhh, tell me, what am I supposed to do? When I can’t even make mistakes without them changing how they view me I’m a human, I got scars, I got a heart that’s been abused, Why they treat me like a monster when I’m tryna make it through? [Chorus — Bigger Vocals, Background Harmonies] They keep judging me, but they don’t know what I’ve been through, Pointing fingers at my scars like they ain’t never had wounds They see the worst that’s in my past, but never ask what made me do it, I’m just tryna find myself, but everybody got a judgment. They don’t know about them nights I cried alone inside my room, Or the prayers I sent to Heaven when I thought my days were through They keep looking at my flaws like that’s all I’m ever gon’ be, If You knew what I survived, would you still look down on me? Ohhh, would you still look down on me? If you felt this pain, would you still be judging me? [Verse 2 — Deeper Pain, More Punchlines] My reputation got a funeral, they buried me alive, Now I’m tryna build a future with my name they left behind They keep throwing stones at windows, never checking what’s inside, It’s a mansion full of memories with a broken man inside. They put my life up on trial, made assumptions into facts, Gave me years for my mistakes, never gave me grace to change They keep holding up my past like a picture in a frame, While I’m somewhere in the present tryna wash away the shame. I done learned that being sorry don’t erase what you put people through, So I take accountability for things I shouldn’t do But if growth is what I’m showing, why you stuck on what I used to be? You want the old me to disappear, but won’t let the new me breathe. And that hurt different when the judgment come from your own blood, When the ones who say they love you make you feel you ain’t enough I was looking for a hand, they gave opinions and a shrug, Now I’m scared to show my weakness, I don’t know who I can trust. [Bridge — Piano Only, Almost Crying] God, You know my heart… You know the things I hide… You know how many times I had to fight to stay alive… I’m not asking them to love me… I’m not asking them to agree… I just wish they’d see a human When they look at me… I got things that I regret… I got wounds that never healed… I’m still learning how to live With everything I feel… Ohhh, Lord, I’m trying… I swear I’m trying… Why they only see my failures When I’m fighting to survive? [Final Chorus — Powerful, Raspy High Notes] Keep on judging me, you don’t know what I’ve been through, You ain’t felt the nights I fought the things I never told you You see a man who’s made mistakes, but you don’t see what he’s been doing, I’ve been tryna save my soul while everybody’s busy judging. I ain’t perfect, I got flaws, but I got feelings underneath, There’s a person in this body that just wants a little peace You can hold me to my past, but it don’t define all I’ll be, I’m more than all the things I’ve done, I’m still becoming me. Ohhh, I’m still becoming me… After everything,
