lyrics

It's like they gon judge you anyway
So you might as well
Push forward toward you dreams and shine regardless
I'm on a one way ticket
In relentless pursuit of what I love and
What I believe in
So don't judge me
Yeah

Following your dreams
Will leave you broke
Less time for them n***as
Here with this pen and pad, I smoke
Friday nights and saturday nights off
I'm here at home
Cause being successful
Is a road most travelled alone
Everybody throwing stones
Remember when I was a youngin
Careless and carefree
The city lights above him
Thinking
Damn is there really a place
For this brother
No style, his skin was eczema covered
Women swerved him, on the curb
He felt accepted
Every word was special and complex
And how he built his schemes
And what came next
Was the respect
Regardless of his appearance
Instead of the scars
Hear the lyrics
Vividly see the beauty
In his spirit
Don't Judge

Don't judge me
Just love me
Don't judge me

Yeah
Following your dreams
Can leave you lonely
The people you have around you
Turned out phoney
Most of the homies growing up
Going different directions
You just see the light
But your tunnel longer
Give them your blessings
Women leave cause
You not fully invested
Don't mean there ain't no interest
This where you lay your intellect
Problems becoming bothersome
Arguing takes a lot of effort
Because of this talent
Worried about girls
You never slept with
Don't judge

It's all love
You know it's all love though
Even though you don't see
What I see
All them late nights
Putting in work
Just off of belief in something greater
The sacrifices
It's all worth it
You know there's forces in the world
Trying to keep a brother down
It's like a brother gotta push back
Twice as hard, you know?
But look, no we up
Please excuse me
If I don't have the time to say hello
Or listen to y'all suggestions
Y'all should've just loved a n***a from the start
