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 know me (you don't even know me)
(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 (ooh you don't 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
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?
Everything I try to do
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?
