I can't walk down the street 'Cause people lookin' at me Like I just robbed the neighborhood circle k Just mindin' my business Tryin' to make a livin' Takin' it day by day Some of the things that I've seen you just wouldn't believe But I always hold my head up with dignity Can't judge the book by the cover 'Cause they don't really even know me, don't know me (Chorus:) They don't know about the things I be goin' through And they don't know about the pain I be feelin' They don't know about the struggles I be pullin' through And I won't let them get the best of me and my soul Excuse me, Lord for fussin' Things I do to keep from cussin' How so many people they bug me Goin' around tryin' to judge me Like why is he wearin' that dress Why is talkin' that mess Why is he so into his African-ness Cause I don't wanna settle for less I know I deserve the best (Chorus) Got a feelin' Said I'm givin' Everything that I've been meanin' Fixin' me Can I go now? Cause what I found Is enough to get me right Fixin' me Good God almighty (I can't walk down the street) Good God almighty (Everybody's lookin' at me) Good God almighty (Tryin' to steal my dignity yea) Good God almighty (They don't know what I feel) Good God almighty (Tryin' to make a livin') Good God almighty (Takin' it day by day) Good God almighty (Tryin' to find my own way) Good God almighty (Tryin' to have a good time) Good God almighty (Tryin' to have a mighty mighty mighty good time yea oh) Good God almighty (Take away my pain) Good God almighty Good God, Good God (x2) Good Lord, Good Lord Walk it off, walk it off now Gotta walk it off, walk it off now Walk it off, walk it off right now Gonna find a good time Take the trouble and pain off our mind tonight Lemme hear one time, Lemme hear one time
