Le Peuple De L'Herbe - Judge not lyrics

Can't judge a book by looking at da cover Don't you judge me before you know me brother Some people are evil. We're righteous, Whatever Can't judge a book by looking at da cover Don't you judge me before you know me brother Some people are evil. We're righteous, Whatever Out in the Babylon streets where I walk Most of the people I meet give me bad looks They wanna suss me out, an*lyze me Check out who I am, check out my lifestyle Wanna put me in one of them files All spies eyes on me, they X-ray me Cause they wanna know who I am What I know, what I don't know What I must say, what I can't say But me just tell them I'm a street preacher Preaching to take the youth higher 'Cause your lies are keeping them lower But some don't like it, so they start fighting me, Criticising me, I know they don't know But they gonna judge, again & again Can't judge a book by looking at da cover Don't you judge me before you know me brother Some people are evil. We're righteous, Whatever Can't judge a book by looking at da cover Don't you judge me before you know me brother Some people are evil. We're righteous, Whatever They judge me through the colour of my skin They judge me through my hairstyle They blame me 'cause my clothes are full of holes They fear me 'cause I look dirty & mean, you know what I mean Natty dreadlock walking amongst the living-dead, never afraid Keep up my head even when the fire burns red I don't care about the threats they spread Lion walk, Lion walk Inna dem jungle, urban jungle, face dem, never tremble Can't judge a book by looking at da cover Don't you judge me before you know me brother Some people are evil. We're righteous, Whatever Can't judge a book by looking at da cover Don't you judge me before you know me brother Some people are evil. We're righteous, Whatever Judging me, begrudging me, we have to win Survive the daily drudgery, Evil and sin Merely a man, righteous plan I go about my business the best as I can Deny the darkness. Don't start this again Judging my soul by the colour of skin Rid of this prejudice, we can try Walk my Brother With your head held high They hear me talk, true me talk a humble talk, walk a humble walk Roots man inna the city improve my naturality, yes, humbleness & simplicity That's the truth I'm gonna tell them youth: get rid of the bling & run come sing Edutainment we a bring, run come sing, and don't care what the Babylonians say They wanna see me act their way, can't follow them & go astray Wise & upright, staying on the right line, can't fool my mind, can't drive me blind True, I know myself, got love for myself, peace for the people around Express it through the sound, they can't stop me from blowing the truth I sing to elevate the youth, run come sing, run come sing, it's the real thing Run come sing my song & let them talk They tried me but can't prove me guilty, through they don't know They gonna judge & judge again, they accused me but can't prove me guilty True they don't know, yet me dread & fiercy, never afraid of their judgement Only the Most High could afford to judge me so I tell them: nobody judge From your hearts are not clean, from your hands are not clean
