Judge Not by Bob Marley And The Wailers
Don't you look at me so smug
And say I'm going bad.
Who are you to judge me
And the life that I live?
I know that I'm not perfect
And that I don't claim to be.
So before you point your fingers,
Be sure your hands are clean.
Judge not
Before you judge yourself.
Judge not
If you're not ready for judgment.
Woah oh oh!
The road of life is rocking
And you may stumble too.
So while you talk about me,
someone else is judging you.
Judge not
Before you judge yourself.
Judge not
If you're not ready for judgment.
Woah oh oh!
The road of life is rocking
And you may stumble too.
So while you talk about me
Someone else is judging you...
