I don¡Çt ask for nothing I¡Çm always holding my own Every time I turn around¡¢ there¡Çs something People talking ¡Çbout what they don¡Çt know And when I try to move on up They¡Çre always pullin¡Ç me down I¡Çm tired and I¡Çve had enough It¡Çs my life¡¢ and i¡Çm living it now
You don¡Çt even know me (ohh¡¢ you dont know me) You say that I¡Çm not livin¡Ç right (you don¡Çt understand the way that I feel) You don¡Çt understand me (you can¡Çt even see my pain) So why do you judge my life (oohhh you don¡Çt know)
