_SAMPLES_

The intro voice-over is spoken by the character 'Simion' from the Cartoon Network! show called 'Dexter's Laboratory' (from the episode 'Dial M for Monkey').

The main hook was sampled from the 1979 Carrie Lucas disco song 'Dance With You' (at 2:02 into that song).

The drum track was sampled from the classic 1992 Dutch house track called 'Plastic Dreams' (at 15 seconds into that track) from Dutch producer Jaydee (this is NOT to be confused with the late great hip-hop producer 'J Dilla').

_LYRICS_

Refrain:
You don't even know me,
you say that I'm not livin' 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
Everytime I turn around, there's something,
people talkin' 'bout what they don't know.
And when I try to move on up
they're always pullin' me down.
I'm tired yeah and I had enough.
It's my life and I livin' it now
You don't know-oh-oh-oh

Refrain:
You don't even know me, (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?

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, say that I livin' wrong?
always telling me what to do.
I decide, yeah, I gotta be strong.
What makes you think that I needed you?
You don't know me

Refrain:
You don't even know me, (Ohh, you don't know me)
You say that I'm not livin' right.(You don't understand the way that I feel)
You don't understand me (You can't even see my pain)
so why do you judge my life? (Oohhhhh)
You don't even know me, (You don't even know)
You say that I'm not livin' right. (What I've been going through)
You don't understand me, (Tell me, who are you)
So why do you judge my life? (So why do you judge my life?)

Uuhhhhhhh, ohh
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

AAAaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Refrain:
You don't even know me,
You say that I'm not livin' right. (You don't understand ...)
You don't understand me, so why do you judge my life. (Everything I try to do, ohhhh)
You don't even know me (All you do is talk about...)
You say that I'm not living right (Where I'm going)
You don't understand me (And about my problems, I needed a friend)
You don't even know me...
