Judge Not

Bob Marley · Other Songs - Bob Marley

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 judgement-Woah oh oh!

The boat 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 judgement-Woah oh oh!

The boat of life is rocking
And you may stumble too

So while you talk about me
Someone else is judging you (Repeat 4x)
