Only God can judge
Only God can judge
Only God can judge us
Only God, only God, only God, only God, only
Only God can judge us
But ay man I see that speck in your eye
Want me to do something bout it
Don't worry it's not gonna hurt I'm a professional
You see judging others is just part of my nature
Cuz I'll, talk about the spec of dust in your eye when I got a whole plank in mine
You know I'll acknowledge your problems before mine, do I really have that much pride
Jesus said only if we're sinless then we can throw the first stone
So how come before I know someone in my mind I already know if they're
Rich or poor, fake or real, do they even belong here
Man if I could, I'd probably just make them dissa
Whoa, ok I admit my hypocrisy's a problem didn't realize my conceit was so severe
Listen, it's human nature to only notice the negatives
You try your hardest but I'll only notice when you fall
It hurts but its true that my words will stick to you
Like I'm a DH fathead stuck up on your wall, whoa
It's human nature to only notice the negatives
You try your hardest but I'll only notice when you stumble
And instead of helping you up then under my breath I'll mumble
About how great I am then I'll call myself humble man that's a joke
Oh but it gets better, or better yet worse
Cuz I might not even know you but I'll judge without ever saying a word
Most of the things you do that I hate, I do them too
Just gotta give it to God he sees justice through grace and truth
I can't judge you
And you can't judge me
Only God can judge us
Yeah God is our judge
I can't judge you
And you can't judge me
Only God can judge us
Yeah God is our judge
So don't judge me, cuz I know you didn't expect this from me
But if you knew me and how I rep my God you shoulda seen this coming
You can laugh and hate I know I'm surrounded by a bunch of Judge Judy's
But I'm a Saint so I'ma flex on em, Michael Thomas
Not who you used to know unrecognizable bumping that Jesus flow
As simple as I'm here send me I'll go testimony on the move you can watch it grow
And if you think this is fake and it isn't gonna last, you can go ahead and hate, you can go ahead and laugh
But God's gonna get the last laugh and I'll be laughing with him bro
And it's funny, cuz I don't even care what you think of me
While we talk horizontally I'm talking with the one above me
Literally I'm talking vertically, it's called faith cuz I can't see and
It's called grace and that's why I believe
All I hope is when you see me you see him, talking about my savior
Had to stop blaming others, look in the mirror, change my behavior
I've learned to love correction, it only makes me better
So when you address my failures you're doing me a favor
I can't judge you
And you can't judge me
Only God can judge us
Yeah God is our judge
I can't judge you
And you can't judge me
Only God can judge us
Yeah God is our judge
The things we judge each other on, you know, race, money, jobs
It's no coincidence that they were all created by God
We try to judge with our own standard it just doesn't work
So I'ma be second put others first let God determine my worth
How much are we worth? Why don't we ask the grave
Or here's a better idea. Why don't we ask the cross
Cuz we're just at work, doing employee things
But when push comes to shove and death comes to life we listen to the boss
And the lies I tell myself are usually what shape my worth
And it's so easy to strive for approval from this broken world
Nobody wants to be judged, we all wanna be accepted
If I could leave you with one thing then it would be this message, pay attention
We all got dirt, matter fact that's how we were created
Show me the rich and the poor, I'll still see dirt
What's amazing is God took that dirt and he shaped it
And made you and me called us his masterpiece artwork
