Don’t Judge Me
Chris Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna go there
We should never go there
Damn, why you wanna go there?
I guess I gotta go there

You're hearing rumors about me and you can't stomach the thought
Of someone touching my body when you're so close to my heart
I won't deny what they saying because most of it is true
But it was all before I fell for you, so please, babe

So please don't judge me and I won't judge you
'Cause it could get ugly before it gets beautiful
Please don't judge me and I won't judge you
And if you love me, then let it be beautiful

(Oh)
Let it be beautiful (oh)
Let it be beautiful (oh)
Let it be beautiful (oh)
Let it be beautiful

Everything I say right now is gonna be used in another fight
And I've been through this so many times
Can we change the subject?
You gonna start asking me questions like
"Was she attractive? Was she an actress?"
Baby, the fact is

You're hearing rumors about me and saw some pictures online
Saying they got you so angry, making you wish you were blind
Before we start talking crazy, saying some things we'll regret
Can we just slow it down and press reset? (Damn)
You're beautiful
(So baby)

So please don't judge me and I won't judge you
'Cause it could get ugly before it gets beautiful
Please don't judge me and I won't judge you
And if you love me, then let it be beautiful

Just let the past, just be the past
And focused on things that are gonna make us laugh
Take me as I am (take me as I am)
Not who I was (not who I was)
I'll promise I'll be the one that you can trust
So please

So please don't judge me (don't judge me)
And I won't judge you (and I won't 'cause)
'Cause it could get ugly before it gets beautiful
So please don't judge me (so please don't)
And I won't judge you (no, I won't)
And if you love me (if you love me)
Then let it be beautiful, babe (oh)

Let it be beautiful (ooh)
Let it be beautiful (let it)
Let it be, oh
Let it be beautiful, ayy
Let it be beautiful
Yeah, yeah, yeah





I don't wanna go there, baby (baby, yeah)
We should never go there (oh)

“Angel Numbers” is literally just a sequel to “Don’t Judge Me”,

“No Guidance” was just an outro to “Don’t Judge Me” and an intro to “Angel Numbers”

He been telling his story in sequence and honesty for years.

I’m back in 2024 after actually hearing him rather than just listening for 13 years.

I can’t agree with every aspect of this man but he has a gift and I applause him.

🙏🏽🙏🏽🥵
