Don't Judge Me
Kierra Sheard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Dis dat new Kiki exclusive y′all
Hot, fire, let's go!)

I did it all for the first time
Made a mistake but I earned mine

I broke it on a one time
But I did it all my way
Fixed it on a front line
I′m over the pain

If I'm dancing when I wanna
(Please don't judge me)
If I′m smiling when I′m under
(Please don't judge me)
I just run through the fire
Please don′t judge me
(Please don't judge me)
I′m just walking the wire
Please don't judge me
(Please don′t judge me)

I don't know if you have noticed
I'm doing me and I love it
I just run through the fire
Please don′t judge me
(Please don′t judge me)
If you don't give me your hand now
I′ll do it all by myself then
I just run through the fire
Please don't judge me
(Please don′t judge me)

(Help me sing now)
Lala, lalala (oh)
Lala, lala
(Help me sing now)
Lala, lalala (oh)
Please don't judge me
(Help me sing now)
Lala, lalala (oh)
Lala, lala
(Help me sing now)
Lala, lalala (oh)
Please don′t judge me

Please don't judge me by the clothes I wear
Please don't judge me by the songs I sing
Please don′t judge me by the way that I′m dancing
You know God the only one can judge me
You know that I'm feeling so free
I be chilling, I′m just doing me
We turned up and we killing this beat
Go ahead and get on your feet

If I'm dancing when I wanna
(Please don′t judge me)
If I'm smiling when I′m under
(Please don't judge me)
I just run through the fire
Please don't judge me
(Please don′t judge me)
I′m just walking the wire
Please don't judge me
(Please don′t judge me)

I don't know if you have noticed
I′m doing me and I love it
I just run through the fire
Please don't judge me
(Please don′t judge me)
If you don't give me your hand now
I'll do it all by myself then
I just run through the fire
Please don′t judge me
(Please don′t judge me)

(Help me sing now)
Lala, lalala (help me sing now) (oh)
Lala, lala
(Help me sing now)
Lala, lalala (oh)
(Help me sing right now)
Please don't judge me

I did it all for the first time
I tried something new and made a mistake


Made a mistake but I earned mine
I learned from my mistake and grew from it


I broke it on a one time
I messed up once


But I did it all my way
I did it according to my own beliefs and values


Fixed it on a front line
I faced my problems head on and worked to resolve them


I'm over the pain
I've moved on from the hurt and pain of my mistake


Please don't judge me
I'm asking for understanding and acceptance


If you don't give me your hand now
If you don't support me now


I'll do it all by myself then
I'll do it on my own without your support


Please don't judge me by the clothes I wear
Please don't judge me based on my appearance


Please don't judge me by the songs I sing
Please don't judge me based on my artistic expression


Please don't judge me by the way that I'm dancing
Please don't judge me based on how I express myself physically


You know God the only one can judge me
Only God has the ultimate right to judge me


I be chilling, I'm just doing me
I'm relaxed and being true to myself


We turned up and we killing this beat
We're enjoying ourselves and doing well

Beautiful....I need more Christian songs like this in my life

@Pumpkin_Ratatata

a1000facesWorldWide same 😌

@ShmaAdonaiEhad

This is not Christian music.

@a1000facesWorldWide

Oh ok, what genre of music does it fall under?

@ShmaAdonaiEhad

@a1000facesWorldWide Yes, Well I am not a music expert but to me it sounds like regular secular pop/funk music.I would not call this gospel or christian as it lacks the spiritual foundation and doctrine. I hope that clarifies it.

she's just being herself in that video, sooo authentic

@bolongiekofo1920

If "being myself" means looking like everything but a consecrated and holy disciple of Christ in front of the world then I freely turn my back on "authenticity". I prefer being led by the Holy Spirit and being careful with how I behave in front of those I'm supposed to preach the Holy kingdom of God to rather than acting unwisely and not leading by example. And I say this humbly. I love sister Kierra, but this is not right. I prayed for her after seeing this and I will again. May God help us....me first.

@alenawildner

bolongi ekofo you do know that authenticity depends on the person and is individual right? or would you rather have her lying and pretending to be religious ?

@deshawngoncalves6734

bolongi ekofo you a fool 🤦🏾‍♂️
