You see me on the street
There is no need to explain
I'm not what you think I am
I'm just like you, but with tattoos
'Cause I wear my heart on my sleeve
My appearance may be deceiving
It doesn't matter what you think
Because the truth is in me
This is the life I chose, this is the only thing I know
So don't pass judgment on me
The places that I've been forever written on my skin
So don't pass judgment on me
You see me walking down the street
And you grab your kids and cross the other side
Looking me like I'm a fucking criminal
A degenerate, a lowlife, you got me all wrong
'Cause I wear my heart on my sleeve
My appearance may be deceiving
It doesn't matter what you think
Because the truth is in me
This is the life I chose, this is the only thing I know
So don't pass judgment on me
The places that I've been forever written on my skin
So don't pass judgment on me
You know you can't judge a book by it's cover
You know you got me all wrong
And I know my appearance it may be deceiving but I feel, I feel it all
So don't pass judgment on me
This is the life I chose, this is the only thing I know
So don't pass judgment on me
The places that I've been forever written on my skin
So don't pass judgment on me
It doesn't matter what you think
Because the truth is in me
No matter how bumped out you're on life
And how disconnected you feel from everything
Music pulls you right back up and keep you positive
