Don't Judge Lyrics


You see him on the streets
He's always there
No one has ever heard him speak
Although he'll stare
Soon very soon he? in his mouth
And you'll be surprised of the words that come outHe might be a father that you turned your back on
Or your brother that haven't seen in so longYou see him on the streets whith rats for clothes, how did he end up in the streets no one knows where he is from or what is about
But you'd be surprised if? in his mouthHe might be a prophet, that you read of in book
or your savior, despite him clothesSo don't you ever jump to judge
don't you ever jump to judgeLooks may be deceiving, but every man's got their meaningI can tell you, you might end up in he's shoes
On the corner singing the bluesdon't you ever jump to judge, look beyond the cover of before you jump to judgeLooks may be deceiving, but every man's got their meaningHe might be a father that you turned your back on
Or your brother that your finger's point onThe woman in the street that you pass by, is somebody's mother, somebody's wife
I can't blind my eyes, I'm crying inside
People criticize who stereotypeMight be a mother that you turned your back on
Or your sister that your finger's point onWe are the people of the streets, we all are one
No matter how you sit, a one nation
And soon very soon, we've got to be strong
And look beyond this mass confusionIt might be creation that you turned your back on

Or your heaven?
So don't you ever jump to judge, look beyond the cover before you jump to judge
Looks may be deceiving, but every man's got their meaning
So don't you ever jump to judge, look beyond the cover before you jump to judge
Looks may be deceiving, but every man's got their meaning.

Tarrus Riley born Omar Riley in Bronx, New York, is a promising reggae singer and songwriter. His early years were spent in music studios and traveling the world with his dad. He picked up something special along the way. He is a songwriter of uncommon intelligence, breadth with a deft touch. His emotional and spiritual IQ matches his heartfelt sincerity. As a singer, his vocal style is reassuring. It conveys his every mood, concern and context eloquently. His songwriting is bold, yet definitive, passionate and authentic, without being strident or overly militant. Except for the same surname, Tarrus, while clearly not possessing his famous father's voice with its sharp edge, is content musically to create his own legacy.
------------------------------------
Riley is the son of veteran singer Jimmy Riley and nurse Lavern Tatham-Riley. He was born in the Bronx and grew up in South Florida. He began his musical career as a deejay working with Busta Rhymes, taking his birth sign as his stage name at his mother's suggestion (the spelling later changed from Taurus to Tarrus), and recorded his first singles for his father's Love & Promotion label. He was guided in his early career by Dean Fraser, who also performs in his band and produces much of Riley's work.
Riley has released three albums, Challenges (2004), Parables (2006), and Contagious (2009). Contagious features guest appearances from Damian Marley, Vybz Kartel, Etana, Konshens, Demarco and Duane Stephenson. His commercial breakthrough came in 2006 with the Parables album and the Jamaican number one single "She's Royal".

Riley was awarded the Reggae Runnins Caribbean Heritage Award at the 2009 HOT 105 FM Caribbean-American Heritage Awards. He was nominated in the Best Reggae category of the 2009 MOBO Awards.
