You throw shade when I walk by,

You throw shade when I walk by, Got that smirk in your eye, Saying I should be ashamed Of the way my head turns, can’t deny. You act like you’re above it all, Like you never glance or fall, But I see your double take When confidence fills the hall. You say, “Man, that’s kinda low,” Like I don’t already know, But we’re both just human hearts With a rhythm and a glow. Don’t judge me for the way I’m wired, Like you’re cut from different cloth. You’re laughing loud, but your eyes are fired, Trying to play it off. We’re both looking when they walk in, So why you acting so surprised? Don’t judge me for being honest When you’re thinking the same inside. You whisper like it’s scandalous, Like I crossed some sacred line, But you nudge me when she passes Sayin’, “Whoa… never mind.” You talk tough with your morals high, Like desire’s a crime, But you freeze when confidence moves In perfect time. You can roll your eyes at me, Say I’ve got no dignity, But you’re just as curious— Let’s keep it real between you and me. Don’t judge me for the way I’m wired, Like you’re made of different stuff. You act cool, but your glance is tired From trying to hide it up. We’re both human, we both admire, No need for a disguise. Don’t judge me for being honest When you’re thinking the same inside. We can laugh, we can joke, But let’s not pretend we’re saints. It’s a natural reaction, No need for all the complaints. Respect is the rule, no crossing lines, But appreciation’s free— So if you’re gonna point that finger, Remember there’s three back at thee. Don’t judge me for the way I smile When beauty walks on by. You’ve been staring all the while, Don’t even try to lie. We’re just wired to notice, No reason to divide. Don’t judge me for being honest When you’re thinking the same inside. So next time you call me out, Just check your point of view… ’Cause the only thing louder than my honesty Is the truth inside of you.
