People can be so judgemental in this day and age!  They don't even know you, but they form their own opinions about you regardless if they are true or not!  What do they know though?  Everyone should look after their own backyard, and not care about what anyone else thinks about them!  It took me years to get to this point in my life, and for this I am so grateful!  Do not give a flying fig, and get on with what you like to do with your time!  Verses 1 and 2 are based on actual events, while the third verse is offering adivce to others who may be struggling with judgement from those they may or may not know.  I started off my song with no rhyming structure, but then I introduced one in Verses 2 and 3.  I suppose this is different to how I usually write, which fits in with the guideline rather nicely I feel.  My submission's chord progression is based on the song "All Rise" by British boy band Blue.  


CHORUS
Don't judge me and
I won't judge you
There is no need for that

Does it make you feel good
To make others feel bad
This thinking is so old hat


VERSE 1
Kids stare at me
Dogs lunge at me
What did I do to them

Is it cos I'm different
Or am I just unique
It's not worth thinking about

I won't give them
The iight of day
They don't even know me

Whatever they think
They can keep to themselves
I could not care less


CHORUS
Don't judge me and
I won't judge you
There is no need for that

Does it make you feel good
To make others feel bad
This thinking is so old hat


VERSE 2
Saying I did something
When it is not true
Where do you get off

Speaking up loudly
For the whole world to hear
You make me want to scoff

I had to get help
Cos you were making threats
Then they came to my aid

It took a whole month
For them to bring you down
Now I'll never see you again


CHORUS
Don't judge me and
I won't judge you
There is no need for that

Does it make you feel good
To make others feel bad
This thinking is so old hat


VERSE 3
No-one deserves
To be treated this way
Don't let it get you down

It can interfere
With your happiness
Then all you'll do is frown

People can think
And say what they want
Don't let it bother you

At the end of the day
It is you that matters
So to yourself stay true


CHORUS
Don't judge me and
I won't judge you
There is no need for that

Does it make you feel good
To make others feel bad
This thinking is so old hat


CHORUS
Don't judge me and
I won't judge you
There is no need for that

Does it make you feel good
To make others feel bad
This thinking is so old hat

Don't Judge Me

Protis has been writing music since 1998, when he was still in high school. The name Protis came about from watching the TV show Pokemon; his original name was Piggy, and just how Pikachu evolves into Raichu, well he decided that Piggy would evolve into Protis. The name has stuck ever since then.

Protis is a big fan of computer-based music.  The first computer program he used for music purposes was Cubase Lite on good ol' Windows 3.1 operating system.  Over the years he moved on to Cubast VST, where he further developed his skills as a songwriter.  Most of his early recordings were instrumental works, as at the time he was unable to compose decent lyrics.

After a while, Protis decided to leave the realm of General MIDI and progress into the world of loops and samples.  He accomplished this by using the ACID range of products.  Countless hours were spent with this brilliant piece of software, coming up with lots of cool beats.

Protis has also dabbled in the FruityLoops software, now called FL Studio.  He utilised FL Studio to write songs which contained his first self-penned lyrics.  He was surprised at just how well his lyrics came across in each song, fitting in well with the music.  And all this from someone who could never write words to his songs!
