You Don'T Own Me
You don't know me
You don't own me
You don't know the ghetto where I was born
You don't know the winds that I have torn
You don't know the places where I have been
You don't know the roads that I have taken
You don't know the mountains I have climbed
You don't know the storms that I have braved
You don't know the rivers that I have crossed
You don't know the wagers that I have lost
You don't know the oceans that I have sailed on
You don't know the thorns that I have walked on
It's not you that gives me bread
It's not you that made me read
So, don't judge me like you know me
So, don't treat me like you own me
