ARMAND VAN HELDEN - You don't know me (1999)

You don't even know me
You say that I'm not livin' right
You don't understand me
So why do you judge my life

I don't ask for nothing
I'm always holding my own
Every time I turn around, there's something
People talking 'bout what they don't know
And when I try to move on up
They're always pullin' me down
I'm tired and I've had enough
It's my life, and i'm living it now

You don't even know me
You say that I'm not livin' right
You don't understand me
So why do you judge my life

I always wonder why
People try to hurt me
No happiness in their own lives
So they act out all their jealousy
Who are you to say that I'm living wrong?
Always telling me what to do
I've decided I gotta be strong
What makes you think that I needed you?
You don't know me...

You don't even know me (ohh, you dont know me)
You say that I'm not livin' right (you don't understand the waythat I feel)
You don't understand me (you can't even see my pain)
So why do you judge my life (oohhh you don't know)

You don't even know me
You say that I'm not livin' right
You don't understand me
So why do you judge my life

Who are you?
You say I'm not livin' right
Anything I try to do
You haven't walked in my shoes
I'm gonna move on
It's my life, it's my life

You don't even know me
You say that I'm not livin' right
You don't understand me
So why do you judge my life (x2)

Armand Van Helden - Old School Junkies - Allright

Big ups to the versatile Van Helden. Big fat boomin beat. Respect to Henry Street for settin the standard and pressin the deep stuff!

Back in the days a lot of the original producers started out signing deals connected to either ther own name or a specific alias wich basically kept them from releasing material on other labels under that specific name.

This forced them to cook up all sorts of monikers to avoid being pinned down on a single label, thus still releasing stuff affiliated to their best known aliases on various labels .

This might be the reason for the somewhat confusing name thing.

It sure has Armands bump, this.
