Sonya Massey
Don't hurt me!
I know my black skin blinds your rationality
But don't hurt me!
I am a mother, I shouldn't have to birth your bullets too
Don't Hurt me!
I said don't hurt me
Yet your offensive behavior drowns my defenseless heart
Palms up, don't hurt me
I see you are going to hurt me
Lord, my God, my Father, I rebuke this fear in your name
I rebuke this cycle of minus one
I rebuke this protection because only your hands can bandage what the badge has stole
Protect and Serve safeguards it's employees more than the people
Are we even people to you?
Don't hurt me, turns into pain washed by tears, wiped away by God
My daughter you don't have to hurt anymore
Thank you Jesus, please watch over my family, friends, and people
p.s. will death ever pay the debt of freedom...
