Don't touch me. 

How dare you try dip your 

already sticky hands into this honey jar. 

I'm sorry if you saw me from afar 

but you were far from my mind 

before you decided to lock on to my behind. 

Don't touch me. 

 

You say not all men are the same 

We're giving you a bad name 

You're not trash but your behavior is something foul 

when your homies don't call you out and neither do you 

When another woman becomes the target and they take their aim.

Don't touch me. 

 

You “Can't even give a compliment now?”

You're “Too scared to talk to me?”

We think every kind gesture is to harass 

I'm sorry, but how do you usually greet your home boys?

Do you usually try to feel up their ass? 

Don't touch me.

 

Your verbal apologies are losing their value 

If you want to make bank on your conscious

Cash in on your changed actions.

Don't try to 

eye me like you know me

You're a stranger who think it’s stranger that I defend myself

instead of you asking yourself

“What's wrong with this behaviour?”

Don't touch me. 

Tt's not my fault that you feel insecure 

that you need to assert your dominance and 

belittle my confidence 

 

Don't touch me. 

For what's mine is not yours

You're proud of your bullshit like you've won the super bowl and you're keeping score.

Well bring your manhood over here and collect your trophy against my knee 

don't touch me. 

 

I’m not scared but you like that

Women aren't afraid anymore 

So you see our reaction as a challenge 

common knowledge can’t be so common 

if you think a woman is

situation you can manage 

 

Well can you manage to keep your hands to yourself

Before you think they belong on me?

That your fingers were molded as a holder for any part of my body?

can you manage 

to treat me with human decency

can you manage 

Honor, Integrity, decorum

dignity

 

Can you control your sense of superiority 

And manage to treat us

To treat me

as an equal human being

They way it's meant to be.

 

To not see us 

As things you can own

To correct your friend when they do wrong 

Why does it have to be your daughter, your sister, your friend before you stand on our side and ask this to end?

Can you speak out against your friend beating his wife? 

Can you manage to empathize with our strife?

Can you decide to walk away and not ruin my day? Or the rest of my life ? 

Because I still remember the first time it happened 

Something that shouldn't happen to any child

I have enough bad memories 

I don't need anymore, thanks

 

If you need to fiddle with little toys 

Be a big boy and

Stick in your pants 

 

Do. Not. Touch. Me.
