🎤 “WHY NOT ME TOO?” [Intro – soft, questioning] When she hurts… we all do. Don’t you see that? ⸻ [Verse 1] You talk to her like she’s nothing Like she’s just part of the line Like she don’t go home to people Like she ain’t somebody’s whole world… like mine You raise your voice over dollars Like that’s all this moment is worth But every word that you throw at her Feels like it lands in my chest first ⸻ [Hook – gentle, echoing] When she hurts… it hurts us all Every crack becomes our fall If this world’s one family like you say Why don’t we treat it that way? ⸻ [Verse 2] You see a clerk—I see my mom You see a mistake—I see her strong You see “service”—I see sacrifice You see “price”—I see her life She skips her rest, she skips her meals Just to make sure that we’re real That we’ve got shoes, that we’ve got food That we’ve got something to hold onto And you? You don’t even look her in the eyes ⸻ [Hook – stronger] When she hurts… it hurts us all We’re not separate—we rise or fall If this world’s one human family Why don’t you see her… like you see me? ⸻ [Bridge – spoken, building] They say: “Be kind.” They say: “We’re all connected.” They say: “Love your neighbour.” But what about her? What about the ones Holding everything together Quietly… While the rest of the world complains? ⸻ [Verse 3 – rising emotion] I hear her sigh when she gets home late I see her hands—they shake from the weight I see her smile like everything’s fine But I know that smile—it’s borrowed time I’d give anything just to say: “Stop talking to her that way.” Because when you break her down like that You don’t just hurt her— You hurt us back ⸻ [Final Hook – powerful, pleading] When she hurts… it hurts us all You don’t see it—but we feel it all If this world’s one family, it’s true Then why not her? …why not me too? ⸻ [Outro – quiet, direct] Next time you raise your voice… Remember— You’re not just talking to her. You’re talking to me, too.
