Bah da da da do da do
Bah da da da do da do
Bah da da da do da do
Bah da da da do da do
Bah da da da do da do
Bah da da da do da do
Bah da da da do da do
Bah da da da do da do

Well I know I know that you meant well
But baby I can't tell
The questions that you ask
Leave much to be desired
I see it in your face
You don't know what to say
This reality
Is new to you
But it ain't to me, so

Please don't prey on me
I got a different set of abilities
I know it's not what you're used to
But I'm somebody God can use
Please don't prey on me
I know you think you know just what I need
But you don't even know me
So don't put your hands on me

I am not your scapegoat
I'm not here to make you feel comfortable
I'm not your consolation prize when life rocks your boat
So listen up
Cause I need you to know
You see a body that's seemingly broken and bruised
But I see a being that God can simply use
From my first steps
To my first breath
I'm dependent on Him yeah
Dependent on Him yeah, so

Please don't prey on me
I got a different set of abilities
I know it's not what you're used to
But I'm somebody God can use
Please don't prey on me
I know you think you know just what I need
But you don't even know me
So don't put your hands on me

I hear your questions but I don't hear curiosity
Say you love your neighbor
You ain't never been a friend to me
Say you praying for me
But you have no real proximity
I'm watching all your actions
Cause words have no validity
Nobody's perfect don't expect a single soul to be
I see you salivating
At the very thought of fixing me
Knife and fork primed
For the notches on your belt
But praise be to God that I'm covered, so

Please don't prey on me
I got a different set of abilities
I know it's not what you're used to
But I'm somebody God can use
Please don't prey on me
I know you think you know just what I need
But you don't even know me
So don't put your hands on me

Don't do it
Don't do it
Duh duh don't do it
Don't do it
Please don't do it, nah
Don't prey on me
Don't do it
Don't do it
Don't do it
Don't do it, ah
Don't you prey on me, ah
Don't you prey on me, ah

Please don't prey on me
I got a different set of abilities
I know it's not what you're used to
But I'm somebody God can use
Please don't prey on me
I know you think you know just what I need
But you don't even know me
So don't put your hands on me

You don't see me
You see an opportunity
An out to gain relief from the confrontation
I pose against your shifting sense
Of God's power in my thorn
You refuse to acknowledge what is real
With misguided zeal presuming I lack faith
Simply because I know where my help comes from
