The Real

AIDS and BABIES
AIDS and BABIES
There’s nothing out there but
AIDS and BABIES
Maybe that’s what we should tell ‘em
The kids wanna shake their laffy-taffy
They wanna fall in love with a stripper
They getting slizzle on that goose
They’re dying to…
They’re just dying
Thinking how “cool” it is to get it
How “grown” they’ll be when bedded
Because they see it all on the TV
The idiot box shows them “reality?”
But they don’t see the real
What?
AIDS and BABIES!
AIDS and BABIES?
Because that’s really the end of the show
Just cut to the chase and let ‘em know
We all listened to every tune
Promising us the stars and the moon
We wanted to bump and grind
Our parents got busy with Prince and the Time
They were our soundtrack growing up
Teaching us that was the way to grow up
Getting someone to slide inside
Or being the slider inside
For what?
AIDS and BABIES?
AIDS and BABIES?
Maybe BABIES with AIDS?
BABIES with AIDS?
You probably can’t even hear me
Thinking you really ain’t tryin to hear me
You know about that shit
And it ain’t got nothing to do with you
He pull out, she got kids so she clean
And you’ll just continue to do it
And end up with
AIDS and BABIES
AIDS and BABIES
You took a chick out last night, huh?
What’d you do?
“Oh, went to the movies, went to grab a bite to eat,”
That’s it?
“No, I put it down and gave it to her so sweet!”
Really?
So you got AIDS and BABIES?
“No, she’s safe…”
As safe as knives with toddlers?
Or did you think she told you the truth?
“I met this fine ass nigga on the job last night”
That’s it?
“No, he takin’ me shopping from the job I did last night”
Really?
So you got AIDS and BABIES?
“No, we was safe…”
As safe as playing in traffic?
You’d trust your life in the hands of another?
Someone you don’t know, a brand new lover?
Sounds great
Like getting
AIDS and BABIES
AIDS and BABIES
I mean, who wants to have all this sex
So you can be on Maury coming up next
It’s your 5th show trying to find that daddy
You don’t remember dude name who drive that caddy
Can’t pay your light bill, phone bill, rent
Bought new hair, that’s where your check went
Kids are in the dark, crying, starving
But you sitting around waiting for Marvin
Trying to get him to come through
Maybe hang around a bit
Fling him the ooka bit
So he can gi’ you some loot
And you’ll end up with more
AIDS and BABIES
AIDS and BABIES
Sounds like a song that’ll never be
Because no one wants to hear the real
They turn a deaf ear, it's truly a pity
Ignorant people say
Ignorance is bliss
Unless you start a situation with a kiss
For you to entrap yourself in a web
Of lies and deceit
Because all they really wanna do is
Give you
AIDS and BABIES
AIDS and BABIES
AIDS and BABIES
Don’t make it your story
Assume everybody has it
Better to be wrong and alive than wrong and dead...
