Edit By: 216.73.216.251

** originally issued as charity single

[hit me
Come on]

Chorus
Lets talk about sex, baby
Lets talk about you and me
Lets talk about all the good things
And the bad things that may be
Lets talk about sex
Lets talk about sex
Lets talk about sex
Lets talk about sex

Yo, lets talk about aids (go on) to the unconcerned and uninformed
You think you cant get it?  well youre wrong
Dont dismiss, dis, or blacklist the topic
That aint gonna stop it
Now if you go about it right you just might save your life
Dont be uptight, come join the fight
Were gonna tell you how you can get it and how you wont
All of the dos and all of the donts
I got some news for you so listen, please
Its not a black, white, or gay disease
Are you ready, pep? 	yeah, Im set
All right then, come on, bet

Chorus

[so if you do come up hiv positive (mmm-hmmm) or have aids (yeah)
We just want you to know (what? ) that there are treatments (thats right)
And the earlier, the sooner, detected the better off youll be
Tell em please
Hey, yo, pep, you get checked?
Yep, every year, g]

Now, you dont get aids from kisses, touches, mesquito bites, or huggin
Toilet seats, telephones, stop buggin
You get it for sex or a dirty drug needle
Anal or oral now, people
Women can give it to men and men mostly to women
The facts are simple, right and exact
And once you get it, theres no turnin back for you
There aint a cure so you gotta be sure
Protect yourself or dont have sex anymore
Mothers might give it to their babies through the womb
Or through birth, dont be an ass and assume
Aids aint got no smell or taste
It dont care about your race
You see a nice, kind face - you think youre safe?
Im sorry, thats just not the case
Theres no debate, conversate with your mate
And dont wait until its too late

Chorus

Ladies, all the ladies, louder now, help me out
Come on, all the ladies - lets practice safe sex, all right
(repeat)

[yo, salt...
What?
You know what else will stop the spread of aids?
Unh-huh
If everybody stop cheating and messing around and just stay with one person
...and wear condoms]
