AIDS

AIDS makes people fraid to get laid
Let's trade knowledge and make that shit fade
It's transmitted in semen and blood
You can't git it from a kiss or a hug
It's bugged that we're teamless unlike extremists
HIV via intravenous or anus to penis
Where you might shit, it's a tight fit
Break blood vessels no light hit
Sexual revolution, eventual confusion.
No tests then for preventable pollution
of T-cells, rebels, bleed, heed well to stay protected
No matter who's elected, it's still the same
If Europe were infected, we'd drop pills from planes
Big pharm pimped em but it may be impossible
to do more than suppress a symptom
They paid for a race war instead of an AIDS cure

///If you become positive, your life's not over
but it's mega-sober. You'll need health
insurance that won't expire like Cobra.
Child soldier, longterm nonprogressor
You can ask the State for help
before taking desperate measure
Case manager can find you gratis
lawyer if boss disclose your status
and notify partners be they on a
ballcourt or at Radcliffe.
Sport suits for court dates
Support groups ease weight of discipline
it takes to stick to the regimen
Every skipped session helps to let it in
and mutate. Curse fate and cute date
Keep hope alive. It's never too late.
Magic Johnson may die of old age
Tragic loss inside cries in cold rage///

How friends and fam react sets the tone
some are disowned, thrown out the home
everyone deserves love, never left alone
You can't get AIDS from shared silverware
There's no need to spray toilet seat with aer-
osol, wherewithal, please. You can't get AIDS
from a cough, sneeze, even if someone bleeds
it would have to be directly into a fresh wound
with flesh ruined or unprotected sex.
Half a million people don't know they're infected in the U.S.
They're more dangerous than those who came up positive in tests.
So please tell the next kid, go get tested.
A problem won't go away unless we address it.
