Lyrics




Yo... man... it's positive, this can't be happening yo
This can't be for real dog
What's that, doctor? Repeat it again
You said it's positive and my life's finna end
Fuck that, this can't be happening to me
I'm too damn young to have HIV
I mighta caught it from Sharon, she draws the Black LeBaron
Lisa, Theresa, or maybe it was Karen
I wonder did I pass it, did I give it to someone?
Was it passed, from birth, from my girl to my son?
Oh no, I gotta look her in the eye
I got HIV and this means I'm finna die
Wait mommy, don't you cry, please try to understand
It wasn't supposed to happen, wasn't part of my plan
A freak by nature, I love hitting skins
Ran train on parlour with a couple of my friends
That night my condom broke, I thought it was a joke
I said "Put it in your mouth, take it way down your throat"
What peoples don't know is you can catch it from the orals
Living life recklessly with no kinda morals
A pimp, a player, a baller, a mack
But once you get AIDS son, there's no turning back
I can't believe I put myself in this position
KRS tried to warn me, I wish I woulda listened
Stop what you're doing, it's time to state the facts
Before you hit it raw man you better be strapped
'Cause now in winter, AIDS attacks
You better run out and get you a jimmy hat
Stop what you're doing, it's time to state the facts
Before you hit it raw man you better be strapped
'Cause now in winter, AIDS attacks
You better run out and get you a jimmy hat
Sick from this shit and there is no cure
The friends that I have, they don't know me anymore
I drink water at their house, they break the glass when I leave
My mom's in denial, she's refusing to believe
That soon I'll meet my maker, how long will it take her
To understand I'm at my rapture like Anita Baker
Cast out of Heaven, God took away his grace
I woke up this morning, had a lesion in my face
At night I can't sleep, my body's soaking wet
Tossing and turning, my bed's full of sweat
I lost fifty pounds, wasn't even on a diet
Before you hit it raw, I suggest don't even try it
I'm telling you the deal, AIDS shit is real
And nine out of ten all it's gonna do is kill
With no discrimination, no hesitation
If you're white, black, Puerto Rican, every nation
It costs so little for a pack of three
You better wear your hats, or R.I.P
Stop what you're doing, it's time to state the facts
Before you hit it raw man you better be strapped
'Cause now in winter, AIDS attacks
You better run out and get you a jimmy hat
Stop what you're doing, it's time to state the facts
Before you hit it raw man you better be strapped
'Cause now in winter, AIDS attacks
You better run out and get you a jimmy hat
I bet you heard Adina Howard's song "A Freak Like Me"
But you never heard a jam about the HIV
Now stop what you're doing, I suggest you pay attention
Eazy-E, Magic Johnson, is just a few to mention
But you don't hear me though, you think it can't happen
I'm a wack nigga rapping 'cause I ain't about gun clapping
I know you like it raw, but brother stop and think
That pussy might be good, but your life could be extinct
I still can't believe we like back in the day
Thinking AIDS is man-made and it only affects gays
Stop all the madness, end the confusion
IV drug use or blood transfusion
The third way is sex nigga even if you straight
Fuck around and catch the HIV, you bound to meet your mate
Before you go inside, or rock your Ruff Ryders
Like Nas said to Loc of Bodega's, your supplier
It costs so little for a pack of three
There's jimmy hats by BDP
Remember you're never too old
You better wear your hats
Remember you're never too old
You better wear your hats
Before you hit it raw man it's time to state the facts
You better go and get you a jimmy hat
'Cause now in winter, AIDS attacks
So go out and get you a jimmy hat
The J, the I, the M, the N, the Y, the J, the I, the M
It's jimmy, hold up, it's jimmy, hold up, jimmy
