Salt-N-Pepa

Let's Talk About Aids

Let's talk about sex baby

Let's talk about you and me

Let's talk about all the good things

And the bad things that may be

Let's talk about sex

Let's talk about sex

Let's talk about sex

Let's talk about sex

Yo let's talk about AIDS (go on) to the unconcerned and

uninformed

You think you can't get it? Well you're wrong

Don't dismiss, dis, or blacklist the topic

That ain't gonna stop it

Now if you go about it right you just might save your

life

Don't be uptight, come join the fight

We're gonna tell you how you can get it and how you

won't

All of the do's and all of the don't's

I got some news for you so listen, please

It's not a black, white, or gay disease

Are you ready, Pep? Yeah, I'm set

All right then, come on, bet

[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 (that's right)

And the earlier, the sooner, detected the better off

you'll be

Tell 'em please

Hey, yo, Pep, you get checked?

Yep, every year, G]

Now, you don't 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, there's no turnin' back for you

There ain't a cure so you gotta be sure

Protect yourself or don't have sex anymore

Mothers might give it to their babies through the womb

Or through birth, don't be an ass and assume

AIDS ain't got no smell or taste

It don't care about your race

You see a nice, kind face - you think you're safe?

I'm sorry, that's just not the case

There's no debate, conversate with your mate

And don't wait until it's too late

Ladies, all the ladies, louder now, help me out

Come on, all the ladies - let's 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]
