Marked Forever


Don’t be tricked Everyone says their clean But you found out she lied when you got picked It all blew up like a action scene She was so enticing; nice lips, nice thighs Oh she looked like heaven Best thing you’d ever seen with your eyes But you got tricked like the others, Devin Everything about her said yes but your head screamed no You didn’t listen Then you gave her a holla “hey yo!” Now you get shaky when your meds are missin All your friend tellin’ you “Yeah she badd” She invited you over for movies You said No, but changed your mind so she wouldn’t look so sad It was a rap what she did to you that night was a doozie You went raw It was the greatest feeling, for just that night People said what she had but you just shook your head nah What’s done in the dark comes to the light A simple check up at the doctor Some blood work You weren’t expecting a positive from the proctor When you found out you went bizerk! Thinking how could you get HIV Didn’t rap it up Now your stuck with this disease Scared if your little sister drinks from your cup This could turn to AIDS What does your future hold Death? this can’t be covered up with band-aids Its all too bold It wont just go away like Magic’s You have to understand anybody could have it
