In Too Deep


I’m Leo I like to run around town When the sun goes down My bed makes sounds My passion spreads around I’m Hosea I like to cheat My wife doesn’t own my meat I’m as slippery as a leaf My passion isn’t only in our sheets I’m Carla I like to seduce my men I change lovers with the wind My panties are what I lend My passion is what I send I’m Lucy I like to sneak behind his back He ain’t the only Mac My husband cheats and that’s a fact But when he’s gone, others are in this sack If Leo and Carla slept together And Hosea cheated with Carla And Lucy cheated with Leo And Lucy and Hosea are married And Leo is HIV positive That was his whole prerogative Now Carla doesn’t know who the father is Now Carla is HIV positive Now Hosea is living with AIDS Now look at the mess Hosea made Now Lucy is battling HIV It wasn’t what it was cracked up to be..huh Lucy? Now Leo with his HIV Continues to spread his disease Men and Women cheat Everyone’s always changing their seats Now they’re all trying to seek A cure But now they are just in too deep.
