I’ve Got AIDS lyrics

[Intro: Salt]
Well, for a long time, me, Pep, and Spin have been involved in the fight against AIDS
And we always say the best cure is not to get it and not to spread it
You should be responsible if you're gonna have sex
So, we decided to give a spot on our album to a group of young people who're also involved in the fight
And they're called WEATOC from Boston, Massachusetts
They're just young people schoolin' other young people

[Skit: Cathy & Mario]
Oh, God, I can't believe this
I mean, I thought this happened to other people, but not me
I mean, I'm only sixteen years old
I had a whole life ahead of me and now I'm gonna die
I mean, what am I gonna do? I
Oh, God, I'm so confused, and where's Mario? I called him over an hour ago
All we had to do was just use protection
I mean, the condoms were right there
Come in
Yo, what's up, man? Hold up, hold up, where the TV at?
Mario, forget about the TV
What are you talking about? I got fifty dollars on this game
Mario, this is more important than the game
What? Alright, what? Who's home?
There's nobody home right now
Oh, so then, so that's why you called me over here then
Mario, that's how we got into this in the first place
What are you talking about? What, what are you talking about?
I went to the clinic today
Oh, what you got, a little cold? I know how to fix that
Mario, I don't have a cold
So, oh, oh, please, please, don't tell me you're pregnant
Please don't tell me you're pregnant
Right now that would be more easier to tell you than what I have to tell you
So then what are you talking about? You're talking in circles, Cathy
Mario, I got tested, and my test, my test results came up positive
Tests, test for what? Positive for what? What are you talkin' about?
I have HIV
And I really don't know what we're gonna do because (Hold on, hold on, wait, wait, wait)
You got AIDS?
Yes
Oh
I have the virus and I don't know what we're gonna do (Hold up, what "we're" gonna do?)
I mean, we should have used protection
What "we're" gonna do? What are you talking about? No, no, no, this can't, no, this is not happening to me
What are you talking about?
No, this is, I mean, you might have HIV, I guess, but not me
No, I'm sorry, I'm straight
Mario, what are you talking about? You know you're the only one I've been with
Well, that's not what I heard
You know we didn't use protection
Oh, my goodness, that's not what I heard
My boys told, they told me they seen you with all types of dudes, Cathy, come on now (Your boys?)
You're gonna start listening to your boys at a time like this?
Well, I'm, well, trust me, now is a perfect time to start
Mario, I thought you loved me, what are you—
I can't believe this is coming from you, I thought
I thought I meant more to you than this
Well, I did love you, but now you be sleeping around, you caught AIDS and all that?
Sleeping around?
What you want me to do?
I can't believe you, Mario
I hate you, just get out of my—, God
Aw, come on, man, you better just step with that
That's your problem, that ain't mine, don't be tryna put that on me
That's dead
Come on now, you gonna try and tell me I got AIDS, you better walk on
Please, and I passed it to here, that's—, no
No
No, who am I foolin'?
Aw, I'm just sittin'— I'm blamin' her
I'm blamin' somebody else for something I know that I did
I mean, aw, I know I'm the only one she's been with
I can't believe this, I had my whole future ahead of me
I know, I know she was plannin' on goin' to college and me too
I wanted, you know, to get an education, I wanted to start a family
I might not be able to start a family
I might even die soon
And what if she's pregnant? Then that means that the baby's gonna have AIDS?
Ah, I gotta get outta here
