I've Got AIDS (PSA)

(album: Very Necessary - 1993)

[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'e also involved in the fight and they're called WEATOC from Boston, Massachusetts. They're just young people schooling other young people

[Cathy & Mario:]
Oh, God, I can't believe this. I mean, I thought this happened or other people but not me. I mean, I'm only 16 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 it, hold it where the TV at?
Mario, forget about the TV
What are you talking about? I got 50 dollars on this game
Mario, this is more important than the game
What? What? Alright, whoa, who's home?
There's nobody home right now
Oh, 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 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 for what? Positive for what? What are you talking about?
I have HIV...
You...
And I really don't know what we're gonna do because...
Hold up, 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... 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
That's not what I've heard
You know we didn't use protection!
Oh, my goodness, that's not what I heard. My boys talk... 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 was 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...
Hey, whoa...
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 do you want me to do?
I can't believe you, Mario! I hate you! Just get home, my God!
