Too Hot
Coolio Lyrics

Everybody, listen up, 'cause I'm about to get my speak on
Pay attention, I'm about to speak up.

Fools be trippin' when it's time to get they freak on
People don't think rationally when they want to have sex.

Runnin' 'round town, puttin' it down
People are having sex all over town.

Without no protection for the erection
People are having unprotected sex.

When it's time for selection, what's your direction?
When it's time to choose a partner, what do you choose?

Before you make a choice, you better do some inspection
Before you choose a partner, you better check them out and use protection.

If you don't know my aim and don't know my game, then
If you don't know what I'm doing and why I'm doing it, then listen up.

Let me explain, now
Let me tell you what's going on.

Aisha slept wit Mark and Mark slept with Tina
Aisha had sex with Mark, who then had sex with Tina.

And Tina slept with Javier the first time he seen her
Tina had sex with Javier the first time they met.

Javier slept wit Loopy and Loopy slept with Rob
Javier had sex with Loopy, who then had sex with Rob.

'Cause he was rollin' on beads and had a good ass job
Rob had money and a good job, so Loopy had sex with him.

Rob slept with Lisa who slept with Steve and
Rob had sex with Lisa, who then had sex with Steve.

Steve was positive, H.I.V.
Steve had HIV.

What started off as a plan ended up in the plot
What started off as a plan turned into something more complicated.

You betta cool your ass off 'cause it's too damn hot
You need to slow down and use protection because it's too risky.

Gotta run for shelter, gotta run for shade
We need to find safety.

Your sister can't explain and your brother's ashamed
Your siblings can't help you, and feel embarrassed by your actions.

To admit you both have the same last name
To admit that you're related and doing things you shouldn't be doing.

I don't have to ask you where you've been
I know where you've been (meaning: having sex).

Girl, the matches in your purse say Holiday Inn
You stayed at the Holiday Inn (implication: having sex).

"A mind is a terrible thing to waste," that was the slogan
Campaigns used to focus on the importance of education but now they talk about safe sex.

But now it's '95 and it's "Don't forget the Trojan"
In 1995, campaigns promoted safe sex by emphasizing the use of condoms.

Explained it to her mama, before somebody get her
We need to educate people on safe sex before they get STDs.

Gotta hip her to the game of those smooth talkin' niggas
We need to educate young women about men who try to manipulate them into having sex.

Love is the word, seldom meant but often heard
People say they love each other but don't always mean it.

Latex, safe sex, you better learn
You need to use condoms to have safe sex.

And get hip to the facts before you react
Educate yourself about the risks of sex before you do anything.

Or end up in a box on your back
Or you might end up dead (from an STD).

Sometimes you ask for what you want and, get what you got
Sometimes what you ask for might not be good for you.

Don't get caught up in the plot, it's too damn hot
Don't get caught up in drama and danger, it's too risky.

Another day in the city and "Oh, what a pity"
Things are tough in the city.

Even though we did our duty things, it's still lookin' shitty
Although we're trying to do the right thing, it's not working out.

Everybody in the pack stacked, tryin' to make some scratch
Everyone's trying to make money.

Walkin' in the rain, but they ain't got no hat
People are unprepared and vulnerable.

Understand how we livin' in the nineties loc'
Understand what it's like to live in the 90s.

Nuclear waste, cannibalism, and pistol smoke
The world is a dangerous place full of pollution, violence and crime.

Sex, lies, videotape, and rape
Sex is used to manipulate and control people.

Just a little bump n grind can seal your fate
Having sex can lead to unintended consequences.

We need to do something drastic, shit is gettin' tragic
We need to take serious action because things are getting worse.

And if you don't believe me, then go ask Magic
If you don't trust my opinion, ask Magic Johnson (who has HIV).

Everybody and they mama preachin' abstinence
Many people are advocating for abstinence.

These kids ain't checkin for absti-shit
Young people aren't interested in abstinence.

So put a condom in they hand and hope it don't bust
Provide young people with condoms.

Another victim of the lust, in God we trust
Another person becomes a victim of sexual desire, we hope for divine protection.

Water can't cool it off cause it's too damn hot
There's no easy solution to the problem of risky sex.

That's how we do that right there
That's the message, it's important to listen up.
