TLC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo, this is Left Eye speakin' for TLC
And as we're closin' out here
You need to know that words cannot
Express to you how important safe-sex is to us
What some of us toy around with can easily
Become a deadly weapon
So take it as serious as it is
And remember that protection is the priority
And that is oh, on the TLC tip
The TLC song "Conclusion" serves as a public service announcement, with Left Eye speaking on behalf of the group about the importance of safe sex. The opening lines state that words cannot adequately express the gravity of the situation. Left Eye emphasizes the point that the things that people may play around with have the potential to be deadly. The underlying message of the song is that people should prioritize protection and treat it with the utmost seriousness.
The song's message about safe sex was particularly important in the 1990s when it was released, with the HIV/AIDS epidemic in full swing. TLC, as a group, always had a reputation for being socially conscious and using their music to spread positive messages. The song has a simple beat with a repetitive chorus, which serves to drive home the message. TLC's Conclusion is a powerful reminder for all listeners to take safe sex seriously.

Yo, this is Left Eye speakin' for TLC
Left Eye, representing TLC, is delivering this message.
And as we're closin' out here
As the message comes to its end,
You need to know that words cannot
Understand that language alone cannot
Express to you how important safe-sex is to us
Convey the true significance of safe sex to us.
What some of us toy around with can easily
The things some of us casually play with can quickly
Become a deadly weapon
Turn into a hazardous weapon.
So take it as serious as it is
Therefore, take it as seriously as it deserves.
And remember that protection is the priority
Make sure to prioritize safe sex and use protection.
And that is oh, on the TLC tip
That is the message from TLC.
