Tested

Living is a valuable asset 
Life is to precious
For one not to have an interest 
Or consider get tested

Don’t understand the word play 
Pay attention here’s a message
For those who neglected 
Or took for granted there protection 

So pause take a moment to think
Because it only takes about a moment to sink
And you was caught up in the moment
Even though you thought you owned it
Now to this tragic chain you’re a link

Plus every action has a repercussion
Or a consequence
By being light to temptation 
Procrastinated commonsense 

Now in 1 night of pleasure and relation
That you can enjoy
Get turned into this situation
That there’s no way can avoid

No color, creed, girl or boy
Disable or advance
The odds are still against you
Though there is an even chance
 
Internally contagious
Something that never extinct
Don’t be senile to the fact
Contrary to what you think 

The perception of a person 
Possibly could have you in a situation
Bet getting tested and finding out
Would give you a since of education

Because in the essence it took for passion
You can take the same time for evaluation
What you don’t know really hurts you
And you should know what you are facing
