A Free Sample

"A Free Sample."

I remember we used to get free samples when the
manufacturers invented something, they'd have it mailed to you.
There's women who give away free samples of themselves
and it's the worst thing that they can do.
Sex isn't something you have like lunch, it isn't a fun activity
that you can do like bowling or chess.
This activity requires someone to give of themselves
when they undress.
I'm celibate I'm a man and I'm not about
to dishonor Yah, disrespect myself or let someone disrespect me.
I encourage you to think of yourselves special, no free samples to
anyone, but save yourself for matrimony.
Free samples have gotten many pregnant, many have a lifetime
reminder of the free sample they gave away.
When you're a free sample, you're not his Boo, not his girlfriend,
not his woman but his whore, an easy lay.
You are saying you aren't worth waiting for
you're saying you're not special at all.
When you're a free sample you give away the Milk for free
he doesn't have to buy the Cow only to make a Booty call.
A free sample is a mama's baby, the whore he's had
but never ever his wife.
Boys will sleep around sowing their wild oats
this is the way the devil has it for many in life.
I know many say you have needs, but is it to have a man mess
over you, you say you're tired of the Drama and Games.
You're your worst enemy when you undress for a man who isn't your
husband, your rep will be a whore among other names.
What you feel shouldn't be stupid or proud because sex
outside of marriage is one thing that Yah will not allow.
Yah has one rule when it comes to sex
you can't have the Milk without buying your Cow.
There are females walking around pregnant or
pushing strollers by themselves but I hardly see the boy around.
When you said you missed your period the one who told you
he loved you either said it wasn't his or could not be found.
A free sample is irresponsible on both parties,
not being responsible for the baby you two had.
Being a free sample for someone isn't romantic but insane
in a time of HIV/AIDS, a free sample can really turn out bad.
