So lets look as this subject, and ill tell you why im disgusted

So tonight looks like sex will be the topic of discussion

Now sex isn’t evil, for marriage is why God made it

But I know you like come on Jeff, that’s too outdated.

This is 2011 bro, we do it for recreation

Hey this is even college, so we do it while you’re wasted

But I want to look that logic lets pop off the seal

And lets question something we thought is already a done deal

For example take a rape victim and once its revealed

When her bruises go away is she totally healed?

No, the damage is lasting, you can see it in her eyes

If it was just abused recreation, why did it ruin her life?

I mean if sex is just for fun then why on us does it take such a toll?

Maybe its because You don’t have sex with a body, you have sex with a soul.

That means for me there ain't no premarital lovin

And it ain't just because I don’t want a baby in the oven

Its because I’m staying pure until the day that I’m a husband

But see this wasn’t always me that’s guarantee

So lets go back and see who I used to be

Growing up, I never learned how to treat a lady

If I learned anything from my dad, it was leave the mom, ditch the baby

I don’t say that to get sympathy, I say that to be real

Because according to stats, about 40% of you know how that feels

So I let the tv show me, what the music already told me

No dad at home, so I let mtv mold me

And they sold me, so my life revolved around what girl I could get next

My whole life revolved around this girl name sex

Shoot I gotta confess Id get at her on text

But it seems the longer we dated, the bigger the mess

But see ive been there, where my girlfriend was late on that time of the month

If you’ve been there too, you know what I mean when I say my heart sunk

I started to justify abortion, I would butter it up

But they don’t have condoms for sin, you can't just cover it up

I didn’t have a baby, thankfully

Its funny how I was pro-life, until it happened to me

So dudes think twice before you desire her just cuz she’s hot

Because your body makes a promise whether you do or not

Sorry I digress, lets get back to the topic

How there are guys in here who pressure her even when she says stop it

Youre not a man, youre just a boy who can shave and you put on a good cover

Cuz if you don’t respect her when she says no, you certainly don’t love her

So start studying her heart, and stop studying her booty

Or maybe invest the same amount of time in her, that you do in call of duty

I mean whats make you think you have the right to get a girl and get naughty?

You should have to touch her heart and her mind first before you ever touch her body

Because she longs to be accepted, she longs to be loved

So she gives herself up to another guys lust

It feels good at first, and then she gets bitter

Cuz the promises of satisfaction it never delivers

See shes like man I don’t want to, its just too tempting

So she keeps opening up the present, just to find its empty

And then she starts to get confused

Because she keeps getting rejected by all these dudes

They tell her on scale of 10 shes a two

But that ain't true, if she only knew

That Jesus, he loves and accepts us

Even when we don’t deserve it, he never rejects us

He heals us from that sin totally infects us

He does what condoms can't, he emotionally protect us

I know some of you like “this guys wack” and you gunna wanna indict me

But we gotta think rightly, so ill ask politely

Can we really say this isn’t true even slightly?

Touch the forbidden fruit, just to realize its poison ivy

Now we’re numb and we’re itching, and jacked up our psyche

You don’t think you just do it, like your name was nike

Not realizing the consequences of sin, is oh so pricey

So this last story is for those who think they’re too dirty

This last story, its for those who think they’re unworthy

Read John chapter 8, the woman caught in adultery

Religious leaders throw her naked in the temple, while she yells “Don’t murder me”

“Jesus! The law commands us to stone this woman!” you hear the hate in their tone

Jesus pauses and then says, “whoever is without sin, you can cast the first stone”

Can you imagine the sound? Silence all around

You hear footsteps walk away, you hear stones hit the ground

Jesus kneels down, the woman thought it was her demise

He lifts up her face, you see the grace in his eyes

I don’t condemn you, go and sin no more

I love and accept you, mercy is yours

If you’re anything like me you’re like no it can't be, no I can't see

Why would he die for me?

Then I saw the scene, where I was redeemed

He reached out and touched me, and said Jeff you’re free

Instantly I was wearing the brightest robe id ever seen

Perfectly spotless, perfectly clean!

So bright in fact, I thought id go blind

I said who’s is this? He said “actually its mine”

So stop and think before you eat what society feeds us

Come follow the King, his name is Jesus
