I Still Remain Pure
Not that many people I know are virgins,
Virginity is becoming foreign as lust is being reborn,
Bed shakin while they're baby makin,
Hands over HER mouth to keep HIS mom from wakin,
All the innocence around me is lost but I still remain pure,
Lose it once there ain't no cure to get it back
16 and still a virgin,
Nowadays it’s rare,
Since love and lust are becoming a diversion,
All there ladies choosing to open their legs,
Not knowing if they were the first or if there were others,
That have been touched by what's under the covers,
My mind is set,
Marriage before the love makin,
I've thought about waking up next to a loving man I know I laid down with,
That I exchanged vows with,
All these boys tried to whisper in my ear,
Hoping the sweet nothings lead me to their bedroom,
Too bad my family taught me better,
Too bad I have self-respect for myself,
Too bad I know my self-worth.
All the innocence around me is lost,
But I still remain pure.
