Okay.
Hi, this is
Tembi.
It's time for [Am]my prayer.
Every morning, when I [G]wake up,
I'll run [Am]off to my drawer,[Am]
take out the mirror, and look at myself.
[Am]I say, hello,
HIV, you trespasser.
You are in my body.
You have to obey the rules.
You have to respect me,
and if you don't hurt me, I won't hurt you.
If you mind your business,
I'll mind mine.
Then I'll give you a ticket when
your time [Bbm]comes.[C#]
[G#]I never thought I would ever worry about
HIV and
[C#]AIDS.
It was the last thing in my mind.
