The Biblical Remix – Hit & Run

Proverbs 7:6-21 – http://bit.ly/biblicalremixhitandrun

It was mad dark and my dude was outside walking. This loose chick he never met before rolled up on him ready to jump his bones.  She was OD with the flirtatiousness.

Bust it how she told him her husband was out of town and she just prepared her bedroom for some all night booty knocking.

Dude was so caught up by her seducing words and seeing how her butt cheeks were slightly hanging out her shorts, that he followed her right to the crib.

As they approached the bedroom door this J. Cole song was playing in the background:

“Straight up now tell me are you really gonna love me forever (ooh ooh ooh), Or is it just a hit and run…”

Reflection:

Like the dude above some of us march down the wrong path just looking to walk into traps.  We might not consciously want to do that but our actions find us straddling the line of caution in areas we know are not beneficial to our health.  I don’t know if it is the mystery or the danger that excites us.  Yet we tread on grounds that we know can be highly explosive.

If you have been part of a hit and run, please raise your hand.  Okay so I am not alone here.  If we recount those experiences (if you can remember that far or that many…woooooow…j-k…actually I’m not…), could things have gone the wrong way?  I mean to say did we place ourselves in compromising situations?  I have.

Interestingly enough at the end of the day a hit and run is really about me pleasing me.  The other person really doesn’t matter.  Even if I personally know them.  It is about me satisfying my lusts.  Can we be honest about that?

I know a “jump off” is looked upon favorably in our hip hop culture (Side Note: notice how many artists and athletes be having so many babies by different mamas…).  If I look at the big picture, what have we sowed in our communities?  High rates of HIV.  High rates of single parent homes.  Not enough baby fathers participating in the lives of their children.  A culture of low accountability and responsibility.

Truthfully if I have access to tapping some booty without ever having to commit to it, then who is to say I need to take responsibility for the consequences of my actions.  Am I content with a community that praises women to just “work out for me”?  Some dudes be whining about hitting it “in the morning”.  Others are “young, wild and free” and they don’t care who sees.  These are the lessons we are teaching to our young ones who are coming up.

Perhaps the hit and run is our way of acknowledging our sexuality at the cost of devaluing another human being.

Some people may never fully understand what I just said.  To those my advice is “stop giving it away for free”.  You are worth more than that.
