Chorus: Jenny Fujita |
The hype. |
nitis. |
is in. your eyes |
That look. |
that smile. |
in disguise |
Aiyyo, can you feel it? |
I know that everybody’s heard of that (The Vapors!) |
But this is the ninety-eight version of that |
BizMark, one of the founders of this art |
Discovered evidence, of the disease, and documented it Now the name of the virus is called Hype-nitis |
A terminal condition that effects all biters and liars |
Hype-no-holics can’t require my respect |
Cause they snakes and I can smell the venom on they breath |
Hype-nitis |
Alright now, I’m about to break the hype-nitis down |
It’s characterized by a certain type of lifestyle |
People that treated you foul just wanna be nice now |
Smile and raise they eyebrows when you come around |
I remember when I first started to work |
and tried to get this job as a label intern |
Them niggaz was, killin me, cause wasn’t nobody feelin me |
A&R's wouldn’t even risk demo-dealin me Can you believe that shit? |
That’s how it was back then |
Aiyyo, I know |
most the niggaz I exchange pounds with or lounge with |
wouldn’t be around if my career was spiralin downward |
They’d crowd around me til I’m surrounded |
Ask me who I’m down with, til I replied, The Navy Seals outfit |
They told me my album was coconuts so they rewound it I knew they was hype-no-holics by how they voices sounded |
I pull a silver can out of my trousers |
Made a public announcement, about the Hype juice |
and then I bounced kid |
To me hype-nitis is like the measles, cause it’s a disease too |
Studies show it affects one in every five people |
It’s so lethal, the cure can’t be achieved through |
hypodermic needles or the ingestion of medicine in teaspoons |
If you feel the need to, here’s a toll-free number |
They’ll send you an eight page p&hlet to read through |
(800)-7932, there’ll be available hype-no-holics |
standin by for you to speak to The hype. |
