Yo //
Can you feel it? I know that everybody’s heard of that //
But this is the ninety-eight version of that //
Biz Mark, 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 //
Hypnoholics can’t acquire my respect //
’Cause they snakes, and I can smell the venom on their breath //
Hype-Nitis //

[Canibus]
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 their eyebrows when you come around //
I remember when I first started to work //
And tried to get this job as a label intern //
Them niggas was killing me, ‘cause wasn’t nobody feeling me //
A and R’s wouldn’t even risk demo-dealing me //
Can you believe that shit? //
That’s how it was back then //

[Canibus]
Yo //
I know most the niggas I exchange pounds with or lounge with //
Wouldn’t be around if my career was spiralling downwards //
They’d crowd around me ‘till I’m surrounded //
Ask me who I’m down with, ‘till I replied, the navy seals outfit //
They told me my album was coconuts so they rewound it //
I knew they was hypnoholics by how their voices sounded //
I pull a silver can out of my trousers //
Paid a public announcement about the hype juice and then I bounced kid //

[Canibus]
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 pamphlet for you to read through //
Eight hundred, seven, nine, three, two //
There’ll be available hypnoholics standing by for you to speak to //
