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
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
The hype-nitis is in your eyes
That look, that smile, in disguise
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
The hype-nitis is in your eyes
That look, that smile, in disguise
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
The hype-nitis is in your eyes
That look, that smile, in disguise
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 to read through
(800)-7932 , there'll be available hype-no-holics
Standin' by for you to speak to
The hype-nitis is in your eyes
That look, that smile, in disguise
The hype
