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.
