[1st man]
That's gonna bring us back, you know. So yo, let's go work on this s***.
Ahh, y'all ready?

(Goes into some session)

[Chorus]
Hype-nitis is in your eyes, that look, that smile in disguise.

[Canibus]
Ah-yo, can you feel it?
I know that everybody's heard of that (Vapors)
But this is the 98 version of that
Biz Mark, one of the founders of this art

Discovered evidence of this disease and documented it
Now the name of the virus is called "hypnytis"
A terminal condition that effects all biters and liars
Hypnoholics can't require my respect

'Cause they snakes and I can smell the venom on their breath
Hypnytis

[Chorus]

Alright now, I'm about to break the hypnytis down
It's characterized by a certain type of lifestyle
People that treated you foul just want to 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 n****s was killing me, cause wasn't nobody feeling me
A&Rs wouldn't even risk demo-dealing me

Can you believe that s***?
That's how it was back then

[Chorus]

Ah-yo, I know most the n****s I exchange pounds with or lounge with
Wouldn't be around if my career was spiraling downward
They'd crowd around me till 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 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

[Chorus]

To me hypnytis is like the measles
'Cause it's a disease too
Studies show it affects 1 in every 5 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 8-page pamphlet for you to read through
800-7-9-3-2

There will be available hypnoholics standing by for you to speak to (echo)

[Chorus]
