I hold the mic (YEAH) real tight (YEAH) 
And yo grab the mic and make the sh*t sound tight 
Hold the mic (YEAH) real tight (YEAH) 
And yo, grab the mic and make the sh*t sound tight 
 
Chorus: Jenny Fujita 
 
The hype.. nitis.. is in.. your eyes 
That look.. that smile.. in disguise {echoes} 
 
[Canibus] 
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 
 
Chorus 
 
[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 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 
 
{speaking over chorus} 
Can you believe that shit? That's how it was back then 
 
Chorus 
 
[Canibus] 
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 {echoes} 
 
Chorus 
 
[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 to read through 
(800)-7932 , there'll be available hype-no-holics  
standin by for you to speak to {echoes} 
 
Chorus 
 
[Jenny Fujita] 
The hype..
