Lyrics:

A song on Canibus' debut album about people with the virus “Hype-nitis.” When people suddenly want to be your friends only when your album is coming out and is selling.
Yo, what's up, what's up, son, what's up, yeah-yeah, you ready, what's up, what's up, son, what's up, what's the deal?
Alright, so all we gotta do is do the shit we been working on
When we add this new Canibus nigga, you know what I'm saying?
Niggas is gon' feel that nigga
Old to the new flow, old to the new
Let's go bring his back, so look, so let's work on this shit
You ready?
Two times from the top
I hold the mic (yeah!)
Real tight (yeah!)
Ayo, grab the mic and make the shit sound tight
Hold the mic (yeah!)
Real tight (yeah!)
Ayo, grab the mic and make the shit sound tight

The hype-nitis is in your eyes
That look, that smile in disguise

Ayo can you feel it? I know that everyone has heard of that
(Vapors) But this is the '98 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 affects all biters and liars
Hype-no-holics can't require my respect
'Cause they snakes and I could smell the venom on their breaths
Hype-Nitis

The hype-nitis is in your eyes
That look, that smile, in disguise

Alright now, I'ma 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&Rs wouldn't even risk demo dealing me

Hype (Can you believe that shit?)
Nitis (That's how it was back then)
Is in you eyes
That look, that smile in disguise

Ayo, I know most the niggas I exchange pounds with and lounge with
Wouldn't be around if my career was spiraling downward
They 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 pulled 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 infects 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 8 page pamphlet to read through
800-7932
There'll be available Hype-no-holics standing by for you to speak to

Hype-Nitis is in your eyes
That look, that smile in disguise
