(Goes into some session) 
Female Vocalists (singing): 
Hypnytis is in your eyes, that look, that smile in disguise. 
Canibus: 
Ayo, 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 
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 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 
Can you believe that shit? 
That's how it was back then 
Ayo, I know most the niggas 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 
Till 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 
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'll be available hypnoholics standing by for you to speak to
