Canibus: Aids is gold, HIV is platinum

Yo yo, I just appeared outta nowhere, 1980 was the year Engineered as a biological weapon of warfare Now with this I generate with more fear Even though back then nobody cared and people wasn't as scared I never used to get so much attention Most of the top contenders at the time I was good friends with For instance my man small pox was hot He used to SoundScan ten thousand a week and that was a lot That nigga Hepatitis B, he was hyper than me He used to get between twelve and twenty thousand a week Alcohol was the neighborhood star Bubbling, drugs had niggaz juggling All kinds of controlled substances My man cancer was like Charles Manson Cigarettes almost made the Surgeon General ban them Homicide was buggin cause he had guns to amp them And I was on the low amp cause I had a plant kid Chorus: Canibus and Lisa Stone (repeat 2X) Aids is gold and HIV was platinum Sit down, ask them where you get your facts from Five hundred thousand niggaz in the hood with it And a million more niggaz is gettin ready to get it [Canibus] Yo, yo, now that millions is dead I'm considered widespread Number one on the top ten and considered a world wide threat To all the kids, thirteen to twenty-three tryin Sex, unsafe sex, you niggaz need to use latex H-I-V will progress to A-I-D-S And transform your warm blooded bones to dry flesh By stressing the immune system Promiscuous men and women trying to avoid getting the micro-organism in them from running up in it raw Ready and willing, a couple of minutes of a good feeling is what'll kill them Break ya body down in steps, breath for breath In the hospital wit less then a dozen T-cells left Chorus [Canibus] Yo I went from "Killing Them Softly" to killing them harshly Minorities from twenty to forty can't afford to ignore me They do my dirty work for me - goin to raunchy ass parties where they be havin orgies to transport me Through the semen and blood, needles and drugs Choose which one of the two demons in evil you trust Cause the only way I could be detected is by getting tested and most people don't question the person they having sex with as to whether or not they infected Even the people you already slept wit wouldn't suspect that they can catch it Forty percent of the AIDS patients is Afro-Americans And we only twelve percent of the population That statement is a fact, latinos and blacks face it It came straight from the World Health Organization Its the iron fist, scientist, slash rhyme-chiatrist Here to diagnose that we dyin quick Chorus 2X
