Artist: Papoose f/ Erykah Badu Album: The Nacirema Dream Song: Cure Typed by: Gemini_20502K@Yahoo.com [Verse One: Papoose] I was born in the human body I'm deadly and dangerous The way I decrease life quality is outrageous But you don't gotta worry, I'm not contagious I'm genetic, I travel through your family for ages I could live in your daughter I could live in your son If you smoke cigarettes I could live in yourlungs I can develop in your stomach and be that small But I grow to the size of a basketball Now you can ignore me and try to pass it on You'll be a statistic and the casket gone I could be a sharp pain that you feel in your spine I can be a brain tumor on the back of your mind I'll even be in your food if you eatin that swine Don't go to the doctor so you never catch me in time I done cost some strong men to lose they strength Even cost some pretty women to lose they breast Only God know the cure and to whom he bless Is the chosen, he choose the best I'm a physical enemy here to bring miserable treachery I can affect him, her, they or them and me But one small woman got a check up randomly They burn me out of her body with chemotherapy If you come late I'll deflate your energy Take all of your hair and erase your memory I can shorten your life if you livin it long Even took a black queen name Vivian Strong If you don't go to the doctor that mean you support me The only way to stop me is to catch me early And gangstas who think I can't get in y'all body I even claimed the life of mobster John Gotti Have you ever had a checkup? If no is your answer Then let me introduce myself my name is cancer [Chorus: Erykah Badu] He rides to it, don't stress alot Put protection on, if he's in your home He rides to it, don't stress alot Put protection on, if he's in your home [Verse Two: Papoose] The prettiest woman out here blows long in the wind Even sip when she wasn't soft as her skin Teeth look like ivory pleasant as a beach Breast like two watermelons ripe like a peach On the outside, sexy as can be But on the inside she's infected with me She be up in every neighborhood dead on the street Give you her phone number give you head in the V And she don't like condoms she sexin for free So if you ever met her get tested for me Every single day I add names to my dyin list My epidemic is strong as an iron fist You should check your body fluids that's where I exist Can travel through saliva I hope you like to kiss You can't get rid of me you can cry and wish It's no denyin this Science says he says I was born in Africa but he's a lyin bitch I was born in the laboratory my father's a scientist You can't contact me if you walk in a bathroom Or if you talk to your classmate in your classroom You never see me comin, I'm smooth as a jazz tune Not airborne, I pass moves But you shuold make sure they clean the needle when you gettin them tattoos I'm the reason the word positive means bad news Idiotic if you don't believe in me Even took a great rapper name Eazy-E If you have alot of sex you should have some condoms 'Cause you could live with me ask Magic Johnson I enter your body with only one assumed mission That's only to break down your immune system Become sick easy 'cause you not immune And I can pass over through every open wound So make sure you put a Band-Aid on your cut Before you shake another man's hand sayin what's up I'm physical and visible, you can't feel me Medicine I'm invincible, you can't kill me AIDS is my name, don't get it wrong It stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) [Chorus: Erykah Badu] He rides to it, don't stress alot Put protection on, if he's in your home He rides to it, don't stress alot Put protection on, if he's in your home [Verse Three: Papoose] This drug addict name Raj is infected with my evil Got some new dope he wanna try with his people He said go 'head and try it, it's some brand new diesel That's when I found myself travelin through a needle Don't even know what he gettin into is a shame Tied in his arm up and pump me right in his vein He had alot of women was livin to play his life But he was married, he took me home to his wife Now she's a carrier who carries on with me His wife had a baby, the baby was born with me And I hope that you wouldn't take this song silly Alot of people infected, it's a strong pity You got a jimmy hat? Then put on Jimmy Let's protect ourselves, we should all really I'm tryin to live long won't you live long with me Suburbs to the city sing this song with me [Chorus: Erykah Badu] He rides to it, don't stress alot Put protection on, if he's in your home He rides to it, don't stress alot Put protection on, if he's in your home
