Papoose - Cure lyrics

feat. Erykah Badu I was born in a human body, I am 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 your lungs I can develop in your stomach and be that small But I'll grow to the size of a basketball Man, you can ignore me and pa** it on You'll be a statistic and the casket gone I could be a sharp pain that you feel in your spine I could be a brain tumor on the back of your mind I'll even be in your food if you're eating that swine Don't go to the doctors, though, you'll never catch me in time I done cause some strong men to lose their strength sponsored links Even caused some pretty women to lose their breath Only God know the cure and to whom he bless Is the chosen, he chose the best I'm a physical enemy here to bring miserable treachery I can affect him, her, they or them and me One small woman got a check up regularly They burned me out of her body with chemotherapy If you come late, I deflate your energy Take all of your hair and erase your memory I can shorten your life if you're living it long Even took a black queen named Vivienne 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 gangsters who think I can't get in your body I even claimed the life of mobster John Gotti Have you had a check-up? If no is your answer Then let me introduce myself, my name is Cancer He rides to it, don't stress a lot Put protection on if he's in your home He rides to it, don't stress a lot Put protection on if he's in your home The prettiest woman in here blows long in the wind Even sip when she wasn't soft as her skin Teeth look like ivory, pleasant as a beach Breasts like two watermelons ripe as a peach On the outside s**y 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, get you in the V And she don't like condoms, she s**ing for free So if you ever met her, get tested for me Every single day I add names to my dying list My epidemic is strong like an iron fist You should check your body fluids, that's where I exist Can travel through saliva, I hope you like the kiss You can't get rid of me, you can cry and wish It's no denying this, I insist He said I was born in Africa but he's a lying b**h I was born in the laboratory, my father is a scientist You can't contact me if you walk in the bathroom Or if you talk to your cla**mate in your cla**room You never see me coming, I'm smooth as jazz tune Not airborne, I pa** moves But you should make sure they clean the needle When you getting 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 named Easy E If you have a lot of s** you should have some condoms 'Cause you can live with me, ask Magic Johnson I enter your body with one a**umed mission That's only to break down your immune system Become sick easy 'cause you're not immune And I can pa** over through any open wound So make sure you put a band-aid on your cut Before you shake another man's hand, saying 'what's up?' I'm physical and visible, you can't feel me Medicine, I'm invincible, you can't k** me AIDS is my name, don't get it wrong And it stands for acquired immune deficiency syndrome He rides to it, don't stress a lot Put protection on if he's in your home He rides to it, don't stress a lot Put protection on if he's in your home This drug addict named Raj, he's infected with my evil Had some new dope he wanna try with his people He said 'go ahead, try it, it's some brand new diesel' That's when I found myself traveling through a needle Don't even know what he get into, it's a shame Tied his arm up and pump me right in his veins He had a lot of women, he was living the player's 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 A lot of people infected, it's a strong pity You got a jimmy hat? Then you should put on jimmy Let's protect ourselves, we should all, really I'm trying to live long, won't you live long with me? Suburbs to the city, sing this song with me He rides to it, don't stress a lot Put protection on if he's in your home He rides to it, don't stress a lot Put protection on if he's in your home He rides to it, don't stress a lot Put protection on if he's in your home
