Aids Is Gold, Hiv Is Platinum Lyrics - Canibus

[canibus] 

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
