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

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

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

yo

i went from killing them softly" to killing them harshly
