The First Line - Donny (The Watcher – Dr Dre)
Things just ain’t the same for microbes
Times are changing no more penetration
External barriers are keeping me waiting
Unless I can find my way into a scrape
But the strangest things can happen with skin
When people get cut up and aren’t so intact
Then people get infected and wrap up in blankets
At home sick when it happens that’s it
Acidic sweat, pH about four, I’ve watched microbes die to this, dude its just way too damn low.
I’ve watched the sebaceous give them the blow
First line is killer man you don’t even know
VZV and strepto I’ve lost em both
But we’ve put many people in the hospital
Giving rashes and sores all across the globe
I’ll hand it over to my homie strepto
Streptococcus Pharyngitis - Shubin (Xxplosive – Dr Dre)
I get in the throat and make you cough up gack
I’m a spherical bacteria releasing poison that harms
Now times are tough cause the first layer no bomb
Mucous membranes layers of cilia
Trying to get me stuck in mucus and push me back
Out of bodily openings like the mouth and nose
Where I could do harm
Antimicrobial proteins making a complement system that cuts me up
I ain’t gonna last long
Humoral System - Donny & Shubin (Regulators – Warren G feat. Nate Dogg)
It was a rich red blood, a clear white lymph
Helper t was on the flow trying to detect
Some macrophages, clearing out the junk
Of foreign antigens, when I’m alone
Just hit inner side I’m a WBC
On a mission just to find a helper T
I’m part of the humoral system so I’m a B
All you pathogens know whats up with antibodies
So I hook a left on the pharynx with fluid
A macrophage fighting microbes, they might lose it
I picked up the antigen & said whats up
Some streptos pulled some antigens so I said “I’m the stuff”
I’ve got antibodies in the bag to throw at this perv
Ill make my receptor fit his curve
Watching, seeing if I can fix these tricks
I see a helper T and pathogens in this mix
I’m getting wacked I can’t protect myself
I can’t believe their trashing bodily health
I freaked out and released my interleukins-2
I said shoot what should I do
They got my homey hemmed up and they all around
I sense interleukin 2 so I turn around
I recognize the antigen they ain’t no clown
I best shoot my antibodies and lay these busters down
They got toxins in the throat
I think I’m going down
I can’t believe this is happening I’m gonna frown
If I were sperm I would swim
Let me contemplate
I glance through the puss and see a humoral B.
Million antibodies in the clip and one in the hole
Humoral B cell gonna make some microbes turn cold
Now their clumping and lysing, it’s a tad bit late
Humoral B and Helper T had to regulate
(pause)
I laid all those strep down
With five types of antibodies total
Now I’m rapidly diving into plasma mode
This infection gonna be controlled just observe
One cell will become a memory for the second surge
