A disease is an abnormal condition affecting the body of an organism. It is often construed to be a medical condition associated with specific symptoms and signs. It may be caused by external factors, such as infectious disease, or it may be caused by internal dysfunctions, such as autoimmune diseases. In humans, "disease" is often used more broadly to refer to any condition that causes pain, dysfunction, distress, social problems, or death to the person afflicted, or similar problems for those in contact with the person. In this broader sense, it sometimes includes injuries, disabilities, disorders, syndromes, infections, isolated symptoms, deviant behaviors, and atypical variations of structure and function, while in other contexts and for other purposes these may be considered distinguishable categories. Diseases usually affect people not only physically, but also emotionally, as contracting and living with many diseases can alter one's perspective on life, and their personality.
Death due to disease is called death by natural causes. There are four main types of disease: pathogenic disease, deficiency disease, hereditary disease, and physiological disease.
Ask a little girl if she wants a piece of candy
And you'll find yourself in front of a lynch mob or a jury
And they'll read the riot act along with your Miranda warning
And no one's come to bail you out
And it's already morning
CHORUS
But you've got to chalk it up to paranoid society
No one lets you get too close
Coz they don't wanna catch your disease
A White girl loves a Black boy and her parents can't believe it
Coz they still believe all good girls don't even try to dream it
His parents are no better coz they still believe the myth
If you're born a certain color
That's the color you should be with
CHORUS
What do you do when your disease is someone else's ignorance
What do you do when your disease is someone else's hatred
