asthma rap (ft. the hygiene hypothesis) - tom mcfadden lyrics

verse 1:
it’s an asthma attack!
get em
so i cough, and i gasp, and i hack and i’m wheezing
asthma is the swelling of your airways and i’m telling ya
your neck is getting red because your body is rebelling
breathe in!
c-ckroach, dander, pollen
little inflammation, mucus blocking
bronchospasm. airway stoppage
this dog (-cough -cough) got me coughing. yup
bad…
i’m dying… this here is no party
that pollen’s in my airways
mast cells going cray cray. (gon’ lose it.)
histamines overreact
inflammation leads to too much mucus
one more attack!
so oxygen can’t get on down
my cells start choking and i fall to the ground. (mist ’em!)
i grab my inhaler meds come on out
and i do that so that my bronchioles shrink back down. (listen!)
since i’ve got that over-active i-m -m-u-n-e- system
have an inhaler though i’m fourteen. just another asthma victim
always keep inhalers in my backpack. attacks? missed ’em
albuterol puffs
now my mucous is glistening
open up those airways
alleviate symptoms
but what i don’t get
is just why this condition’s
more and more common
so now we’re on mission

chorus:
here comes an attack. airways are swollen
my lungs are inflamed, and my life might be over
and my airways swell up cuz i’m breathing in more dust
‘cause i’m breathing in more dust
here comes an attack. airways are swollen
but i’m gonna fight back. my life won’t be over
my airways open up, ’cause i’m breathing in more puffs
’cause i’m breathing in more puffs

verse 2: hygiene hypothesis
now. i ain’t sick yet, thank you
yup. immune cells grateful
i grew up rolled around in the mud
yeah health’s what you get when microbes raised you
here’s our theory
you kids spending way too much time with siri
so the things that you breathe cause immune cells to freak
’cause they never met platyhelminthes
why? is that why i achoo?
immune cells can’t fight, ’cause our old friends aren’t here, so immune cells gonna fight you
or dust or dander or pollen. now let’s all play in the dirt
that exposure to germs and worms will help keep the system in check. sing the song here’s the words
raise our kids with goats that are dirty
so that they can live life without being allergic
so we don’t have to be afraid that microbes are lurking
they’re our friends. and the keys to immune systems working
