This is real talk, this is non-stop
It is a loop now tongue and mind
Played off the sidewalk, straight to your boom-box
How it travels from ear to memory
Well this is medicine, there is a message within
And each will find it in their own time
This is music, this is how I use it
It makes you move and move the movement
This is how I focus, knowing itâ??s not hopeless
But it sure starts with me and ends on a whole note
Musical medicine, this is my healinâ??
For past and present future things to come
I see people stressinâ??, over space and possession
Out of fear and a need for visual aids of our abundance
Give me examples, or something tangible
Something I can get my hands on and find real meaning
Where is the medicine? Well Iâ??ve been searching
And I suppose each will find their own kind
Well everythingâ??s at stake, it makes it hard to concentrate
And there are men who see a war and see a paycheck
Such different programming, to live so fearfully
Terror this, and terror that, terrible reality
There is no medicine on the television
So turn it off and turn yourself around
And letâ??s just face it, the worldâ??s fuckinâ?? racist
Even the most peaceful of us gets caught in the trend
To live cohesively is almost a fantasy
And we gotta know it starts with humbling our egos
What is the medicine, for cultural woundinâ??
Has its moments, has its melodies, has its time
Well I was listeninâ?? to the outgoing seasons
About climate change and some of the reasons
When the sky opened, like Iâ??ve been hopinâ??
And there came horses by the thousands
And there was thunder on their tongues, and lightning on their minds
And they were singing this old melody from some other time
They sang, â??Donâ??t waste your ha - a - te,
Rather, gather and crea - a - te
Be a service, be a sensible person
Use your words and donâ??t be nervous
You can do this; youâ??ve got purpose
Find your medicine and use it.â?
