(C) C7
This is real talk, this is non-stop
It is a Floop now tongue and CmiGnd
Played off the Csidewalk, straight to your C7boom-box
How it Ftravels from ear to CmemGory
Well this is Cmedicine, there is a C7message within
And Feach will find it Gin their own Ctime
(C) C7
This is music, this is how I use it
It makes you Fmove and move the CmoveGment
This is how I Cfocus, knowing it’s noC7t hopeless
F C G (hold out)
But it sure starts with me and ends on a whole note
Musical Cmedicine, this is my C7healin’
For Fpast and present Gfuture things to Ccome
(C) C7
I see people stressin’, over space and possession
Out of Ffear and a need for visual aids of our CabunGdance
Give me Cexamples, or something C7tangible
Something FI can get my hands on and find real CmeaGning
Where is the Cmedicine? Well I’ve beeC7n searching
And I Fsuppose each will Gfind their own Ckind
(C) C7
Well everything’s at stake, it makes it hard to concentrate
And there are Fmen who see a war and see a CpayGcheck
Such different Cprogramming, to live so C7fearfully
Terror Fthis, and terror that, terrible CreaGlity
There is no Cmedicine on the C7television
So Fturn it off and Gturn yourself Caround
(C) C7
And let’s just face it, the world’s fuckin’ racist
Even the most Fpeaceful of us gets caught in the CtrGend
To live Ccohesively is almost a C7fantasy
F C G (hold out)
And we gotta know it starts with humbling our egos
What is the Cmedicine, for cultural C7woundin’
Has its Fmoments, has its Gmelodies, has its Ctime
Well I was Clistenin’ to the outgoinC7g seasons
About Fclimate change and some of the CreaGsons
When the sky Copened, like I’ve beeC7n hopin’
And there came Fhorses by the CthousGands
And there was Cthunder on their tongues, and lightning on their C7minds
And they were Fsinging this old Gmelody from some Cother time
They sang, ?F??Don’t waste yCour hC/Ba - aAm - te,
Rather, Fgather and creCa -C/B a - Amte
Be a Fservice, be a sensible Gperson
Use your Cwords andC/B don’t bAme nervous
You can do Fthis; you’ve goCt purpose
GFind your Fmedicine and Cuse it.”
