E|----------3------------|
(C) C7
This is real talk, this is non-stop
F C G
It is a loop now tongue and mind
C C7
Played off the sidewalk, straight to your boom-box
F C G
How it travels from ear to memory
C C7
Well this is medicine, there is a message within
F G C
And each will find it in their own time
(C) C7
This is music, this is how I use it
F C G
It makes you move and move the movement
C C7
This is how I focus, knowing it’s not hopeless
F C G (hold out)
But it sure starts with me and ends on a whole note
C C7
Musical medicine, this is my healin’
F G C
For past and present future things to come
(C) C7
I see people stressin’, over space and possession
F C G
Out of fear and a need for visual aids of our abundance
C C7
Give me examples, or something tangible
F C G
Something I can get my hands on and find real meaning
C C7
Where is the medicine? Well I’ve been searching
F G C
And I suppose each will find their own kind
(C) C7
Well everything’s at stake, it makes it hard to concentrate
F C G
And there are men who see a war and see a paycheck
C C7
Such different programming, to live so fearfully
F C G
Terror this, and terror that, terrible reality
C C7
There is no medicine on the television
F G C
So turn it off and turn yourself around
(C) C7
And let’s just face it, the world’s fuckin’ racist
F C G
Even the most peaceful of us gets caught in the trend
C C7
To live cohesively is almost a fantasy
F C G (hold out)
And we gotta know it starts with humbling our egos
C C7
What is the medicine, for cultural woundin’
F G C
Has its moments, has its melodies, has its time
C C7
Well I was listenin’ to the outgoing seasons
F C G
About climate change and some of the reasons
C C7
When the sky opened, like I’ve been hopin’
F C G
And there came horses by the thousands
C C7
And there was thunder on their tongues, and lightning on their minds
F G C
And they were singing this old melody from some other time
F G C C/B Am
They sang, “Don’t waste your ha - a - te,
F G C C/B Am
Rather, gather and crea - a - te
F G
Be a service, be a sensible person
C C/B Am
Use your words and don’t be nervous
F G C
You can do this; you’ve got purpose
F G C
Find your medicine and use it.”
F G C C/B Am
