Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
well this is real talk, this is non-stop
Ab Ab Eb Eb Bb Bb
it is looped now tongue and mind
Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
played off the sidewalk, straight to your boombox
Ab Ab Eb Eb Bb Bb
how it travels from ear to memory
Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
well this is medicine, there's a message within
Ab Ab Bb Bb Eb Eb
and each will find it in their own time


Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
well this is music, this is how I use it
Ab Ab Eb Eb Bb Bb
It makes you move and move the movement
Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
this is how I focus, knowing it's not hopeless
Ab Ab Eb Eb Bb Bb
but it sure starts with me and ends on a whole note
Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
musical medicine, this is my healing
Ab Ab Bb Bb Eb Eb
for past and present future things to come


Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
I see people stressin' over space and possessions
Ab Ab Eb Eb Bb Bb
out of fear and a need for visual aids of our abundance
Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
give me examples or something tangible
Ab Ab Eb Eb Bb Bb
something I can get my hands on and find real meaning
Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
where is the medicine? well I've been searching
Ab Ab Bb Bb Eb Eb
and I suppose each will find their own kind


Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
well everything's at stake, it makes it hard to concentrate
Ab Ab Eb Eb Bb Bb
and there are men who see a war and see a paycheck
Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
Such different programming, to live so fearfully
Ab Ab Eb Eb Bb Bb
terror this and terror that terrible reality
Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
there is no medicine on the television
Ab Ab Bb Bb Eb Eb
so turn it off and turn yourself around


Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
and let's just face it, the world's fuckin' racist
Ab Ab Eb Eb Bb Bb
even the most peaceful of us gets caught in the trend
Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
to live cohesively is almost a fantasy
Ab Ab Eb Eb Bb Bb
and we ought to know it starts with humbling our egos
Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
what is the medicine for cultural woundin'?
Ab Ab Bb Bb Eb Eb
has it's moments has it's melodies has it's time


Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
well I was listening to the outgoing seasons
Ab Ab Eb Eb Bb Bb
about climate change and some of the reasons
Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
when the sky opened like I been hopin'
Ab Ab Eb Eb Bb Bb
and there came horses by the thousands
Eb Eb Eb7 Eb7
and there was thunder on their tongues, and lightning on their minds
Ab Ab Bb Bb Eb Eb
and they were singing this old melody from some other time

Ab Ab Bb Bb Eb Eb Cm Cm
they sang don't waste your hate
Ab Ab Bb Bb Eb Eb Cm Cm
rather gather and create
Ab Ab Bb Bb
be of service, be a sensible person
Eb Eb Cm Cm
use your words and don't be nervous
Ab Ab Bb Bb Eb Eb
you can do this, you've got purpose
Ab Ab Bb Bb Eb Eb
find your medicine and use it
An Bb Bb Eb Eb Cm Cm
they sang don't waste your hate
Ab Ab Bb Bb Eb Eb Cm Cm
rather gather and create
Ab Ab Bb Bb
be of service, be a sensible person
Eb Eb Cm Cm
use your words and don't be nervous
Ab Ab Bb Bb Eb Eb
you can do this, you've got purpose
AB Bb Bb Eb Eb
find your medicine and use it
