(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 itâ??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 healinâ??
    F                G                C
For past and present future things to come


             (C)                       C7
I see people stressinâ??, 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 Iâ??ve been searching
      F                 G              C
And I suppose each will find their own kind


                 (C)                            C7
Well everythingâ??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 letâ??s just face it, the worldâ??s fuckinâ?? 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 woundinâ??
        F                G                 C
Has its moments, has its melodies, has its time


           C                         C7
Well I was listeninâ?? to the outgoing seasons
      F                              C  G
About climate change and some of the reasons
             C                      C7
When the sky opened, like Iâ??ve been hopinâ??
               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                C    C/B  Am
They sang, â??Donâ??t waste your ha - a - te,
        F             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 donâ??t be nervous
           F                C
You can do this; youâ??ve got purpose
G         F            C
Find your medicine and use it.�


            F                C    C/B  Am
They sang, â??Donâ??t waste your ha - a - te,
        F             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 donâ??t be nervous
           F                C
You can do this; youâ??ve got purpose
G         F            C
Find your medicine and use it.�
