(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.�
