"Medicine" lyrics
Beauty in the eye of the beholder
I was young, but only gettin' older
Only got a high school diploma
Got a lot of weight up on my shoulders
Did a year at college but I folded
Took the Verrazzano to get over
I was lucky like I found a clover
Was always the opposite of sober
Thinkin' 'bout my life and how things coulda been
If I stayed in school and I ain't rapped
Woulda prolly never traveled, got caught up in the ghetto
Fuckin' with the wrong fellas, get clapped
Police prolly woulda caught me walkin' 'round with the hammer
Throw my ass in the slammer, that's that
I try not to get attached to each dollar that I have
I'm so sick, you gon' need a hazmat
Play my cards right but it ain't Blackjack
Roll the dice like I'm 'bout to play Craps
I'm too nice, that's why I don't take crap
And success is my favorite payback
But I know when you cannot say jack
Hope one day I can get a Maybach
I need cheese like a Monterey Jack
They be lyin' and I'm talkin' straight facts (Fly)
Medicine, medicine
No, I cannot sleep without my medicine
No, I cannot breathe without my medicine
No, I cannot eat without my medicine
Medicine, medicine
No, I cannot eat without my medicine
No, I cannot sleep without my medicine
No, I cannot breathe without my medicine
Medicine, medicine
Medicine, medicine
No, I cannot breathe without my medicine
No, I cannot eat without my medicine
Medicine, medicine
Medicine, medicine
No, I cannot sleep without my medicine
No, I cannot breathe without my medicine
I'm pillin' enough, no, I don't need a pill
So much our young brothers that I've seen it kill
Some take it on flights and some pop it on drills
Some wanna be numb cause they don't wanna feel
Who am I to judge? 'Cause I smoke before meals
I fuck with the ganja 'cause I know it heals
Get my front' from Cali', way up in the hills
My hood filled with crackheads that's still smokin' krill
I can't judge 'em either, 'cause they from the era
Heard 'bout Reaganomics but I wasn't there
Some brothers made hustlin' to a career
Then they got locked up for the maximum years
Yes, pharmaceuticals all on our TV
These people too greedy, can see they don't care
But I think freely, won't take what they feed me
They tryna beat us usin' mental or fear (Fly)
Medicine, medicine
No, I cannot sleep without my medicine
No, I cannot breathe without my medicine
No, I cannot eat without my medicine
Medicine, medicine
No, I cannot eat without my medicine
No, I cannot sleep without my medicine
No, I cannot breathe without my medicine
I was young, but only gettin' older
Only got a high school diploma
Got a lot of weight up on my shoulders
Did a year at college but I folded
Took the Verrazzano to get over
I was lucky like I found a clover
