Music Medication

1st Verse
I’m a soul that has lifted / a ghetto kid that’s gifted
This is past informal / membership is formal abnormal to the normal, but normal to the global movement of resistance that I existed in.

It’s more than just a hobby, it’s a practice on the daily
Of course that it’s a passion, but it’s also my responsibility. Reflections of society mirrors of my sanity. This is where my inspiration is, I pledge myself whole-heartedly.

I give into my passion this is not a fashion /
It isn’t seasonal making music is not an option.
Music in the family it’s been through generations.
Who can ever blame them when they had the right intention?

Don’t make the same mistake twice, instead get an education. I didn’t put it down instead it turned into an obsession. Music and education means to me true preparation...and it feels alright to provide for some in a time of desperation!

2nd Verse
To enlighten the mind to bring you closer to the thing you’re trying to find /to help and assist when you’re caught up in a bind / to help you think twice before you sign the dotted line music is the motivation.

It’s been clear that the music is strong I put on my headphone cause the answer is on Whether for fun or sadness or want the day to be done I, I, I, I, quickly change the song before the feeling is gone.

Engulfed in the body of the masses channeling energy walking in the darkness to know it here is what the code is / I bring with me something that is righteous...music, music, music use it, music is here and around you. The feeling you get priceless!

It’s relieved my toughest day anger and frustration
It’s my ice cream cone, it’s my meal, it’s my thrill
It’s my home away from home, it’s my seed, it’s pill
It’s my life captured on a still music is my medication!
