Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The pill to gab a nice date
I'm thrilled to get this laid on
I've spilled my last cradle song
Oh, you won't feel insecure
For sure
I've got the medicine, to suit the mood your in
My friend will let us in, no matter where we've been
I've got the antidote here
Go get a hit, eternal licks yeah
We'll fix a mixture now
Go get a hit, eternal licks yeah
We'll fix a mixture now
You've served your country so well
Usurped by their own personnel
On that, on that bombshell
Pray tell
I've got the medicine, to suit the mood your in
I've got the antidote here
My friend will let us in, no matter where we've been
I've got the antidote here
Go get a hit, eternal licks yeah

The lyrics of Morcheeba's song Antidote speak of a medicine that can cure any ailment, and the singer assures the listener that they have it. The pill referred to in the first verses isn't a typical medication; instead, it is compared to the skill it takes to create a fix or a high, the thrill of which is expressed in the line "I'm thrilled to get this laid on." The singer's ability to supply a cradle song has ended, but the antidote isn't merely a band-aid; it is something that can cure all ills and make one feel secure "for sure."
In the second set of verses, the song seems to shift focus slightly, discussing the theme of being let down or betrayed by one's own people. The phrase "usurped by their own personnel" suggests someone who has been robbed of something they believed was theirs in their service to their country. The song ends with a call to action, where the listener is urged to "get a hit” of this antidote in the form of "eternal licks." The chorus repeats the message that the antidote is available and ready to cure all ailments.

Nas’ love for Slick Rick is beautiful!
@YaboiTombuto
Me and Nas bring it to ya hardest 🔥🔥🔥
@alienkomplex7727
Because Slick was a great story teller. Nas likes to write stories also so it makes sense.
@thefearofg0ds758
I've noticed that he views Slick Rick how most people view him. And he views Kool G and Rakim how others view Big and Pac. His struggling with that Slick Rick choice would be me struggling to choose between I Gave You Power, Made You Look, Rewind, Get Down, Blaze A 50 etc lol
@ThePsychicFish
Right
@thedfferencetab1977
They need more records together
@davekrebo7180
Nas is a rappers rapper, he’s not doing it for sales or fame, you can tell he just loves the craft, true artist.
@bottlewaddle6677
Saw him last night....damn
@toniofelton1260
Fr he’s my favorite rapper of all-time
@mrj2875
I mean he has tried the fame route, he's just not as marketable as some of the pop stars
