Medicine
B-Jay Banks Lyrics

The medicine man
The person who provides medicine

Got lots of friends
Well-known among people and has a lot of acquaintances

He’ll cure you right
He will treat you properly and heal you completely

But he plays two hands
However, he is deceitful and cannot be completely trusted

He say come right in
He invites people to come and see him for medical help

Cause it’s wounds I mend
He is an expert in treating injuries and illnesses

He gonna thread that needle
He will perform a procedure that requires attention and skill

But the string don’t end
The treatment process may be lengthy but there will be progress

He gonna stitch you up
He will repair and treat your wounds

Gonna heal you right
He will make sure that you are completely healed and in good health

He got the pills to relinquish
He has the medication that can remove physical pain and discomfort

The pain of your plight
The pain and suffering that you may be experiencing

The side effects
The unintended effects of the medication

May keep you up all night
May cause insomnia or discomfort during the night

But if it gets you down
If the medication has negative effects on you

Then he’ll get you high
He will prescribe drugs that can create a feeling of euphoria

He’ll help you beat your addiction
He will provide treatment to overcome an addiction

Then he’ll get you addicted
However, he is not always trustworthy and may get you addicted to other substances

Well here’s a prescription
Here is a medication prescription

No one could’ve predicted
Unforeseeable events may occur

The medicine man has come to town
The person who prescribes medicine has arrived in town

Got the happy pills
Has medication that can create a feeling of happiness

To go around
For everyone to share

Listen up dear folks
Pay attention people

Can you here that sound
Can you hear that noise

There’s a sale on the stuff
The medication is being sold at a discount rate

That’ll tear you down
That will have negative effects on you in the long run

The medicine man controls your life
The person prescribing the medications has control over your life

He prescribe to survive
He prescribes medicines to help you stay alive

He don’t end no strife
However, he cannot solve all your problems and conflicts

But he’ll help you beat your addiction
He can provide treatment to help you overcome your addiction

The medicine man is here to stay
The person prescribing the medications is going to be here for a while

But the medicine man don’t save the day
However, he cannot single-handedly solve all of your problems and save you from all harm
