Remedy
Busta Rhymes; Chris Brown; Snoop Lion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing left for the enemy
When the show goes down
And you silence the melody
(That's when you say)
I'll be that sound boy inna L.A.
Rude boy inna Kingston
Bad boy inna New England
I ain't got the remedy
But when they root for me
You see I'm what they see
I'm living in the sin it's how it's gonna be
I heard the boy is sinnin' and they die for me
Wadadadang wadadadadang
Well you coming on the dance
And now we shaped up our game
Wadadadang wadadadadang
And you know we never ever stop
Beat them to the end
See them on top on them
Willin them, killing them
And then one after
See it
Run to it when nobody asked to be drop off
When we on my bred Snoop Lion
Meets his blessing love and honor
To what we are apart
And to what we are even
You know say it all we all prosper
News flash pick a little ash
Every website and blog
Snoop and Busta in the studio
Hanging out here, get a little bit of snap on
Don't ever get it twisted
See we gifted when together
Reincarnated Snoop Lion, Selassie I forever
I ain't got the remedy
But when they root for me
You see I'm what they see
I'm living in the sin it's how it's gonna be
I heard the boy is sinnin' and they die for me
Somebody help me wake up
And make it rain on my head
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain on my head
Set it free, so complete, everything has come to ending
Let it breathe
When the background clears
And you're the one standing there
You're running out of time
You're praying that you make a hit
Whatever they do, whatever they do to you
Whatever they say, whatever they say to you too bad
Sound off inna Paris
Roll call inna Lebanon
Bandoleros inna Mexico
Can you hear me, the whole kingdom
I ain't got the remedy
But when they root for me
You see I'm what they see
I'm living in the sin it's how it's gonna be
I heard the boy is sinnin' and they die for me
Somebody help me wake up
And make it rain on my head
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain on my head
Set it free, so complete, everything has come to ending
Let it breathe
The song Remedy by Busta Rhymes, Chris Brown and Snoop Lion explores the theme of perseverance and overcoming adversity despite not having a solution to one's problems. The first verse talks about being the sound boy in Los Angeles, a rude boy in Kingston, a bad boy in New England, and owning the whole kingdom of New York. The chorus echoes the sentiment of not having a remedy for one's troubles, but still being what people want to see and hear. The song culminates in a call to let go and set things free, despite the uncertainty of the future.
The lyrics feature several references to different places and cultures, highlighting the worldwide appeal of the song. The use of patois in the verses adds to the multicultural vibe. The chorus, with its repetition and simple melody, makes the song catchy and easy to sing along to. Chris Brown's vocals are particularly soulful, complemented by Snoop Dogg's smooth rapping and Busta Rhymes' lyrical flow.

When it's over now
When everything is said and done
Nothing left for the enemy
The enemy has been defeated and there's nothing more to fight for
When the show goes down
When the performance ends
And you silence the melody
When you stop singing and the music stops
(That's when you say) I'll be that sound boy inna L.A.
I'll be the one providing the sound in Los Angeles
Rude boy inna Kingston
I'll be the disrespectful one in Kingston
Bad boy inna New England
I'll be the troublemaker in New England
New York the whole kingdom
The kingdom belongs to me in New York
I ain't got the remedy
I don't have the solution to the problem
But when they root for me
But when they support me
You see I'm what they see
They see me as I am
I'm living in the sin it's how it's gonna be
I'm living a life of sin and that's how it's always going to be
I heard the boy is sinnin' and they die for me
I heard that people are willing to die for me even though I'm living a life of sin

Nonsensical chorus
Well you coming on the dance
When you start dancing
And now we shaped up our game
And now we've improved our performance
And you know we never ever stop
And you know we never stop
Beat them to the end
We will defeat them completely
See them on top on them
They will rise to the top
Willin them, killing them
We will overcome them and defeat them
And then one after, see it
And then one after the other, you'll see it happening
Run to it when nobody asked to be drop off
People come to us even when they weren't invited
When we on my bred Snoop Lion
When Snoop Lion and I are together
Meets his blessing love and honor
We are grateful for our blessings
To what we are apart
To what makes us different
And to what we are even
And to what makes us are the same
You know say it all we all prosper
We'll all succeed together

Reincarnated Snoop Lion, Selassie I forever
Snoop Lion has been reincarnated and will live forever
Somebody help me wake up
I need someone to help me wake up

Let the rain fall on me
Set it free, so complete, everything has come to ending
Be free, everything has come to an end
