But I ain't been feeling it lately
You say you love keeping me fly but
Can't keep me from looking' so crazy
Come in at six in the mornin'
Where you been, where you been?
Who is that texting your phone?
Just a friend, just a friend (okay)
There's nothing you can ever hide
Already got the screenshots
So there is no need to deny
You been creepin' and freakin' and sneakin'
Like you'll never lose me
Steady claiming that everyone know we together
But you steady choosing
Swear I cannot win for losing
I been out here being faithful
I always got this on lockdown
But that ain't been keeping us stable
So I guess I know what I gotta do
Give you a taste of your own medicine (hey, yeah)
How would you like it if I do the things you do
Put you on do not disturb and entertain these dudes
I'ma ride him crazy and you'll never have a clue
Give another guy everything that belongs to you
I'ma call up Brian, I'ma FaceTime Ryan
I'ma text Lorenzo and I'ma leave you cryin'
Don't get it twisted I can play this game too
How would you like it if I did the same to you, same to you, yeah?
You don't like it
Now you telling' me that I should fight it
Why you be out here playing the victim
When I am the one who been cryin'?
Why dish it out but can't take it?
I want revenge, I can't fake it
Wanna see the look on your face
When I drop my clothes and I get naked
Not for you, but for him
Now tell me player, how does that make you feel?
How could you play me when the love I gave was real?
I even took you back and you still had no chill (no)
Boy you ain't gon' ever learn
Play with fire you get burned
I don't think you'll understand
'Til I hit you where it hurts (hit you where it hurts)
So I guess I know what I gotta do
Give you a taste of your own medicine, hey yeah
How would you like it if I do the things you do (do the things you do)
Put you on do not disturb and entertain these dudes (entertain these dudes)
I'ma ride him crazy and you'll never have a clue
Give another guy everything that belongs to you (that belongs to you)
I'ma call up Brian, I'ma FaceTime Ryan
I'ma text Lorenzo, and I'ma leave you cryin'
Don't get it twisted I can play this game too
How would you like it if I did the same to you, same to you, yeah?
All of those tears I cried
I can't count the lonely nights
Time and time again I've tried
So when I turn into a savage, boy, don't ask me why
Ask me why, don't ask me why, yeah
Give you a taste of your own medicine
The lyrics of Queen Naija's "Medicine" tell the story of a woman who has been cheated on by her partner, despite his constant profession of love for her. She confronts him about his infidelities, revealing that she has screenshots of his conversations with other women. The singer is hurt and angry, and decides to give her partner a taste of his own medicine. She plans to do exactly what he has been doing to her - flirting with other people behind his back. The song shifts from a ballad-like track to a more upbeat, confident final chorus as Queen Naija asserts her power and seeks revenge.
The song resonates with a lot of people who have been cheated on and betrayed by their partners. It speaks to the pain and anger that comes with being lied to and deceived. By turning the tables on her partner, Queen Naija regains control and proves to herself that she is worthy of love and respect. The song's overall message is one of empowerment and self-love.

You have conveyed your love for me verbally
But I ain't been feeling it lately
Your actions don't align with your words, and I don't feel loved
You say you love keeping me fly but
You claim to enjoy pampering and taking care of me, but
Can't keep me from looking' so crazy
You can't prevent other people from making me look foolish or bad
Come in at six in the mornin'
You come home at 6 AM in the morning
Where you been, where you been?
I want to know your whereabouts
Who is that texting your phone?
I'm curious who is texting you
Just a friend, just a friend (okay)
You try to assure me that it's just a harmless friend

Give you a taste of your own medicine (hey, yeah)
I will reciprocate your disloyal and immoral behavior back to you
How would you like it if I do the things you do

Put you on do not disturb and entertain these dudes

I can't count the lonely nights
There were numerous nights where I felt alone and neglected
Time and time again I've tried
I have put in effort to save our relationship multiple times
So when I turn into a savage, boy, don't ask me why
So, when I become cold and ruthless, don't question why
Ask me why, don't ask me why, yeah
You have no right to ask me why I am behaving this way
Boy you ain't gon' ever learn
You will never understand or learn from your mistakes
Play with fire you get burned
If you continue with your disloyal behavior, you will face the consequences
I don't think you'll understand
I doubt that you will ever comprehend the gravity of what you have done
'Til I hit you where it hurts (hit you where it hurts)
Until I take severe actions that hurt you in return
So I guess I know what I gotta do
I have decided on what course of action to take
Give you a taste of your own medicine, hey yeah
I will make you experience the same betrayal as I have felt
