Fallen Angels
Remedy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Movie Sample]
It's been in the seventies
Matters and reports on the streets
That new laws are needed at every level
But war alone cannot make men see right
We are confronted primarily with a moral issue
But part of the question is whether all Americans
Are to be alloted equal rights and equal oppurtunities
Whether we are going to treat our fellow Americans as we want to be treated

[Intro: Remedy]
Dedicated, I came with the offerin
You know who it's for

[Chorus: Remedy]
For the +Fake MC's+ that swear they can rap
For all those cats that love to talk yak
For all those white kids who wanna be black
Yo love is still love y'all +I Gotcha Back+

[Remedy]
This is Remedy, remote mind devices, my advice is priceless
The Devil got you chained in vices, the crisis
Will surface, your purpose is worthless
Attack on ya nervous, frontal lobe +Short Circuits+
The choices, the unheard voices
Comin from inside ya head, internally bled, red
Mislead and mentally dead, walkin
You said what you said, yo you was born to be talkin
I know about ya kind, ya state and frame of mind
Weakened deaf, dumb and blinds, you look but never find
The evil that men do, yo Satan is in you
The tempter of man, release the negative if you plan to continue
Your ways and actions, reactions, thought processin patterns
Not logical, can't defeat the obstical
Understand, +I Ain't Mad at 'Cha+
Got to do what I can, throw my pen and my pad at ya

[Chorus]

[Chorus 2: Remedy]
To my hustlers on the corner, sell ya blow and ya crack
For the so-called Gods livin right and exact
Yo, positive and negative, opposites attract
Love is still love y'all +I Gotcha Back+

[Hook: Remedy]
I be the Sun and the rain, the +Pleasure and Pain+
The light inside the dark, I could never explain
I be the Sun and the rain, the +Pleasure and Pain+
The light inside the dark, I could never explain

[Remedy]
Fallen Angels are cast out of Heaven until
Created good became evil on ya own free will
No more, never taught, uncontrollable thought
Keep comin up short, happines cannot be bought
Remedy Ross, great centrifrical force
You'll never learn, born to burn, in the fire
Take my kindness for weakness, humble and meakness
Those who speak don't know so I stay speechless
Any man disrespects deserves and gets what he gets
The most merciful forgives but he never forgets
Yo I don't need no friends, loose ends turned enemy
I weed out the fake, yes through process I Remedy
Eventually ya physcially trapped and strapped mentally
Love is still love though, +Death Be the Penalty+

[Chorus]
[Chorus 2]

[Remedy]
Heavenly grounded with no plans of fallin
+Never Again+, +Never Again+, that's my callin
No time for stallin, jet pack, acrobat raps, Venus fly traps
Buy that, base snare, kickin a high hat
Warfare apparell, in my path walk narrow
A buck-seventy-five pounds raw, laser arrow
Seal team six, always speak with our hands
Disrupts plans and carry out commands
Want to dance with the spoken word and holy tongue?
The Unsung Heroes of the Shaolin slums
Heavens to mercy, lightning shall strike those who curse me
Do not say thy name in vain, analyze the wise, it's the guides
False tense and pretense, offense and defense
The lead current sequence

[Chorus]
[Chorus 2]

[Movie Sample]
The great kings have a task, and our task
Our obligation is to make that revolution, that change
Peaceful and constructive to all




Those who do nothing are inviting shame as well as violence
Those who act boldly are recognizing right as well as reality

Overall Meaning

The song "Fallen Angels" by Remedy features a sample from an ambiguous movie dialogue about the need for new laws and equal rights for all Americans, highlighting the moral issues faced by society. The song then shifts to Remedy dedicating his words to specific groups of people, beginning with fake MCs who claim they can rap but only talk yak. He advises listeners to recognize the devil's chains in which they are trapped, with crisis upon them and the purpose of their lives rendered worthless, causing a mental breakdown. They are misled and mentally weakened, and while they look for something, they never find any significant change or meaning. Remedy calls out Satan residing within men and prompts everyone to release negativity to continue with the world's existing problems. To help others comprehend their ways and behavior, Remedy advises some positivity and criticizes those who show disrespect as enemies. He ends his verse by telling listeners that love is still love, and death could be the penalty.


Remedy then dedicates his words to hustlers on the street, who sell drugs and live by street codes. He explains thinking patterns and the duality of positive and negative energy, and then he defines himself as the balance between the light and the dark. Although he admits to being heavenly grounded, he keeps remaking his calling to never stall and keep working even under adverse circumstances. In the last verse, he exudes confidence in his abilities as he regards himself as the unsung hero of Shaolin. He warns those who disrespect him to get what they deserve, or he uses his words and holy tongue to strike them down.
