Remedy
Witchdoctor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back to the frontline, resurrected this old skool shit
'Cause niggas still respect it, it's all cool shit
Kinda tight so I select it to flow on
So unexpected and so on, but damn that

I want to take a minute tram back with the mainstream
Playing field where the main team kill bodies
And wannabe John Gottis shoulda been Zulu
But who knew but too few in my crew

And the rest didn't listen now some of the best is missing
Some of the rest is dissing, some of your chest is missing
Some of your views is changing, but none of your time remaining
It's a goddam shame a lot of fake niggas claim heaven sent

But me, I'm hell bent on destruction of the mass constructions
Of the mass destruction, of my ass restructuring
Of the past reflecting off the last injection
This cause and effect is known as infection





Made it known being prone to our own demise is imminent
I sure hope we leave a remnant

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Witchdoctor's song Remedy are a reflection on the state of the music industry and the impact it has had on the hip-hop genre. The first few lines of the song indicate that the artist is returning to old-school hip-hop as it is still respected by fans. The artist then reflects on the mainstream playing field that is dominated by a few top teams that kill the competition. The artist appears to have been part of a crew that didn't make it to the top and some of the crew members are now missing or dissing.


The artist then takes a critical view of the many fake artists who claim to be heaven-sent but are really just out to make money. The artist appears to be not interested in making money but to instead destroy the mass constructions of the music industry. The last few lines of the song are a hopeful reflection on leaving a remnant after the destruction. The song is a call to action for the artist and the hip-hop genre to stay true to its roots and resist the influence of mainstream music.
