Medicine
Xuitcasecity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just can't read you
Cause you don't show no love or devotion
Yet I still need you
And baby I will believe in us
And maybe that feeling ain't enough
Invisible emotions
I just can't read you
But you've been found before
And I've felt you're warmth
But now you done turn so cold
And no I won't give up
Cause I can't stop this feeling
I know that you need healing
Come on let me fix you I can be your
Medicine
Better than any of prescriptions
Yeah your medicine
Settle in and let me cleanse your system
And baby I will believe in us
And maybe that feeling ain't enough
Medicine
Better than any drug you've got
Had no feelings in the beginning was numb like morphine
Just a new addition to my inventory
First 24 like Kobe
Wasn't interested in hearing your life story
Until I got to kick it with you all day
Realized that I'd fuck with you the long way
Never get addicted to a drug that's what they all say
If you ever took a dose of what she got then you would parlay
Falling
Deeper yeah I'm falling
Never liked to gamble but somehow you got me all in
Making improvements now I'm perfecting up my flaws
And you heard i was a dog so that label got you cautious
Guarded, tell me what you guardin'
Armor like a spartan
Your heart is like a target
Arrows pointed at you then the sky would surely darken
Can you keep it 300 and tell me if you want this
Medicine
Better than any of prescriptions
Yeah your medicine
Settle in and let me cleanse your system
And baby I will believe in us
And maybe that feeling ain't enough
Medicine
Better than any drug you've got

Invisible emotions
I can’t see what you’re feeling
I just can’t read you
I can’t understand what’s going on with you
Cause you don’t show no love or devotion
You don’t express affection or commitment to me
Yet I still need you
Despite everything, I still want you
And baby I will believe in us
I have faith in our relationship
And maybe that feeling ain’t enough
But maybe that faith alone isn’t enough
No you’ve been lost
You used to be distant and detached
But you’ve been found before
But you’ve come back to me in the past
And I’ve felt you’re warmth
I’ve experienced your love before
But now you done turn so cold
But now you’re distant and unresponsive
And no I won’t give up
But I won’t give up on you
Cause I can’t stop this feeling
I can’t shut off my emotions
I know that you need healing
I know you’re going through something
Come on let me fix you I can be your
Let me help you, I can be the one to heal you
Medicine
I can be your remedy
Better than any of prescriptions
I am better for you than any medicine
Yeah your medicine
I can be the cure for what ails you
Settle in and let me cleanse your system
Relax and let me help you get rid of the bad
Had no feelings in the beginning was numb like morphine
I didn’t have feelings for you at first, but now I do
Just a new addition to my inventory
You were just another person I met
First 24 like Kobe
In the beginning, everything was going great
Wasn’t interested in hearing your life story
I didn’t care about your past at first
Until I got to kick it with you all day
Until I spent more time with you, I didn’t realize how much I liked you
Realized that I’d fuck with you the long way
I realized that I wanted a long-term relationship with you
Never get addicted to a drug that’s what they all say
People say you shouldn’t get too attached to anything
If you ever took a dose of what she got then you would parlay
But if you experienced what I have with her, you’d understand why I’m so invested
Falling
I’m falling in love
Deeper yeah I’m falling
I’m falling harder and harder each day
Never liked to gamble but somehow you got me all in
I never used to take risks, but now I’m all in with you
Making improvements now I’m perfecting up my flaws
I’m working on myself to be a better partner
And you heard I was a dog so that label got you cautious
You were hesitant to get involved with me because of my reputation
Guarded, tell me what you guardin'
You’re guarded, and I want to know why
Armor like a spartan
You’re protecting yourself like a warrior
Your heart is like a target
Your heart is vulnerable
Arrows pointed at you then the sky would surely darken
If you were hurt, it would affect everything around you
Can you keep it 300 and tell me if you want this
Can you be honest with me and tell me if you want to be with me?
Medicine
I can be your remedy
Better than any of prescriptions
I am better for you than any medicine
Yeah your medicine
I can be the cure for what ails you
Settle in and let me cleanse your system
Relax and let me help you get rid of the bad
And baby I will believe in us
I have faith in our relationship
And maybe that feeling ain’t enough
But maybe that faith alone isn’t enough
Medicine
I can be your remedy
Better than any drug you’ve got
I am better for you than any drug could ever be
