CJ Fly - Medicine lyrics

[Verse 1] Beauty in the eye of the beholder I was young, but only gettin' older Only got a high school diploma Got a lot of weight up on my shoulders Did a year at college but I folded Took the Verrazzano to get over I was lucky like I found a clover Was always the opposite of sober Thinkin' 'bout my life and how things coulda been If I stayed in school and I ain't rapped Woulda prolly never traveled, got caught up in the ghetto fu*kin' with the wrong fellas, get clapped Police prolly woulda caught me walkin' 'round with the hammer Throw my ass in the slammеr, that's that I try not to get attached to each dollar that I havе I'm so sick, you gon' need a hazmat Play my cards right but it ain't Blackjack Roll the dice like I'm 'bout to play Craps I'm too nice, that's why I don't take crap And success is my favorite payback But I know when you cannot say jack Hope one day I can get a Maybach I need cheese like a Monterey Jack They be lyin' and I'm talkin' straight facts (Fly) [Chorus] Medicine, medicine No, I cannot sleep without my medicine No, I cannot breathe without my medicine No, I cannot eat without my medicine Medicine, medicine No, I cannot eat without my medicine No, I cannot sleep without my medicine No, I cannot breathe without my medicine [Post-Chorus] Medicine, medicine Medicine, medicine No, I cannot breathe without my medicine No, I cannot eat without my medicine Medicine, medicine Medicine, medicine No, I cannot sleep without my medicine No, I cannot breathe without my medicine [Verse 2] I'm pillin' enough, no, I don't need a pill So much our young brothers that I've seen it kill Some take it on flights and some pop it on drills Some wanna be numb cause they don't wanna feel Who am I to judge? 'Cause I smoke before meals I fu*k with the ganja 'cause I know it heals Get my front' from Cali', way up in the hills My hood filled with crackheads that's still smokin' krill I can't judge 'em either, 'cause they from the era Heard 'bout Reaganomics but I wasn't there Some brothers made hustlin' to a career Then they got locked up for the maximum years Yes, pharmaceuticals all on our TV These people too greedy, can see they don't care But I think freely, won't take what they feed me They tryna beat us usin' mental or fear (Fly) [Chorus] Medicine, medicine No, I cannot sleep without my medicine No, I cannot breathe without my medicine No, I cannot eat without my medicine Medicine, medicine No, I cannot eat without my medicine No, I cannot sleep without my medicine No, I cannot breathe without my medicine
