Truth Is Your Medicine

from ROOT by Molina Speaks x DJ Icewater

/

lyrics

they got a pill to kill our babies, ain’t that crazy?
school-to-prison pipeline, extension of slavery
genocidal legacy, a fourth world war
police and military turn their guns on the poor
legalize drugs to pacify the thirst of the soul
prescription pill heroin will never swallow the holes
we dig, you dig?, i dig deep within in the Spirit
writing beats, poems and lyrics, keep my energy fearless

first breath, greet the sun up, every sun up
offerings, morning songs, sing to sprouting seeds
prayers for dying leaves and deferred dreams
walk to move the blood, stretch to stir the chi
burn sage to clear the energy, herbs in my tea
roots to remedy the history, medicine tree
palo santo, frankincense, copal y milagros
acknowledge los espiritus y antepasados
your roots contain your clues, i mestizo, Chicano
native to the Earth, I count my worth in her bounty
infused tequila with hibiscus, rose hips and dried cherry
dark rum with cinnamon, orange peel, ginger and honey
get your loving, quit your bluffing, hustle, get your money
count time greater than gems, give your gifts to your friends
don’t let them turn you to stone, box you in, or block your zen
rebel souls hold your ground, pump ya fist and raise your chin
