The Medicine

Lyrics

[Chorus] Mmm, they try break you down when you don't fit into the system I could follow the narratives, but from school I challenged it, I didn't listen They try teach me I'm a slave but in my story I'm a king-pin not a victim Alex Hunter, I was on the journey, but I realised the game's rigged and scripted Mmm, they try break you down when you don't fit into the system I could follow the narratives, but from school I challenged it, I didn't listen Try teach me I'm a slave but in my story I'm a king-pin not a victim Alex Hunter, I was on the journey, but I realisеd the game's rigged and scriptеd [Verse 1] They try break you down when you don't fit into the system I determined my own success They all want some percent Don't let nobody pitch in And, if I fell it's my fault It's not 'cause the label invested in a new in-ting When I say I'm independent You won't find no pair ah company listed I like to earn it, don't want it to be gifted They didn't earn it, they ain't gifted They just do collabs and a quick ting Social climbing ain't uplifting No numbers they don't care about his ting But it gets views, let's take pictures Labels got his progress all scripted Feels that he owes them 'cah they tricked him Eyes wired shut and the ears ain't listening They don't trust what they see But they wanna believe what the paper's printing The choice is fucked and some man live it Ching it, taking shots no drinking Hit him, and then put the grub in cling You got me Some man see the light Some man ain't got an inkling Negativity sells, you gotta realise about this ting If you try do the positive ting They will say "This ain't the channel for that, you're a misfit" Clout's one hell of a drug Most man don't prosper but they risk it So they go from the tubes to the pen And I ain't talking 'bout the one with ink in Mmm, better start thinking Was it worth it to savour your dripping? Or to get the little day bags dripping Down to a tee like Lipton The roads are cold Everyday more dippings and convictions All I see is victims making more victims All I see is victims making more victims [Chorus] Mmm, they try break you down when you don't fit into the system I could follow the narratives, but from school I challenged it, I didn't listen Try teach me I'm a slave but in my story I'm a king-pin not a victim Alex Hunter, I was on the journey, but I realised the game's rigged and scripted [Verse 2] Lyrical Simba, I'm a king so now I know that I scarred man, will turn traitor I know about learnt behaviour Hurt people, heard people And I'm sure that my theory's backed by data They lash out, like some makeup failure We all been through something hectic Don't have to reject it, try be greater 'Cause I was taught love thy neighbour How you treat the cleaner and the head teacher Shows how you're gonna treat me later 'Cah man wanna belittle the waiter And suck up to the manager Can't believe it, that's a sneaky hater 'Cah they know sucking up to someone with power will benefit them later
