Manifesto
Nahko and Medicine for the People

Well this is real talk, this is nonstop
It is looped now tongue and mind
Played off the sidewalk, straight to your boombox
How it travels from ear to memory
Well this is medicine, there’s a message within
And each will find it in their own time
Well this music, this is how I use it
It makes you move and move the movement
This is how I focus, knowin’ it’s not hopeless
But it sure starts with me and ends on a whole note
Musical medicine, this is my healin’
For past and present, future things to come
I see people stressin’, over space and possessions
Out of fear and a need for visual aids of our abundance
Give me examples, of somethin’ tangible
Something I can get my hands on and find real meaning
Where is the medicine, well I’ve been searchin’
And I suppose each will find their own kind
Well everything is at stake, it makes it hard to concentrate
And there are men who see a war and see a paycheck
Such different programming to live so fearfully
Terror this and terror that terrible reality
There is no medicine on the television
So turn it off and turn yourself around
And let’s just face it, the world’s fuckin’ racist
Even the most peaceful of us gets caught in the trend
To live cohesively is almost a fantasy
And we oughtta know it starts with humbling our egos
What is the medicine for cultural woundin’
Has its moments, has its melodies, has its time
Well I was listenin’ to the outgoing seasons
About climate change and some of the reasons
When the sky opened like I’d been hopin’
And there came horses by the thousands
And there was thunder on their tongues and lightnin’ on their minds
And they were singin’ this old melody from some other time, they sang

Don’t waste your hate, rather gather and create
Be of service, be a sensible person, use your words and don’t be nervous
You can do this you’ve got purpose, find your medicine and use it
