Carter A. Wilson - Malcolm's Medicine lyrics

[Intro] Ever since then… Numb! No feelings like my heart was shot full of novocaine [Chorus] I need novocaine, novocaine ‘Cause I don't really feel this place I don't wanna feel my face I just wanna taste that Novocaine, novocaine I look around at all this sh** I can't change And I can't take this pain I need that Novocaine, novocaine Born as a slave in the middle of the war Living in a game and I don't wanna play no more I need novocaine, novocaine Feeling like everything way too fake Get the f** out my face, give me space We stuck in a maze I need novocaine, novocaine You act like it's safe ‘cause you wack that's a waste Matter fact I'm getting madder every day Call me black and insane I need novocaine, novocaine Living in the past a mistake In the wake of disaster I laugh in the rain Let it splash me away I need novocaine, novocaine [Verse] I got a list of sh** I can't wait to try And I'ma try em all I'ma take my time I need novocaine for my soul and mind I open wide, I hope I won't survive to live my life alone So I show the light behind the microphone and I recite the quotes Free fall but I'm supposed to fly home I know, I know, I know, I know the road is quite long But I'm devoted tryna find my focus and defy the vultures Tryna fight the culture ‘cause it's stifling We in the same boat 99% so why should I commit To school and rules tryna tie me in And hold me back We grown way too attached to Ma**a But it's half the battle We attack ourselves I'm running my mouth ‘til my shackles melt We all trapped in hell but we distracted Rather hit a dab than get active Rather pop a xan and relax Man that's exactly what the Man wants Now he both his hands on our throat Telling us to vote Tellings us to fight for the flag While the cops put little black bodies in the bag to distract While the privacy attacked The policy is wack Call it comedy and laugh ‘Cause the prophecy in tact Ain't no property to tax in my head I'm free They can't read my mind but they receive my rhyme on beat I'ma stand on my word ‘til I die on my feet This a diary allow me to read it out loud I'ma king I'ma sing I need novocaine I need novocaine I'm sick of all of this sh** I was born contagious So I'm motivated Here goes the train of my thoughts right off the cliff ‘Course I made it My music like a self-portrait painted I ignore the danger and explore the layers of a normal day But I need my novocaine I wait for the pouring rain But it's sorta late I might throw it all away I talk to myself, get my story straight I need novocaine, no delay I know you want a taste So I close my eyes and I pray to God my soul to take [Chorus] I need novocaine, novocaine ‘Cause I don't really feel this place I don't wanna feel my face I just wanna taste that Novocaine, novocaine I look around at all this sh** I can't change And I can't take this pain I need that Novocaine, novocaine Born as a slave in the middle of the war Living in a game and I don't wanna play no more I need novocaine, novocaine Feeling like everything way too fake Get the f** out my face, give me space We stuck in a maze I need novocaine, novocaine You act like it's safe ‘cause you wack that's a waste Matter fact I'm getting madder every day Call me black and insane I need novocaine, novocaine Living in the past a mistake In the wake of disaster I laugh in the rain Let it splash me away I need novocaine, novocaine
