    Nahko, you are my role model I don't think I could make it through the the day without this and during school I'm singing this and 5th grade is really hard but this makes it a lot easier

      It makes me so happy that Nahko is able to reach the younger generation, the one that's going to really listen and really change the world. Keep listening and keep doing!

    Don't give up hope listen to the voices that rise above the confusion...pray with the elements, the sky and the trees....I heard this message when I was tender age of 15 in 1967 in SF Bay Area....transform, pray and and most of all learn to love unconditionally this is what the world needs more then anything right now...And thank you for this Music that is medicine for the soul like a salve of sweet balm opening our eyes and our hearts. Once a flower child always a flower child....

      Hey Raylene! Thank you for this beautiful message, it reached me at just the right time. I absolutely agree with you, and have learned just recently to talk with the land spirits and elements of our area. It has changed my entire life, just like this music, and I am entirely sincere in my expression.
      It's nice to hear from someone else who has experienced this aspect of life. Hard to talk about IRL, you know, but I do tell everyone about this music - every chance I get.
      Isn't this movement one of the most beautiful things you've ever witnessed?
      Love to you, sis, and many blessings.
      Keep on shining, you're doing brilliant work!

    Every single song I've listened to by these guys speaks to me on a personal level...truly medicine. This wild ride called life has kicked me many times, and coming across this group has helped my wife and I immensely after our latest beatdown. Serendipitous to say the least, thank you so much for sharing your voice and your message. These warriors are coming up, hopefully our voices contribute to the cause some day!

    Ahh! This is my jam man! Im so glad I found Medicine for the People! It's awesome! You know how you come to a musically inspired desert in your life? ...like I listened the shitt outta Rebelution and Slightly Stoopid- Dispatch, all that good stuff, got tired of all the same songs, and BAM! Synchronicity and DIvine Alignment finds me... I meet these two awesome, beautiful Hippy Chicks (living inside their Van..) in California lol and they tell me about Medicine! Been jamming to em ever since and cant wait to vibe with them live!! Positive music! I expect this and alll their songs to have noo negative comments! only awesomeness!

    Every cell is transforming
    And returning to original concepts to construct
    And then I started to shape-shift
    And the animals within me grew tails and talons
    I hitched a ride on the back of a whale
    To the darkest of the ocean and ate off the bottom
    And then I traveled dimensions
    In the places I rode upon elephants and zebras
    Elephants and zebras
    {Verse 2}
    Well I dream of my future big time, yeah
    What it would be like to always have clean water
    And if we left the trees standing
    And they filtered the air and we breathed it in deeply
    So I traveled across Native America
    I saw the sickness taking form in all its small children
    Well if I could give to my people, yeah
    Well a piece of my peace will be with you always
    If I could give to my people, yeah
    Well a piece of my peace will be with you always
    Be with you always
    Be with you always
    {Pre-Chorus}
    I never thought I needed medicine
    But I was spiritually dying, I needed some healing
    So I opened my mouth and took a dose of the music
    Then I sat and prayed for guidance now teach me to use it
    I pray for guidance, now teach me to use it
    I pray for guidance, now give me the music
    {Chorus}
    And it definitely matters how you look at it
    And it definitely matters how you look at it
    So if you think you can risk it, well
    What an opportunity to be free of it
    Said if you think you can risk it, well
    What an opportunity to be free of it
    {Verse 3}
    I heard the herd, yeah, the wild horses
    I we're blazing new trails to uncertain territories
    I take a toke and reflect with coyote
    And we're dreaming up new ways to bring all the outcasts home
    I take my place in the choir
    And we're singing new songs of freedom and progress
    And we’re delivering the babies, yeah
    And we’re birthing up the next seven generations
    Said we’re delivering the babies, yeah
    And we’re birthing up the next seven generations
    Seven generations
    Seven generations
    {Pre-Chorus}
    I never thought I needed medicine
    But I was spiritually dying, I needed some healing
    So I opened my mouth and took a dose of the music
    Then I sat and prayed for guidance, now teach me to use it
    I pray for guidance now, teach me to use it
    I pray for guidance now, give me the music
    {Chorus}
    And it definitely matters how you look at it
    And it definitely matters how you look at it
    So if you think you can risk it, well
    What an opportunity to be free of it
    Said if you think you can risk it, well
    What an opportunity to be free of it
    {Outro}
    Mouthing off
    Such aggressive behavior
    I'm sounding off
    Holding my temper
    It comes in waves
    My enemies swim close to me
    My heart's displaced
    Connected to such bravery
    My hunger waits
    I cannot swallow, I cannot swallow
    I am all over the place
    My spirit bellows, My spirit bellows
    I am on my way
    My body follows, my body follows
    Written on my face
    Well do not follow, do not follow me
