This song was about me grappling with some personal issues and trying to step up to be accountable for them. Move on, apologize, know that I was in the wrong, “taste the medicine”, and grow from it.
[Verse]
We got a bit of rough history
We know the root of it
Never was a mystery
Ain't trying to start shit
But I know you're listening
Won't be a shock
If you think I shouldn't say anything
But I've just got guilt on my mind
Can't sleep at night
I did you wrong I confess to the crime
I’ll pay the price
I'm trying to get myself right with my conscience
Move on with my life
[Pre-Chorus]
Oooh I've been running running too long
Oooh and the distance hasn't got me far
Oooh I'm trying to break past what I've done
Sober up, just take the shot
Instead of going numb
[Chorus]
I know just what I have to do
Correct myself, come clean
And make it up to you
I've got nothing but pride to lose
Straighten up, surrender
My ego to the truth
[Hook]
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it kicking in?)
I taste the medicine
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it kicking in?)
I taste the medicine
[Verse]
Don't wanna be a thorn stuck in your side
I don't wanna be another reason why
You don't trust no one
I recognize
Until I own up Im just wasting time
I spent months typing all of this down
X-ing it out, trying to say as much as I can
Before you just block me back out
But we both know I can’t blame you
For having your doubts
[Pre-Chorus]
Oooh I've been running running too long
Oooh and the distance hasn't got me far
[Chorus]
I know just what I have to do
Correct myself, come clean
And make it up to you
I've got nothing but pride to lose
Straighten up, surrender
My ego to the truth
[Hook]
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it kicking in?)
I taste the medicine
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it kicking in?)
I taste the medicine
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it kicking in?)
I feel it kicking in
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it kicking in?)
I taste the medicine
[Bridge]
I feel it kicking in, I feel it kicking in
I feel it kicking in, I feel it kicking in
I feel it kicking in, I feel it kicking in
I feel it kicking in, I feel it kicking in
[Chorus]
I know just what I have to do
Correct myself, come clean
And make it up to you
I've got nothing but pride to lose
Straighten up, surrender
My ego to the truth
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it kicking in?)
I taste the medicine
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it kicking in?)
I taste the medicine
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it kicking in?)
I feel it kicking in
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it kicking in?)
I taste the medicine
