Snoop Dogg & Willie Nelson- My Medicine

About the song

Sometimes the most unexpected musical pairings are the ones that leave the biggest impression. When Snoop Dogg, the laid-back West Coast rap icon, joined forces with Willie Nelson, the legendary country outlaw, few could have predicted the kind of magic they’d make together. But in My Medicine, their worlds collide in a way that’s not just entertaining—it’s genuinely touching, clever, and full of character.

Released in 2008 on Snoop Dogg’s Ego Trippin’ album, My Medicine is more than a novelty collaboration—it’s a heartfelt homage to country music, specifically to Johnny Cash, and a playful tribute to the power of storytelling in song. With its acoustic guitar twang and classic country rhythm, the track is steeped in the traditions of Americana, yet it carries Snoop’s unmistakable lyrical style and signature smooth delivery. The result is a genre-bending tune that feels surprisingly natural, like two old friends trading verses over a front porch jam session.

Willie Nelson’s presence here isn’t just symbolic—it’s essential. His gravelly voice, relaxed phrasing, and unmistakable authenticity ground the song in classic country roots, while Snoop Dogg brings a fresh, humorous energy that adds a unique twist. What binds them together is more than just their mutual love of music—it’s their shared identity as cultural rebels. Both have spent decades marching to the beat of their own drums, defying labels, and cultivating images that resonate far beyond their original genres.

Lyrically, My Medicine leans heavily into tongue-in-cheek references, playful double entendres, and a strong sense of character. The “medicine” of the title is, of course, a wink to their mutual appreciation for marijuana—but beneath the laughs, there’s a deeper message about finding solace and peace in whatever brings you comfort. Whether you’re a fan of hip-hop, country, or somewhere in between, this track offers something delightfully original.

In a world that too often keeps genres in rigid boxes, My Medicine is a breath of fresh air—a celebration of musical freedom and unlikely friendships. It’s a reminder that music, at its best, knows no boundaries, and that sometimes, the most memorable songs come from the most unexpected duets.

Lyrics

[Intro: Snoop]
Yeah, I like to dedicate this record right here to my main man
Johnny Cash, a real American gangster
I got my nephew Whitey Ford on the guitar
Young Trev’ on the drums
Grand Ole Opry, here we come, uhh

[Snoop Dogg]
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jacked up the spoon on the candlestick
Dopestick pimpin on the one-trick pony
Yeah she kinda skinny but she gets my money
Get my money, buy my medicine
Buy my medicine, buy my medicine
Get my money, buy my medicine
Buy my medicine, buy my medicine

Yeah, you know I got to have that medicine
That prescription medicine baby
Y’know, purple, orange, green

[Snoop Dogg]
Jack starts hangin ’round with some fiends
Got strung out, sold the cow for beans
Told young wifey, “I love ya honey
But you gotta hit the streets, go and get my money”
Get my money, buy my medicine
Buy my medicine, buy my medicine
Get my money, buy my medicine
Buy my medicine, buy my medicine

[Snoop – singing]
Girl my love’s gonna last, just as long as my high
(And I’m high all day, every day)
You can trust every word I’m gonna say will be a lie

[Snoop Dogg]
Haha, yeah I lie sometimes
What’s the use of the truth if you can’t get a lie sometimes baby?
Now dig this

Jack starts a track up and down the hill
Got to walkin thinkin ace what he told to Jill
Come rain, come shine, come snow or if it’s sunny
Get the fuck out, come and get my money
Get my money, buy my medicine
Buy my medicine, buy my medicine
Get my money, buy my medicine
Buy my medicine, buy my medicine

Yeah
They say you can’t buy me love, but you damn sure can buy me bud

[Snoop – singing]
Girl my love’s gonna last, just as long as my high
(Oh I’m so high right now, how ’bout you?)
You can trust every word I’m gonna tell you is a lie
(Liar liar, haha, pants on fire)
Girl I love you (I love you though)
Yeahhhh!
