Melatonin - A Tribe Called Quest[00:00:00]
Written by:Kamaal Fareed[00:00:00]
I said I rarely dream in color but they don't know[00:00:45]
And every brother ain't a brother but they don't know[00:00:47]
Pop melatonin like they Swedish Fish they don't know[00:00:50]
To give her everything's my dying wish they don't know[00:00:52]
Role play she plays the mannequin they don't know[00:00:55]
Raising my hand teacher says not again they don't know[00:00:57]
The sun is up but I feel down again they don't know[00:01:00]
On just one hand I can count all my friends they don't know[00:01:02]
The understudy for the star the show must go on[00:01:05]
I'm a beast on a leash I'm towed from the lawn[00:01:07]
Another notch in my belt the food's getting scarce[00:01:10]
Another notch in my belt she shakes up the stairs[00:01:12]
Drink liquid confidence tequila's our defense[00:01:15]
Get rid of this tense and makes life make sense[00:01:18]
As I come off the fence and break through defense[00:01:20]
Anxiety is on the ropes and it's gettin' intense[00:01:23]
Population gettin' tired now they don't know[00:01:25]
Everybody wants inspired now they don't know[00:01:28]
Racist emails fire out they don't know[00:01:30]
We did it in the dark it's coming out they don't know[00:01:33]
The world is crazy and I cannot sleep but they don't know[00:01:36]
Melatonin good enough to eat but they don't know[00:01:38]
I read the paper so that I can see what they don't know[00:01:41]
I'd rather stay indoors and make a beat but they don't know[00:01:43]
My mother said a lot of wise words to me[00:01:45]
Her Bible was like her toolie peasy-headed and unruly[00:01:47]
I made her think she got to me[00:01:49]
Following the trail of reefer[00:01:51]
And niggas talking through speakers[00:01:52]
Fattest laces through my sneakers[00:01:53]
The rappers ere ghetto preachers[00:01:55]
Thought I had it so I tried it for so long I would just hide it[00:01:56]
Then I made the crowds say hoo[00:01:58]
And saw them all get excited[00:01:59]
I was hooked I couldn't shake it[00:02:01]
The more I got I would take it[00:02:02]
Couldn't sleep and couldn't eat[00:02:04]
But this life I would not forsake it[00:02:05]
I said I really dream in color now they don't know[00:02:06]
And every brother ain't a brother now they don't know[00:02:09]
Pop melatonin like they Swedish Fish they don't know[00:02:11]
To give her everything my dying wish they don't know[00:02:13]
So many thoughts in my mind making it very hard to unwind[00:02:44]
I guess I should take one just one[00:02:49]
So many thoughts in my mind making it very hard to unwind[00:02:54]
I guess I should take one just one[00:02:59]
So many thoughts in my mind making it very hard to unwind[00:03:04]
I guess I should take one just one[00:03:09]
So many thoughts in my mind making it very hard to unwind[00:03:14]
I guess I should take one just one[00:03:19]
This one's for good girls that all gone bad just one[00:03:23]
This one I'm taking when I feel sad just one yeah[00:03:28]
This one I'm taking to make me strong just one[00:03:33]
This one I'm taking so that I'll live long just one yeah[00:03:38]
This one I'm taking to make me smile just one[00:03:43]
This one I'm taking to make life worthwhile just one[00:03:48]
This one and that one and those and these just one[00:03:53]
I just want to sleep I want to be at ease just one[00:03:58]
