Melatonin (Explicit)

Melatonin (Explicit) - A Tribe Called Quest/Marsha Ambrosius/YEBBA

Written by：Kamaal Fareed

I said I rarely dream in color but they don't know

And every brother ain't a brother but they don't know

Pop melatonin like they Swedish Fish they don't know

To give her everything's my dying wish they don't know

Role play she plays the mannequin they don't know

Raising my hand teacher says not again they don't know

The sun is up but I feel down again they don't know

On just one hand I can count all my friends they don't know

The understudy for the star the show must go on

I'm a beast on a leash I'm towed from the lawn

Another notch in my belt the food's getting scarce

Another notch in my belt she shakes up the stairs

Drink liquid confidence tequila's our defense

Get rid of this tense and makes life make sense

As I come off the fence and break through defense

Anxiety is on the ropes and it's gettin' intense

Population gettin' tired now they don't know

Everybody wants inspired now they don't know

Racist emails fire out they don't know

We did it in the dark it's coming out they don't know

The world is crazy and I cannot sleep but they don't know

Melatonin good enough to eat but they don't know

I read the paper so that I can see what they don't know

I'd rather stay indoors and make a beat but they don't know

My mother said a lot of wise words to me

Her Bible was like her toolie peasy-headed and unruly

I made her think she got to me

Following the trail of **

And niggas talking through speakers

Fattest laces through my sneakers

The rappers ere ghetto preachers

Thought I had it so I tried it for so long I would just hide it

Then I made the crowds say hoo

And saw them all get excited

I was hooked I couldn't shake it

The more I got I would take it

Couldn't sleep and couldn't eat

But this life I would not forsake it

I said I really dream in color now they don't know

And every brother ain't a brother now they don't know

Pop melatonin like they Swedish Fish they don't know

To give her everything my dying wish they don't know

So many thoughts in my mind making it very hard to unwind

I guess I should take one just one

So many thoughts in my mind making it very hard to unwind

I guess I should take one just one

So many thoughts in my mind making it very hard to unwind

I guess I should take one just one

So many thoughts in my mind making it very hard to unwind

I guess I should take one just one

This one's for good girls that all gone bad just one

This one I'm taking when I feel sad just one yeah

This one I'm taking to make me strong just one

This one I'm taking so that I'll live long just one yeah

This one I'm taking to make me smile just one

This one I'm taking to make life worthwhile just one

This one and that one and those and these just one

I just want to sleep I want to be at ease just one
