Lyrics
0:00Melatonin - A Tribe Called Quest
0:45I said I rarely dream in color but they don't know
0:47And every brother ain't a brother but they don't know
0:50Pop melatonin like they Swedish Fish they don't know
0:52To give her everything's my dying wish they don't know
0:55Role play she plays the mannequin they don't know
0:57Raising my hand teacher says not again they don't know
1:00The sun is up but I feel down again they don't know
1:02On just one hand I can count all my friends they don't know
1:05The understudy for the star the show must go on
1:07I'm a beast on a leash I'm towed from the lawn
1:10Another notch in my belt the food's getting scarce
1:12Another notch in my belt she shakes up the stairs
1:15Drink liquid confidence tequila's our defense
1:18Get rid of this tense and makes life make sense
1:20As I come off the fence and break through defense
1:23Anxiety is on the ropes and it's gettin' intense
1:25Population gettin' tired now they don't know
1:28Everybody wants inspired now they don't know
1:30Racist emails fire out they don't know
1:33We did it in the dark it's coming out they don't know
1:36The world is crazy and I cannot sleep but they don't know
1:38Melatonin good enough to eat but they don't know
1:41I read the paper so that I can see what they don't know
1:43I'd rather stay indoors and make a beat but they don't know
1:45My mother said a lot of wise words to me
1:47Her Bible was like her toolie peasy-headed and unruly
1:49I made her think she got to me
1:51Following the trail of reefer
1:52And niggas talking through speakers
1:53Fattest laces through my sneakers
1:55The rappers ere ghetto preachers
1:56Thought I had it so I tried it for so long I would just hide it
1:58Then I made the crowds say hoo
1:59And saw them all get excited
2:01I was hooked I couldn't shake it
2:02The more I got I would take it
2:04Couldn't sleep and couldn't eat
2:05But this life I would not forsake it
2:06I said I really dream in color now they don't know
2:09And every brother ain't a brother now they don't know
2:11Pop melatonin like they Swedish Fish they don't know
2:13To give her everything my dying wish they don't know
2:44So many thoughts in my mind making it very hard to unwind
2:49I guess I should take one just one
2:54So many thoughts in my mind making it very hard to unwind
2:59I guess I should take one just one
3:04So many thoughts in my mind making it very hard to unwind
3:09I guess I should take one just one
3:14So many thoughts in my mind making it very hard to unwind
3:19I guess I should take one just one
3:23This one's for good girls that all gone bad just one
3:28This one I'm taking when I feel sad just one yeah
3:33This one I'm taking to make me strong just one
3:38This one I'm taking so that I'll live long just one yeah
3:43This one I'm taking to make me smile just one
3:48This one I'm taking to make life worthwhile just one
3:53This one and that one and those and these just one
3:58I just want to sleep I want to be at ease just one
