[00:00:00] Melatonin - A Tribe Called Quest

[00:00:00] Written by：Kamaal Fareed

[00:00:45] I said I rarely dream in color but they don't know

[00:00:47] And every brother ain't a brother but they don't know

[00:00:50] Pop melatonin like they Swedish Fish they don't know

[00:00:52] To give her everything's my dying wish they don't know

[00:00:55] Role play she plays the mannequin they don't know

[00:00:57] Raising my hand teacher says not again they don't know

[00:01:00] The sun is up but I feel down again they don't know

[00:01:02] On just one hand I can count all my friends they don't know

[00:01:05] The understudy for the star the show must go on

[00:01:07] I'm a beast on a leash I'm towed from the lawn

[00:01:10] Another notch in my belt the food's getting scarce

[00:01:12] Another notch in my belt she shakes up the stairs

[00:01:15] Drink liquid confidence tequila's our defense

[00:01:18] Get rid of this tense and makes life make sense

[00:01:20] As I come off the fence and break through defense

[00:01:23] Anxiety is on the ropes and it's gettin' intense

[00:01:25] Population gettin' tired now they don't know

[00:01:28] Everybody wants inspired now they don't know

[00:01:30] Racist emails fire out they don't know

[00:01:33] We did it in the dark it's coming out they don't know

[00:01:36] The world is crazy and I cannot sleep but they don't know

[00:01:38] Melatonin good enough to eat but they don't know

[00:01:41] I read the paper so that I can see what they don't know

[00:01:43] I'd rather stay indoors and make a beat but they don't know

[00:01:45] My mother said a lot of wise words to me

[00:01:47] Her Bible was like her toolie peasy-headed and unruly

[00:01:49] I made her think she got to me

[00:01:51] Following the trail of reefer

[00:01:52] And niggas talking through speakers

[00:01:53] Fattest laces through my sneakers

[00:01:55] The rappers ere ghetto preachers

[00:01:56] Thought I had it so I tried it for so long I would just hide it

[00:01:58] Then I made the crowds say hoo

[00:01:59] And saw them all get excited

[00:02:01] I was hooked I couldn't shake it

[00:02:02] The more I got I would take it

[00:02:04] Couldn't sleep and couldn't eat

[00:02:05] But this life I would not forsake it

[00:02:06] I said I really dream in color now they don't know

[00:02:09] And every brother ain't a brother now they don't know

[00:02:11] Pop melatonin like they Swedish Fish they don't know

[00:02:13] To give her everything my dying wish they don't know

[00:02:44] So many thoughts in my mind making it very hard to unwind

[00:02:49] I guess I should take one just one

[00:02:54] So many thoughts in my mind making it very hard to unwind

[00:02:59] I guess I should take one just one

[00:03:04] So many thoughts in my mind making it very hard to unwind

[00:03:09] I guess I should take one just one

[00:03:14] So many thoughts in my mind making it very hard to unwind

[00:03:19] I guess I should take one just one

[00:03:23] This one's for good girls that all gone bad just one

[00:03:28] This one I'm taking when I feel sad just one yeah

[00:03:33] This one I'm taking to make me strong just one

[00:03:38] This one I'm taking so that I'll live long just one yeah

[00:03:48] This one I'm taking to make life worthwhile just one
