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 reefer 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 andcouldn´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)
