Melatonin

My body different (yeah)
Shorty said she tryna kick it
I'm in her mouth, somethin' like a den-
I just wanna slide, party's in the sky like it's 2055

I assume that you're all on the process of waking up
(Great John on the beat, by the way)
Tell you every-, damn

They gon' tell you everything but the good idea
Your brother died and you ain't slide, I know he wish you slid
Both of 'em shot there at the dock like who the victim is
Gotta give me props, I made it far, can't lie, I know I did

Innocence since little kids
Free my heart, this system takin' fathers from they kids
I know a bitch that line you up don't need no barber chair
I know a nigga who went savage 'cause his pops ain't here

Cried before he go to bed
Ask him he feel, he said, "Why am I always in my head?"
"Why I gotta keep it on me? Niggas wanna see me dead
And I don't think my mama would lie"
I can't fall in love 'cause that's what karma would like

I feel like everyone above me hate the fact that I'm nice
Closest friends turned to racks, I've seen the black in the white
I don't know what you dealin' with, but just deal with it
Money can't heal pain, I still be feelin' it, I still be-, damn

Stab you in your back, like back to back, and you just let it slide
But when you finally got 'em back, them niggas act surprised
This shit ain't no act, feel like we curse, feel like we born hurt
Honestly, I don't know how I stop poppin' Percs, I can't reverse

I can't go backwards
Why you hate me 'cause I'm real? You probably fuck with actors
Pay attention to this book, you can't be skippin' chapters
Happiness, the one thing we're all chasin' after

You all ready?
Wake up, you're gonna wake up
And if you're not ready, you're gonna stay pretending that you're just a little, poor little meat?
And since you're all here
And engaged in this sort of enquiry and listening to this sort of lecture

I assume that you're all on the process of waking up
Or else, you're teasing yourself with some kind of, uh, flirtation of waking up
Which you're not serious about
But I assume maybe you are not serious but sincere
That you are ready to wake up (wake up...)

This is your wake-up call
