[Intro]
Yeah…
This what happens when bad decisions meet Walgreens at 11 PM
One hand got melatonin…
Other hand got confidence issues
[Verse 1]
Took a melatonin gummy, said “I need some rest”
Then the little blue pill said “NOT YET”
Body gettin’ sleepy but my soldier on alert
Brain say “bedtime,” lil bro say “go to work”
Walkin’ through the house like a zombie with a mission
Half asleep, half freak, bad medical decision
Eyes low shut, but my ego too alive
Tryna win a race against REM sleep tonight
Clock on the dresser tick-tick like doom
I’m in the mirror lookin’ confused in my room
One side vertical, whole body horizontal
This ain’t romance, this a pharmaceutical combo
[Pre-Chorus]
Melatonin whisperin’: “Brother, go to bed…”
Viagra yellin’: “WE AIN’T FINISHED YET”
I’m somewhere in the middle fightin’ for my life
One eye closed while salutin’ through the night
[Chorus]
Can I bust before I snore?
That’s the question at the core
Got me speed-runnin’ love at quarter after four
Tryna beat the sleep debuff before I hit the floor
One pill said “rest in peace”
Other pill said “increase”
Now I’m drifting off to dreamland with unnecessary heat
Boy, this bedtime build is elite
[Verse 2]
Laid down sleepy, then I rolled back up
Lookin’ like Dracula searchin’ for luck
Got YouTube open playin’ slow jams quietly
But I’m noddin’ off aggressively and violently
Phone fallin’ on my face every thirty seconds
Still determined like a man with a purpose and a weapon
I done yawned six times but the mission ain’t done
Fighting demons, fighting sleep, fighting for the final run
Dog lookin’ at me like “bro, this ain’t right”
Even Nox and Odie judging me tonight
One curled up comfy, one sighin’ at the door
Like “why dad shadowboxin’ in the dark at 4?”
[Bridge]
Heartbeat slow…
But ambition fast…
If I fall asleep now
This opportunity pass…
Blanket tucked in…
But bro still standing proud…
I’m one blink away from unconsciousness now
[Chorus]
Can I bust before I snore?
Scientific warfare at the bedroom door
Got melatonin doing countdowns in my head
While Viagra got a motivational speech instead
One pill said “peace and rest”
Other pill said “do your best”
Now I’m sleepwalkin’ through temptation stressed
This might be my dumbest quest
[Outro]
Next morning woke up confused and ashamed
TV still on and my phone unplugged again
Doctor probably somewhere feelin’ a disturbance tonight
Like “why he mix them pills and turn it into a boss fight?”
Moral of the story?
Man… there ain’t one
Sometimes dudes just do dumb stuff for fun.
