Cappucino

It was a café

It was a café on the West Side

It was a café on

It was a café on the West Side, Midtown

It was a café on the West Side, Midtown

Said they had the best cappu-cappuccino around

So I stepped in and I ordered a cup

Someone grabbed me by my throat and said, "Shut the fuck up"

And I did, pronto, quick fast

How much longer would the torture last?

In the wrong place at the wrong time

It was a drug sale, I could feel from behind

Death, it was gettin' closer, right behind my back

Ready to attack, I got shot in a shootout

And then I died, I could feel it

I was on the other side

In between lives, I'm so confused

What do I do? Oh, what do I do?

But was it really time for me to go?

Why, oh, why did I need cappuccino?

Why, oh, why?

Why, oh, why did I need cappuccino?

Why, oh, why?

Why, oh, why did I need cappuccino?

Why, oh, why did I need cappuccino?

But then I calmed down, I spotted some friends

That I knew in a past life way back when

A couple had died in the drug world

And this one guy died fightin' over his girl

Another died drivin' while intoxicated

Why do people make livin' so complicated?

But then I saw a girl, her name was Mary

Introduced to drugs by her boyfriend, Harry

He sold crack to the kids on Uptown corners

A social worker named Hannah Smith tried to warn her

But she wouldn't listen, no one listens

I saw the light, I awakened, it was a dream

Man, oh, man, you shoulda heard me scream

So glad to be given my life back

So good to be livin', or was dead better?

I didn't have to run from the bullets or drugs

And I didn't have to run from the murderers or thugs

I didn't have to worry about fallin' from a plane

But at this café, was Death still callin' my name?

Or did this café even exist? And was my name just another

On the death list? I knew it couldn't happen

Even though on the bottom of my shirt was a spot of cappuccino

Cappuccino

Cappuccino

Bust it, to some of you that really don't know

I break it down to you, the word cappuccino, it's somewhat like coffee

Then again, not quite, it's creamy and smooth and it goes down light

They charge you three dollars, you ask, "Is it worth it?"

But when you start drinkin', shit, it be workin'

I'm hooked, well, I was, 'cause, yo, it's the best

But if every time I drink I voyage through death

I'll leave it alone and just stick to tea, cappuccino was fly

But too fly for me

Why, oh, why did I need cappuccino?

Cappuccino

Why, oh, why did I need cappuccino?

Cappuccino

Why, oh, why

Why, oh, why

Why, oh, why did I need cappuccino?

It was a café on the West Side
