Cappucino

Lyrics

It was a caf? it was a caf? on the westside
 It was a caf? on
 It was a caf? on the westside, midtown
 It was a caf? on the westside, midtown
 Said they had the best cap of cappucino 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 shoot-out, 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 cappucino?
 Why, oh why?
 Why, oh why did I need cappucino?
 Why, oh why?
 Why, oh why did I need cappucino?
 Why, oh why did I need cappucino?
 But then I calmed down, I spotted some friends
 That I knew in a past life, way back when
 A couple had died in a 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 the 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 is 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 caf? was death still callin my name?
 Or did this caf? 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 cappucino...
 Cappucino
 Cappucino
 Bust it, to some of you that really don't know
 I break it down to you, the word 'cappucino'
 It's somewhat like coffee, then again not quite
 It's creamy and smooth, and it goes down light
 They charge you 3 dollars, you ask is it worth it?
 But when you start drinkin... shit, it'd be workin
 I'm hooked, well, I was, cause, yo, it's the best
 But if everytime I drink I voyage through death
 I leave it alone and just stick to tea
 Cappucino was fly, but too fly for me
 Why, oh why did I need cappucino?
 Cappucino
 Why, oh why did I need cappucino?
 Cappucino
 Why, oh why?
 Why, oh why?
 Why, oh why did I need cappucino?
 Cappucino
 Cappucino
 Cappucino
 Cappuci no
 It was a caf? on the westside
 It was a caf? on the west...
 It was a caf? on the westside
 It was a caf? on the west...
 Cappucino
