MC Lyte - Cappucino lyrics

rate me

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

Cappucino

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
