Mc Lyte - Cappucino Lyrics
It was a caf? it was a caf? on the westsideIt was a caf? onIt was a caf? on the westside, midtownIt was a caf? on the westside, midtownSaid they had the best cap of cappucino aroundSo I stepped in, and I ordered a cupSomeone grabbed me by my throat and said, shut the ***** up!And I did, pronto, quick fastHow much longer would the torture last?In the wrong place, at the wrong timeIt was a drug sale, I could feel from behindDeath, it was gettin closer, right behind my backReady to attackI got shot in a shoot-out, and then I diedI could feel it, I was on the other sideIn between lives, Im so confusedWhat 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 friendsThat I knew in a past life, way back whenA couple had died in a drug worldAnd this one guy died fightin over his girlAnother died drivin while intoxicatedWhy do people make livin so complicated?But then I saw a girl, her name was maryIntroduced to drugs by her boyfriend harryHe sold crack to the kids on the uptown cornersA social worker named hannah smith tried to warn herBut she wouldnt listen, no one listensI saw the light, I awakened, it was a dreamMan oh man, you shoulda heard me screamSo glad to be given - my life backSo good to be livin - or is dead better?I didnt have to run from the bullets or drugsAnd I didnt have to run from the murderers or thugsI didnt have to worry about fallin from a planeBut 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 couldnt happen, even thoughOn the bottom of my shirt was a spot of cappucino...CappucinoCappucinoBust it, to some of you that really dont knowI break it down to you, the word cappucinoIts somewhat like coffee, then again not quiteIts creamy and smooth, and it goes down lightThey charge you 3 dollars, you ask is it worth it?But when you start drinkin... shit, itd be workinIm hooked, well, I was, cause, yo, its the bestBut if everytime I drink I voyage through deathI leave it alone and just stick to teaCappucino was fly, but too fly for meWhy, oh why did I need cappucino?CappucinoWhy, oh why did I need cappucino?CappucinoWhy, oh why?Why, oh why?Why, oh why did I need cappucino?CappucinoCappucinoCappucinoCappucinoIt was a caf? on the westsideIt was a caf? on the west...It was a caf? on the westsideIt was a caf? on the west...Cappucino
