Cappucino Lyrics - Eyes On This - Mc Lyte

It was a café 

It was a café on the westside 

It was a café on 

It was a café on the westside, midtown 

It was a café 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 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 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 café on the westside 

It was a café on the west... 

It was a café on the westside 

It was a café on the west... 

Cappucino
