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
