Cappucino (Explicit LP Version)-MC Lyte

MC Lyte - Cappucino (Explicit LP Version) It was a caf? It was a caf on the west side It was a caf? On It was a caf? On the west side, midtown It was a caf? On the west side, 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 f**k 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 d**g sale, I could feel from behind Death, it was gettin' closer, right behind my back Ready to attack I got shot in a s***t 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 d**g 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' sh*t, it'd be workin' I'm hooked, well, I was, 'cause, yo, it's the best But if every time 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 west side It was a caf? On the west It was a caf? On the west side It was a caf? On the west Cappucino
