Testo Cappucino - MC Lyte
Testo della canzone Cappucino (MC Lyte), tratta dall'album Golden Era: 80s & 90s Hip Hop Classics
It was a cafe on the Westside, Midtown
Said they had the best cap or cappuccino 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 getting closer, right behind my back
Ready to attack
I got shot in a shootout, 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?
Was it really time for me to go?
Why oh why did I need cappuccino?
Why oh why did I need cappuccino?
But then I calmed down, I spotted some friends
That I knew in a past life, way back when
A couple had died in the drug world
And this one guy died fighting over his girl
Another died driving while intoxicated
Why do people make living 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 living, or was dead better?
I didn't have to run from the bullets or drugs
And I didn't have to run from the murders or thugs
I didn't have to worry about falling from a plane
But at this cafe, was death still calling my name?
Or did this cafe even exist?
Or 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 cappuccino
Bust it, to some of you that really don't know
I'll break it down to you, the word cappuccino
It's somewhat like coffee, then again not quite
It's creamy and smooth, and it goes down light
They charge you three dollars, you ask, "Is it worth it?"
But when you start drinking, shit it be working
I'm hooked, well I was, cause yo it's the best
But if every time I drink, I voyage through death
I'll leave it alone, and just stick to tea
Cappuccino is fly, but too fly for me
Why oh why did I need cappuccino?
