It was a cafe? It was a cafe on the west side It was a cafe? On It was a cafe? On the west side, midtown It was a cafe? 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** 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 d**h, 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 d** 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 d** 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 d**h still callin' my name? Or did this café even exist? And was my name just another on the d**h 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**, 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 d**h 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 west side It was a café on the west It was a café on the west side It was a café on the west Cappucino
