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 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 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
