  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
  Cappucino
  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
