COFFEE

METAFOUR

I USED TO WAKE UP WHEN THE SUN WOULD SET

LOOK UP TO THE MOON, AND COUNT THE STARBUCKS SPENT

WILY FROM THE CORNERS, THE QUEEN IS TALL, BUT SHE'S DECEIVING

WAKES ME FOR THE RUSH-HOUR, BUT IT'S ALREADY EVENING

I WAS HELD TO THE GROUNDS, OF WHAT THEY BREW AND HOW THEY GRIND

THREE SHOTS TO THE CHEST, I SWORE IT WAS MY LAST TIME

WAS ADDICTED TO THE DARK, ROASTING ME ASLEEP

THESES CAFES ARE JUST BARS, WHEN YOU CAN'T ESCAPE WHAT'S CHEAP

BUT THEN I SAW YOUR SIGNS, THAT SAID COME IN THE COFFEES FREE

THIS IS NO FAIR TRADE, BUT TRY A DRINK AND YOU'LL NEVER WANT TO SLEEP.

YOUR CUP WAS NOT REMOVED, AND NOW FROM IT I DRINK

IT ONLY TOOK A SMALL CUP, TO WAKE ME UP, ONCE I BELIEVED

NOW WHAT A WAY I START EACH DAY

YOUR BEAUTY'S CAFFEINE, YOUR LOVE MY STRENGTH

YOU SERVE ME A CUP, CAUSE YOUR PRICE I CAN'T PAY

YOUR FAITHFULNESS AND SUGAR, I DELIGHT IN THE TASTE

MY MORNING DOSE I RECEIVE, BUT I MORE THAN JUST CONSUME

I DRINK FROM A CUP WITH NO LID, THEN OFFER MYSELF BACK TO YOU

YOU'RE MY ENERGY, MY FUEL, I READ YOUR LIST THAT SAYS, "TO DO".

BRING CUSTOMERS IN, SPREAD THE WORD, TELL THEM, "HERE THERE'S SOMETHING NEW."

AND WHEN I DOUBT WHEN THE NIGHT COMES, AND I BEGIN TO FALL ASLEEP

WHEN I TAKE CAUTION CAUSE ITS TOO HOT, AND RESIST AND CAN'T BELIEVE

SPECIALIZE MY COFFEE, YOU KNOW ME TO A TEA

IM IN THE LAND OF MILK AND HONEY, ALL I NEED TO DO IS DRINK
