lyrics
Intro
Yo MWill How do you like yout coffee?
Chorus:
It never really mattered too much,
That you were just a little out of touch
You see what they're bothering me for
I just need a little cafecito,
I know that you're looking for the touch
You're doing it a little too much
(it really doesn't matter too much)
You're over there jonesing for perico
I just need a little cafecito
Verse:
Little Indian boy,
Brown skin, can't pretend
Doesn't play with any toys
Grew up in the mountains
Son of a prolific paisa
Mama been there, done that
Homie was a man by the age of 10
Traveling the hills of Peru,
Maybe from Bolivia,
This ain't nothing new,
Feel like the ancient Macchu Picchu
But something doesn't feel right,
Homie has a clue
See the inequalities of the world
Feel remorse for all the boys and girls
Women, and the men that go brown skin like him
Product of invasion
So he cooks the product,
Call it medication
Except it ain't for him
It's for the oppressor
Stealth shit, Compressor
Stash in the dresser
No settling for lesser
You can call me the professor
Chorus
Bridge:
People, people,
We gotta get over before we go under
I said, People, people,
We gotta get over before we go under (2x)
(All this time, I'm on my grind like
what, what, what, what,
Now grind it up, grind it up, grind it up)
Fade out
