…a trail of breadcrumbs, or drops of blood, the scent of cinnamon, how you would sprinkle it into my coffee like fresh ground…
…snowflakes, i can't take cinnamon in my coffee without being hungry for your laughter, i am hungry for your laughter but my mouth tastes…
…like the slow dissolved of the last i love you that refuse to leave it. Remember the river? How we danced…

She dreams china white behind her eyes of china blue
Her future wrapped in velvet and her memories wrapped in warm cotton
Wool
And the coffee…
…since yesterday
The time goes by so slow
When you're waiting on a man, waiting on a man to show
She shivers in a cold sweat…
…admit and more than others need to know,
She hopes the knots that tie her stomach are only butterflies,
The time goes by so slow
When…

She dreams china white behind her eyes of china blue
Her future wrapped in velvet and her memories wrapped in warm cotton wool
And the coffee…
…to seconds
When you're waiting on a man
It seems so long since yesterday
The time goes by so slow
When you're waiting…
…stomach are only butterflies
The time goes by so slow
When you're waiting on a man, waiting on a man to show.

Her future wrapped in velvet and her memories wrapped in warm cotton

And the coffee…

The time goes by so slow
When you're waiting on a man, waiting on a man to show

…[Verse 1]
In the morning we wreck the bed
You bring me coffee black and boiling
Then we start up again
And the coffee goes cold
I…
…wake up drinking from your lips
Kisses warm and tender
And I'd give up the world
Just to see you smile
[Chorus]
One things I…
…into Mr. Hyde
I ran for cover, but I ran too slow
I was stitched by strangers
And they shook their heads
That someone could do…

In the morning we wreck the bed
You bring me coffee black and boiling
Then we start up again and the coffee goes cold
I wake up…
…drinking from your lips
Kisses warm and tender
And I'd give up the world just to see you smile
One thing I will never understand…
…for cover but I ran too slow
I was stitched by strangers
And they shook their heads that someone could do the things you did
One thing I…

…the engine warm

Millennium Dodo
Pull out your telephone and take you a photo
You didn't know? Better read the logo
You don't wanna…
…play around and get ocho
Recline like I don't care
The world is mine and I ain't gon' share
Now everybody blow smoke in the air
I…
…with a bandaged fist
To represent the last half of the damn I give
Play me in slow-mo', fly like a blimp
Millennium Dodo, drive…

…and pulling in residuals
Go to the movies get the Rolos, the cholos riding slow and low
Mike…
…for disturbing the peace
The neck, tortoise. Your Lees are creased
Hot cup of coffee and the donuts are Dunkin
Friday night and Jamaica Queens funkin…

Elevated platform, I'm never gonna conform
Riding over the diner where I always get my toast warm
Bust into the conductor's booth…

…on Casino talk, but I won't ramble on
I shall slow it down for ya', I'll let the words run on
[Chorus]
You ain't got no right to say I'm…
…no right to say I'm not authentic
'Cause Christ the only who let me be authentic

This is just a warm up to what I get from…
This Is Us S1x03]
You think I don't live in a black man's world. The one where that salesman there has been eyeballing us ever since we…

…start it off slow and begin when he rhyme
The fucking simplest shit dawg, you just spit it in time
He'll say "fucking…
…"The Man Cave"
And trying to fuck her is like dropping a coffee straw through the top of a lampshade
You can tell by the way he's…
…?
You wanna become friends with us?
Maybe gets some drinks after?
Well maybe if you want the world to give you what you want
You…

…or if there would be a trick to it. If they'd make him guess. he was getting to be a pretty old dog—he'd be thirty this year—but this particular game was new to him.
At least it was warm…
…: a windshield between him and the world, always slipping down his nose and getting smudged when he pushed them up again. When he put them back…
…for the novelty coffee mugs and their trenchant commentary on the little ironies of everyday life. What he meant was: let's pretend we don't know…

…it would be cold as fuck
Shiverin' in my sock, servin' ice for ten bucks
And you'd be in the house, all warm and shit
And ya ass got…
…while you combin' ya hair
Ya productivity is wack bring that box here fo-sheezy
Go get some coffee, player, punch out before ya…
…life and in the end still suffer
'Cause the world is controlled by you lazy motherfuckers
Lazy motherfucker, lazy motherfucker
You's…
