lyrics

Tumble out of bed, and then I stumble to the kitchen
Pour a cup of motherfucking ambition
And then another one, and then another one
And then I tell myself yo, time to go, I’m getting nothing done

And then another one, and hit the ground running
Eyeballs vibrating, blood pumping
Make it three blocks, stop into a shop, and then another one
I ain’t even teasing, barista, keep them coming

I’ve done dozens of substances dumped them into my brain
I’ve snorted meth, smoked crack, done a ton of cocaine
I’ve used painkillers, booze, smoked an acre of weed
But the drug I’ll never quit, the only one that I need

Is that coffee – there’s just never enough
Of that coffee – hot black god in a cup
I need coffee – when I’m off and unstable
Bring me coffee – just leave the pot on the table

Been addicted for forever, I remember when we’d call
A pot of coffee mixed with bong rips a hippie speedball
You got what I need, you say that I’m just a fiend
While I’m doing lines of Turkish grind, chewing on robusta beans

And you must’ve seen me at the Dunkin’ D
Bench-pressing French presses, high functioning
Ain’t got a problem, and I’m not gonna stop
Come on pop on a fresh pot and keep on topping me off

I’ve tried religion and philosophy, karate in lessons
Meditation, astrology, lots of anti-depressants
I’ve tried every known sex act and tried them all twice
But none of them touch my most reliable vice

And that’s coffee – give your insides a hug
With that coffee – like liquid love in a mug
I need coffee – at its worst it’s still never bad
Give me coffee – best friend I’ve ever had

I’ll take it piping hot, I’ll take it on ice
Line up those espresso shots, I’ll pay any price
Yeah, I’ll take it right now, talk to me later, neighbor
I’ll take it if a fish was in the percolator, hater

Take it in sorbet, take it with Bailey’s
Awakening heroic doses, I take them daily
Bring another carafe, I’m ready for more
But if you’re bringing decaf, we’re headed for war

I’ve done dozens of substances, dumped them into my brain
I’ve snorted meth, smoked crack, done a ton of cocaine
I’ve used painkillers, booze, smoked an acre of weed
But the drug I’ll never quit, the only one that I need

Is that coffee – there’s just never enough
Of that coffee – hot black god in a cup
I need coffee – when I’m off and unstable
Bring me coffee – just leave the pot on the table

Yo, I get a bloody nose huffing nutty overtones
Sucking down another cup, buzzing like a junkie’s phone
Giggling idiot, I tickle both funny bones
Feel like Jackpots, looking like Dougie Jones

Cold overdosing going for another one
And then another one at 3am, I’m never done
Wide awake shaking, I should be in my bed
And then another one, fuck it, y’all, I’ll sleep when I’m dead
