from the corner to the coffeeshop - timothy welbeck lyrics
verse 1
at the intersection of drudgery and crushing peace/martin is starting his day, but doesn’t feel up to speed/he’s in a rush to leave, he hasn’t had much to eat/but up he leaves, reluctantly moving sullen feet/see, he wants a corner office, so you might find martin on the corners often/but he’s not pushing weight like the boys who scoff him/he’s waiting on the bus so he can pour some coffee/selling coffee he can’t pr-nounce in amounts he can’t afford/by days end, he’s seen thousands pour through the door/for sure he wants more, there’s other things he’d like to explore/but right now, martin sure to endure/but making macchiatos can break a man’s bravado/but for right now he’s taking solace saving for tomorrow/so when you see martin on the scene grinding on the scene/martin is grinding on the beans, because martin has a dream
verse 2 (james gardin)
at the intersection of the new york times and a law firm/scott’s transferring funds that are hard earned/you see this jacket, it’s tom ford, something can’t afford/and this kid’s making my coffee, but he’s caught in a daydream/i need more espresso that cup is looking like straight seed/don’t fill it so i don’t spill, you know i gotta stay clean/or like these streets, i see a thug out there getting his stocks up/those are the type of defendants that i just lock up/he’s looking like a price tag, or a pair of shoes that i might grab/you know what, let me get a danish/go ahead, just throw that in my bag/and no tip, you know i’m a cheapskate/10,000 sitting in my briefcase
hook
from the coffeeshop to corner, whatever the day brings/when it’s all said and done, they want the same thing/they want the same thing, they want the same thing, they want the same thing/from the corner to the coffeeshop, whatever the day brings/they want the same thing, they want the same thing/they want the same thing, when it’s all said and done, they want the same thing
verse 3 (chill moody)
on the corner of right and wrong, that’s where i’ll start this poem/sean trying to get some green up in his palm/growing up with dreams to be lebron/now he only dreams of being on/yeah, sean’s trying to be the don/but sean is a follower, even though he won’t acknowledge it/that’s how he lost his scholarship/momma p-ssed, bills piling in, don’t want him to be the man of the house/naw she just wants him out of it/now home is what he calls the block/on a strip that’s often hot/can’t even get the law to stop/he wanna serve ‘em as they pull up to the parking spot/at the intersection down by the coffeeshop/cats he grew up with, either buried ‘cause they grew up quick/or serving time ‘cause they grew up mitch/paid dues to be paid in full/now his mom waits by the tube till the day sean makes the news
verse 4 (scenario)
minimum wage, white slinging the haze/he on the corner with his steel tucked, fitted, and braids/a steady job, working brother can’t get ‘im a raise/ dope boy get it for days/looking at the dollar he praise/the first man standing still slaving by the coffee pot/feeling like it’s all drugs, thinking about what coffee got/the other man on the block ducking all the cops/slinging out the young jock’s spot, call it the coffee shop/some days he even think about getting it/frank lucas blue bags, b-mp j clipping it/noreaga cocaine, rick ross whipping/jim jones c-ke cash, y’all not getting it/it’s all funny the same corner, the same time/the same morning just trying to get past the gang signs/he had a thought in his head if he should he change grinds/cause crack got his boy a car that look like james bond’s/9-5, got off around 5:30/came back to the corner, ready to get down and dirty/right there he usually see his man doped up/but heard he got poked up/rolled up in his coffin with his throat cut/yeah, right there he made his choice/he’d rather do it god’s way, listen for the voice/yeah because he’d rather not die/on the corner slinging chris rock for a top five
hook
from the coffeeshop to corner, whatever the day brings/when it’s all said and done, they want the same thing/they want the same thing, they want the same thing, they want the same thing/from the corner to the coffeeshop, whatever the day brings/they want the same thing, they want the same thing/they want the same thing, when it’s all said and done, they want the same thing
