Arabic British Cafe

[Verse 1] I’ve been working from home for a week My body’s tired from staring at the screen all day And eating lunch at home just adds a little weight [Verse 2] So I’m thinking maybe I should take a walk There’s a coffee shop I meant to visit the other day A twenty‑minute stroll might help me lose some weight [Pre‑Chorus] The weather’s good I’m catching sunshine I hope I can breathe Escaping from my virtual office space [Chorus] Here comes a British‑style café But the staff are from warm Middle Eastern places The setting is cozy with plenty of space It definitely gives my mind some space A sandwich and a regular latte The Arabic barista is never late I really enjoy this café Never mind if I return to work late [Verse 3] I used to work at full speed Cutting lunch to fifteen minutes fixing messes left by other lads But today, I’m taking my full one‑hour break [Pre‑Chorus] The sky is sunny The wind blows gently My eyes start losing focus Mentally I’m drifting back to the virtual space [Chorus] I’m sitting in this British‑style café Chatting with an Arabic barista today My ideas are flowing surprisingly great I think I’ll write a song with an Arabic vibe [Barista Rap] Ahlan wa sahlan, ya sadiqi, welcome in my place, Coffee in my hand, and a smile upon my face, Ushrab w irtaah — drink and relax, Forget all the deadlines, forget all the tasks. Bayti maftooh — my café is your home, Sit down, take a moment, let your mind roam, Enjoy the latte, enjoy the day, You’re always welcome — come back any day. [Chorus] A sandwich and a regular latte It’s nice to meet someone in another place I really enjoy this café Chatting with my friends in the virtual space [Outro] I’ll use my full one‑hour break I’ll use the time to breathe I’ll use it to lose some weight I’ll write another song along the way
