[Verse 1] Latte lungs an' espresso dreams, Bitter taste on my lips like schemes, Wake up late, still chase routines, Mind move quick, but I’m burst at the seams. Double shot truth in a paper cup, Sip like hope, yeah it lifts me up, Buzz in my chest like a siren sings, But I crash by noon, can’t feel my wings. Steam off the top, I’m stressin’ still, Flat white thoughts in a house that’s chill, But I keep on pourin’, I crave that thrill, Every sip’s war, I just want that kill. [Hook] Brewed an’ wired, feelin’ alive, Heart’s on tilt, but I still survive. Eyes wide shot, and my pulse gone fast, Love this ride, but it never lasts. Caffeine king in a broke man’s crown, One sip up, next minute I’m down. Bitter but sweet, it’s a friend and a foe, Still I queue up for that black gold glow. [Verse 2] Spent six quid on a roast that’s rich, Still broke but I twitch like I’m switchin’ glitch, Think I’m slick, brain tick like a wristwatch trick, But I’m lookin’ in the mirror like “bruv, you’re sick.” Insomnia’s my side ting, plays me slow, Lie in bed with a head like “go go go!” While the world’s on mute and the sky stays black, My thoughts do laps like a cul-de-sac. Sip pride, sip pain, sip hope, sip loss, In a city that don’t stop, I count the cost. Cups stack up like unpaid rent, But I buy that brew, it’s my daily vent. [Hook] Brewed an’ wired, feelin’ alive, Heart’s on tilt, but I still survive. Eyes wide shot, and my pulse gone fast, Love this ride, but it never lasts. Caffeine king in a broke man’s crown, One sip up, next minute I’m down. Bitter but sweet, it’s a friend and a foe, Still I queue up for that black gold glow. [Outro – Spoken Word Flow] Ain’t just a drink, it’s ritual, Like scripture in a heatproof mug. Binds us all in caffeine fog, City breathin’ steam from every jug. It’s love. And it’s madness. And I’m just tryna manage this balance. 'Cause the grind don’t stop — but neither do I. Til the last drip drops, and the cup runs dry.
