Coffee (Soulsinger Version)

See, we've got to talk about this situation

It's affecting lives, it ain't right

Come on, let's talk about it

Let's let it be known

Cause if we don't talk about it

Then [?] will never pick up the phone

You see, ever day a woman cries

For someone in the world to realize

That she is a victim of husband's abuse

I don't understand you see  when a system starts to fail

And

The husband leaves the jail

She begins to think that telling someone is no use

She can either run or hide

Or stay with him

And then kids can watch her soul die

I don t understand

But she is back at that kitchen table

With a cigarette between her lips

And smoking [?] her eyes as she cries

With a fresh cup of coffee

Can't find no peace in a cup of coffee

Can't find no peace in a cup of coffee

Can't find no peace in a cup of coffee

You've gotta let him go baby

Can't find no peace in a cup of coffee

Can't find no peace in a cup of coffee

Can't find no peace in a cup of coffee

She is a soul

Trapped in a torn body

And the doctors say

"Can you hold still as we stop blood from flowing?"

I don't understand

I mean, doesn't it hurt where he hit you in your head

Just inches from your skull

Inches from being dead

I don't understand

I mean doesn't the pain make you say

"Oh my God, he is hurting me..."

I don't understand

And the councilor walks in

And she asks you "Are you gonna let him go?'

But you bite your bottom lip and blood sheds instead

You say no

"What's that you say?"

"I've gotta stand by my man, he is doing the best that he can.."

And the councilor says "Girl, you better think again!"

So she tries her best to serve you a cup of tea to make you see

But still you ask, "Can i have a fresh cup of coffee?"

NO!

Can't find no peace in a cup of coffee

Can't find no peace in a cup of coffee

Can't find no peace in a cup of coffee

You've gotta let him go baby

Can't find no peace in a cup of coffee

Can't find no peace in a cup of coffee

Can't find no peace in a cup of coffee

Your babies crying

They are crying "Mama, mama please don't die"

And you wanna say something, but you're choking up blood

You wanna say "Baby please don't cry"

And police, they come rushing in

Too late

They ask you questions

But your mind is in a coma state

I don't understand

And your ancestors, your ancestors are calling

They are calling

[?]

But the peace you feel is the peace you fear

And once again they saved you

From the life of rage

Given to you by the husband you once loved

Who is now locked in a cage

See, now that I understand

Don't let death or near death be your last resolution

Don't let let coffee be your only solution

Can't find no peace in a cup of coffee

You've gotta let him go baby

[Scatting]

Can't find no peace in a cup of coffee

You've gotta let him go baby

You better play that thing

Can't find no peace

[Scatting]

Can't find no peace in a cup of coffee
