Barista By Day

(album: Anuhea - 2009)

Barista by day and I'm trying to say
Gotta keep it real like every day
Brewing that drip from the morning light
I gotta be on time, gotta be polite
99 problems but a twitch ain't one
Keep slinging that coffee bean 7 to 1
I'll pick up that shift on a holiday
Just drop me a dollar bill after you pay

Get your fix of the drip that I'll provide for you
But baby that's not all that I can do

Waiting in a line
You're never gonna find
The way you gotta make it happen
Working in a grind
But I don't really mind
'cause I know I'm gonna make it happen
Waiting in a line you're never gonna find
The way you gotta make it happpen
Working in a grind
But I don't really mind
'cause I know I'm gonna make it happen

Barista by day but I'm so risque
Gotta catch my thrills on the clock all day
I'm that girl that's dressed in green
With a fake fake smile just working that steam
When you act dumb my mouth is shut
I'm just that girl giving you your cup
Of a triple venti mocha frappe extra whip skinny
Latte with a double cup sprinkled with vanilli

Top it all off with a cinnamon roll
That's $6.99 and it's all to go

Waiting in a line
You're never gonna find
The way you gotta make it happen
Working in a grind
But I don't really mind
'cause I know I'm gonna make it happen
Waiting in a line you're never gonna find
The way you gotta make it happen
Working in a grind
But I don't really mind
'cause I know I'm gonna make it happen

So I make great foam in your latte
Forget to charge for that extra shot, eh?
Living off the dough that you just spent
Chamomile callouses pay my rent

Waiting in a line
You're never gonna find
The way you gotta make it happen
Working in a grind
But I don't really mind
'cause I know I'm gonna make it happen
Waiting in a line you're never gonna find
The way you gotta make it happen
Working in a grind
But I don't really mind
'cause I know I'm gonna make it happen

Brewing that drip from the morning light
I gotta be on time, gotta be polite
Barista by day, barista by day
Barista by day and I'm trying to say

Waiting in a line
You're never gonna find
The way you gotta make it happen
Working in a grind
But I don't really mind
'cause I know I'm gonna make it happen
