See we gotta talk about this situation
Its effecting lives
It aint right c’mon
Let’s talk about it
Let’s let it be known
Cause if we don’t talk about it
Then they’ll never pick up a phone
You see everyday a woman cries
For someone in the world to realizes
That she is a victim of her husband’s abuse
I don’t understand you see
When the 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
Let her kids watch her soul die
I don’t understand but
She’s back at that kitchen table
With a cigarette between her lips
And smoke in her eyes
As she cries
With a fresh cup of coffee
Chorus
Can find no peace in a cup of coffee (x3)
Gotta let it go baby
Can find no peace in a cup of coffee (x3)
She is a soul
Trapped in a torn body
And the doctor says can you
Please hold still so we can stop the blood flowing
I don’t understand I mean
Doesn’t it hurt you 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 see?
Oh my god he’s hurting me
I don’t understand and the counsel walks in
She ask you
Are you gonna let him go?
But you bite your bottom lips
And the blood shed
And you still say no
What’s that you say?
I gotta stand by my man
He’s doing the best that he can
And the counsel say girl
You better think again
She tries her best to serve you a cup of tea
To make you will see
But still you ask
Can I have a fresh cup of coffee?
No
Chorus
Can find no peace in a cup of coffee (x3)
Gotta let it go baby
Can find no peace in a cup of coffee (x3)
Your babies crying
They’re crying mama mama please
Don’t die you and you wanna say something
But you’re choking up blood
And you wanna say baby please don’t cry
And the police they come rushing in
But they’re too late
They ask you question
But your mind is in a coma state
I don’t understand and your ancestors your ancestors are calling
They’re calling peace is near
But the peace you feel is the peace you fear
And once again they saved you
From a life of rage
Given to you by the husband you once loved
Who is now locked in a cage
Now you see now that I do understand
Don’t let death or near death
Be your last resolution
Don’t let coffee be your only solution
No
Chorus
Can find no peace in a cup of coffee (x3)
Gotta let it go baby
Can find no peace in a cup of coffee (x3)
