freshly ground and fully prepared
way back yonder when i don't know when
see i got hungover before i was ten
you see my skin is white but my soul is black
that's what i'm talking about
you've got to feel it in the air
it's as good as it can be
but it's a cup of black coffee
that a working man needs to see
where it's the land of the free
and you can get what you want if you've got that do re mi
and i'm working like a slave
yeah i'm independent and you know i get paid
and i got me a little place
i got a spit of black coffee
i said a dime is all it costs in the states
for a cup of black coffee and how good it tastes
that's what i'm talking about
and it's what i'm talking about
