Sage Francis : Cup of Tea

[seanusmonkey]

Listening to the first half the words ring true to taking care of someone with Alzheimers. It doesn't hold through to the rest of the song, but just shows how we all hear things differently.

[Murderith7]

But the green part throws off that metaphor

[Murderith7]

it could be about crack. Especially given the last line.

[Paaaaater]

I think it's indeed his reflection in his cup of tea he is talking too.. and the "Green Tea" must be a metaphore for the ganja

[astumpe80]

Well....I think its open to interpretation, and that's part of what makes it so good.

[eif1000]

ive heard an earlier version of this . anyone have the original recording?

[misslesea]

I think this is a poem some bitch sent him

[eif1000]

@misslesea i think its a song to his ego aka psychological defects.

[Vhaeos]

[Paaaaater]

[MehMehBear]

Anyone know the sample used at the end?

[TheLastLaffer]

[dHARMa187]

Anybody know where I can get this instrumental? This is the perfect beat for battle raps!

[lusidghost]

This has always been my favorite SF song. thanks for posting it.

[TheWiretap]

Haven't heard this track for ages.

[Basicpiviot]

I dont think he's talking to the devil, he's looking down at his reflection in his teacup

[theInfamous3]

@Basicpiviot true.

[OM3N1R]

@Basicpiviot

I always thought it was him talking with his dad after the second verse.

[Southwik]

[jakegloveslap]

[littleb85]

@jakegloveslap i first heard 'personal journalist' from the personal journals album in 2006, and he had been in the game for a little bit before then, i think. but yes, he is an awesome lyricist!
