“Rapture” is the opening track of the homonymous debut project by the rising-star of reggae Koffee, released on March 14, 2019 under Columbia.
The chorus and the first verse of the song interpolate a freestyle that was originally featured on the sixth episode of BBC Radio 1Xtra’s series “Buss Bars”...
[Intro]
Koffee come in like a rapture
[Chorus]
Koffee come in like a rapture
And everybody get capture
Place lift up like helicopter
When dem see di lyrics contractor
Koffee come in like a rapture
And everybody get capture
Place lift up like helicopter, ayy
When dem see di lyrical doctor
[Verse 1]
Koffee hottin' up di temperature, fi dem see
Mi know dem envy but friend mi fi end mi
Yo a first mi see people deh round me so plenty
But mi pocket nuh empty, mi need space, oh Lord, yeah, me
See dem a watch me through a crack now
A mussi true me have di ting pon lock down
Sitting ina di Bentley, pickiny a di century
Yuh drench mi but fi mi fiyah gon blaze
And a same way suh mi see di enemy a protest (Oh)
And him couldn't come di closest (No)
A Koffee still a do the mostest
A wah me do put in the work and trust di process
Oh yes, a so we grind right now
Koffee wid di, Koffee wid di prime time flow
Time fi we accumulate di coins I know
And me seh Jah gimme di, Jah gimme di signs like woah
[Chorus]
Koffee come in like a rapture
And everybody get capture
Place lift up like helicopter
When dem see di lyrics contractor
Koffee come in like a rapture
And everybody get capture
Place lift up like helicopter, ayy
When dem see di lyrical doctor
[Verse 2]
Tell dem Jah gimme no limit, no
Dem seh Koffee but you a whole midget, grow
But when mi spit lyrics mi doh fidget wid it, sho' did it
Gold wid it like mi gold dig it, pro

Di God weh mi serve mi seh him timely yuh si

When mi come around lif up di whole town
Any weh me show up is a show down (Yo)
Every African crew a bubble hotta dan stew
We still na buil until the Vatican slew
Mi will hold still until di Koffee tun blue
Tell dem gwaan chill until di Koffee done brew, ooh
[Chorus]
Koffee come in like a rapture
And everybody get capture
Place lift up like helicopter
When dem see di lyrics contractor
Koffee come in like a rapture
And everybody get capture
Place lift up like helicopter, ayy
When dem see di lyrical doctor
[Outro]
Koffee come in like a rapture
Koffee come in
Koffee come in like a rapture
Koffee come in
Koffee come in like a rapture
