COFFEE BEAN
Travi$ Scott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(This is all)

Bad-bad news, I'm just bad-bad news
Good thing, the two, Bonnie and Clyde
The money and who?
It's bad news, bad-bad for you
But I'm back on the coffee bean
Anything in between (this is all, this is all)
Back of the coffee line
Back-back-back in the bathroom line (this is all)

How would you feel if I had you?
Trust me, you'd be mad too
But shawty, we can be mad cool
Just hit me if anything past due
Your family told you I'm a bad move
Plus I'm already a black dude
Leavin' the bathroom, my hands is half-rinsed
If only a nigga just had sense
Speaking in past tense
It's been a week and a half since
We ain't been speaking and that meant
You feeling free in my absence
I've been going through a lot behind this glass tint, yeah
(This is all, this is all)

Back of the coffee line
Back-back-back in the bathroom line (this is-)
I know they told you I'd be bad for you
Don't worry I'll be back for you
All the money and cars
Stripper hoes and the tattoos, bad news
Back off a coffee bean
Reflecting on all you see (this is all, this is all)

Stressing over award shows
She's stressin' over her wardrobe
Bought the mansion on foreclose
No matter how many tickets your tour sold
You feel this deep in your torso
Feel like someone's readin' your horoscope
Some shit only me and the Lord knows
SOS, that's for those who hear this in morse code
Too many doors closed Cul-de-sacs and foor doors
Still ended up at the North Pole
This is where remorse goes
This shit'll have you in divorce court
Fighting over your seeds, writing over your deeds, sliding over your keys
Alimony and fees, as your lawyer proceeds
To give out bad news

I'm just bad-bad news
Good thing, the two, Bonnie and Clyde
The money and who?
It's bad news, bad-bad for you
But I'm back on the coffee bean
Anything in between (this is all, this is all)




Back of the coffee line
Back-back-back in the bathroom line (this is all)

Overall Meaning

Travi$ Scott's song "Coffee Bean" is a melancholy reflection on the ups and downs of fame, success, and relationships. The lyrics describe the consequences of his actions, both in his personal life and his career. The first verse describes how Travis is aware of his negative reputation, yet he acknowledges his affinity to the dream of power and wealth, just like Bonnie and Clyde, which cultivates the bad perception he carries. He also admits to love and attachment, inviting his significant other to work or last out their relationship. However, he understands his own standing, and despite himself, he belongs in the bad news category.


The chorus ("Back of the coffee line, back-back-back in the bathroom line, this is all") serves as a mantra of sorts, putting things into perspective and emphasizing the trivialization of life circumstances. The second verse describes the consequences of the road to success: missed moments and wasted time. The singer has preoccupation with the superficial nature of recognition like award shows, to the extent where he imagines somebody decoding the universe through songs, his obsession rendering him delusional. He regrets on how he has sacrificed crucial moments with loved ones while he shuttles from one opportunity to the next.


In a nutshell, "Coffee Bean" showcases the complexities of the life of the rich and famous, as well as the imperative ups and downs of relationships. It seeks to paint of the struggles faced by celebrities in their line of career.
