Reno Nevada - Cap 'n' Gown Lyrics
Official




Bought my cap and gown while you niggas was busy capping
Always asking what's happening with rapping? That shit be slapping
Niggas thought I retired, but rather I was inspired
With dreams of being a scholar, had to forfeit the dollar
Had to go get me some knowledge I'm tryin' to go back to college
My plane arrive in at noon, I land Laguardia soon
And then I got me a rental plus all of the incidentals
And started driving it slow, just as it started to snow
Drove my way out to Connecticut parked that bitch in New Haven
For my audition at Yale I'm never afraid to fail
Right after I got rejected, I couldn't be too affected
I got me one in the morning, that one I really wanted
So I headed to DC, got some gas at a BP
Got there one in the am and pulled up where I was staying
Dropped my car at the valet the concierges doing a ballet
They can't find my reservation I'm trying to hide my frustration
So I got back in my car, and headed straight for the Marriott
Help me out cause I'm hot, all they got left is a handicap
So I told him to book it whatever they got I'll jugg it
So he hand me the keys and he tipped his hat to me crooked
I woke up early the same day, got a drink at the cafe
Headed to my location to give 'em a demonstration
To be or not imitation of Hamlet in contemplation
On how to gain domination with all of these complications
And philosophically wrestle with matters of earthly vessel
Of how to come out successful when every decision stressful
After I finally finished and gave 'em my final sentence
They told me wait round a minute, they gotta talk and politic
I made my way to the exit
Made my way through the lobby
To step outside for some air
But first I had to go potty
I noticed my nerves were shotty and so I lit up a cigarette
Shortly after a thespian joined me who hadn't auditioned yet
We exchanged introductions
He asked to share what I'm puffing
I passed him my last combustion
And told him look bruh it's nothing
Then ran back to my hotel cause my checkout was at eleven
Threw my bags in the car and I drove to my prior setting
And found out I got a call back, had to audition again
This one right here for the win
Can't take one more on the chin
I should hear back in a month
Met up with Jordan for lunch, at some spot labeled Daikaya
For ramen that shit was fire
I slept for a couple hours then got right back on the road
I'm headed back to New York where the streets smell like a commode
To do my final auditions and head back to my abode
And leave it up to the stars and let the future unfold
But I bought my cap and gown while you niggas was busy capping
Always asking what's happening with rapping? That shit was slapping
Niggas thought I retired, but rather I was inspired
With dreams of being a scholar, had to forfeit the dollar
Had to go get me some knowledge I'm tryin' to go back to college
My plane arrive in at noon, I land Laguardia soon
And then I got me a rental plus all of the incidentals
And started driving it slow, just as it started to snow
