Cap 'n' Gown Lyrics

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
