Cap’n Gown Lyrics by Reno Nevada

Lagniappe; or Free Breakfast For Kids

0

[producer drop]
Pyro on the beat
[Chorus]
Bought my cap and gown
While you niggas was busy cappin
Always askin, "What's happ'in
With rappin? That shit be slappin"
Niggas thought I retired but
Rather I was inspired
With dreams of being a scholar
Had to forfeit the dollar
Had to go get some knowledge
I'm tryna go back to college
My plane arriving at noon
I land La Guardia soon
And then I got me a rental
Plus all of the incidentals
And started driving it slow
Just as it started to snow
[verse]
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 tryna hide my frustration
So I got back in my car
And headed straight for the Marriot
Help me out, cause I'm hot
All they got left is a handicap
So I told em to book it
Whatever they got, I'll jugg it
So he hand me 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 em "Look bruh it's nothin"
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 callback
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
[Chorus]
Bought my cap and gown
While you niggas was busy cappin
Always askin, "What's happ'in
With rappin? That shit was slappin"
Niggas thought I retired but
Rather I was inspired
With dreams of being a scholar
Had to forfeit the dollar
Had to go get some knowledge
I'm tryna go back to college
My plane arriving at noon
I land La Guardia soon
And then I got me a rental
Plus all of the incidentals
And started driving it slow
Just as it started to snow
