About This Track

Curren$y built his reputation on the marriage of weed smoke and luxury, and 'Capitol' is a masterclass in that particular alchemy. Produced by The Innovatorz, the track finds him sketching a world of Porsches, fat pockets and the kind of ease that only comes from knowing exactly who you are. His flow is unhurried, conversational, the boasts arriving not as shouts but as statements of fact. He positions himself as a forefounder of lifestyle rap, someone who has earned the right to move through the world with a particular swagger, and the song's architecture supports that claim: every detail, from the floor rugs to the video spins, lands with the weight of lived experience. 2 Chainz arrives for the second verse with matching energy, his own reputation preceding him in much the same way. Where Curren$y deals in the texture of a life well-lived, Chainz pushes toward the spectacular, his references sharper and more baroque. The two voices complement rather than compete, each reinforcing the song's central thesis: that doing it right means doing it visibly, doing it with style, doing it like the world is watching. The chorus, built around the phrase "capital G, apostrophe D", becomes a shorthand for that philosophy, a way of saying that reputation is currency and currency is everything.

"Capitol" is a track by Curren$y, from the album The Stoned Immaculate, released 5th June 2012. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Capitol

[Intro: Curren$y]

Yeah, yeah (The Innovatorz)

It's a little brighter in here than usual

Gon' have to smoke a lil' extra

[Verse 1: Curren$y]

This Jet Life, don't scrub, you blot that

Floor rugs in the Porsche, I'm out front, and got my top back

Label me a author, forefounder of lifestyle rap

Watching these niggas borrow game

Not acknowledging where they got that

Though I fall back, let 'em run with that

Consider those my rebel kids

Clashing with they father figure

When they know they wan' be just like him

Where might I have been without my pen

To scribble about what I done with 'em

Girls that I took home last night, Chevys I sat on top them rims

I'm good in front of that camera lens, weed smoke when my video spins

At her house, rolling up in her boy shorts, my mafia bitch

Plotting up, I'm counting up, going for it cause I go and get it

So you liable to see her with me, my pockets fat, my tires skinny

Loud pack, got a louder engine, eighty large, all Benjamins

Vacationing, two nights spending, I ain't tripping

Fool, I know how to get that back, homie my triple-O showed me that

Same thing showed my how to roll them Zags

[Chorus: Curren$y]

And my reputation precedes me

They already know, I keep it capital G, apostrophe D

Going hard, making it look easy

Cause when I do what it do, I do it like I'm doing it for TV

And my reputation precedes me

They already know, I keep it capital G, apostrophe D

Going hard, making it look easy

Cause when I do what it do, I do it like I'm doing it

I do it like I'm...

[Verse 2: 2 Chainz]

2 Chainz, yeah!

You know I do it like I'm doing it for Dew

Watch the shoes, ostrich

You know what time it is like two watches

My reputation, detonation on destination

I separated, elevated, get salutation

I'm seldom seen in forest green, foreign machine

Dirty South, but the engine clean and that pussy clean

Criminal thing, a criminal mind

I got a pocket full of dead presidents, I'ma bring 'em alive

Riding shotgun, with that K on the side

Bitches that I'm done with, let 'em lay on the side

Clock on your mind, I'm ahead of your time

Hublot transform, like Optimus Prime

Diamonds on, diamonds off, shawty ass kinda soft

Tattoos, lip gloss, pockets on Rick Ross, whoop!

I'm fantasizing a tantalizing experience

Bitches like photography, I just take a pic

[Chorus: Curren$y]

And my reputation precedes me

They already know, I keep it capital G, apostrophe D

Going hard, making it look easy

Cause when I do what it do, I do it like I'm doing it for TV

And my reputation precedes me

They already know, I keep it capital G, apostrophe D

Going hard, making it look easy

Cause when I do what it do, I do it like I'm doing it

I do it like I'm...

[Verse 3: Curren$y]

I'm up in this, four-four-two on them Budnik rims

Somewhat a pimp, all them gangsta bitches fuck with him

Bring duckets in, when records wasn't really bumping

They was in love with him, to see him balling is like drugs to them

Mama calling for that Jet to put a reservation in

Ain't concerned where she going 'long as she stay with him

They be seeking that foundation, stable niggas with paper

I'm all that, but I'm stingy, you ain't write nan' one of these raps

And love, I'm so serious, you might get high from hearin' it

Get stupid fly at any event, spray some Ozium in that vent

Bring them hoes and tell them shake that shit, send my jail niggas flicks

We live it, she love it, in the kitchen, in the oven mitt

It's Jet Life over e'ry bitch

And e'ry bitch ass nigga breaking they back tryna take care of them

We get high, we laugh at them

I swear ain't no comparin' them to no nigga in my area

This Jet Life, no play time, we cut them hoes, you carry 'em

[Chorus: Curren$y]

And my reputation precedes me

They already know, I keep it capital G, apostrophe D

Going hard, making it look easy

Cause when I do what it do, I do it like I'm doing it for TV

And my reputation precedes me

They already know, I keep it capital G, apostrophe D

Going hard, making it look easy

Cause when I do what it do, I do it like I'm doing it

I do it like I'm...

[Outro: Curren$y]

Mama calling for that Jet to put a reservation in

Ain't concerned where she going 'long as she stay with him

Mama calling for that Jet to put a reservation in

She ain't concerned where she going 'long as she stay with him

They be seeking that foundation, stable niggas with paper

I'm all that, but I'm stingy, you ain't write nan' one of these raps

And love, I'm so serious, you might get high from hearin' it

Yeah
