[Intro]
(Yeah)
Okay, Kyle
You said all of them, right?
Bet
[Verse 1]
Lil Kyle with the cap turned crooked
Starter on his belt, no rookie
Backpack heavy but his heart more stubborn
Says “fill the whole ‘dex,” mom’s yellin’ “you buggin’”
Sun up
Bike chain rattlin’, he’s runnin’
Tall grass, tall task
Every time, he loves it
Reads stats like scripture
Draws teams in his notebook
Friends talk grades
He talkin’ how the squad look
[Chorus]
Kyle gotta catch all that Pokémon (all that)
Has to get them all, can’t stop till it’s done (nah)
Gotta be a man, not a man-child, son (yeah)
Gotta be a player when the pressure come (what up)
Kyle gotta catch all that Pokémon (all that)
Even when the path feel a mile too long
Has to get them all, that’s the way he’s strong
Gotta be a player, level up, move on (let’s go)
[Verse 2]
Teenage, cheap job, late shifts, no breaks
Clock out, clock in on a handheld save
Bus ride home, gym plans in his brain
Sees life like a ladder full of name-by-name
Grind for the coin, grind for the win
Sees fear flash red, then he taps it again
Coach said “son, real world hits harder”
He said “so I train till my thumbs get armor”
Game taught patience
Taught him how to stand
Face what’s wild
Then reach for the band
If he runs outta luck, still run toward the smoke
Same kid, new fit, same unbent hope
[Chorus]
Kyle gotta catch all that Pokémon (all that)
Has to get them all, can’t stop till it’s done (keep goin’)
Gotta be a man, not a man-child, son
Gotta be a player when the pressure come
Kyle gotta catch all that Pokémon (yeah)
Even when the path feel a mile too long
Has to get them all, that’s the way he’s strong
Gotta be a player, level up, move on (move on)
[Bridge]
From the backyard battles
To the big boy bills
Same heart, same hustle
Just a new type of thrill
If life throw shade
He evolve in the sun
Little kid with the cards
Turned a king out the run (woo)
[Chorus]
Kyle gotta catch all that Pokémon (all that)
Has to get them all, can’t stop till it’s done
Gotta be a man, not a man-child, son
Gotta be a player when the pressure come
Kyle gotta catch all that Pokémon (yeah)
Even when the path feel a mile too long
Has to get them all, that’s the way he’s strong
Gotta be a player, level up, move on (Kyle!)
