This Pokérap is one of several created for the children’s music albums associated with each new generation of Pokémon, starting with the Kanto one released on 1998’s Pokémon: 2 B A Master album. The “raps” basically mash up the names of the Pokémon from a given generation with old-school, kid-friendly rap slang.

To see more detailed information on each Hoenn Pokémon, please see the Hoenn Pokédex on Game Genius here!

Yeezy’s referring to his own label, G.O.O.D. Music, which is geared entirely toward “Getting Out Our Dreams,” the direction ‘Ye wants to go.

If you’re so lucky to be able to join his label, you’ll be able to get out your dreams, just like the man, himself.

In light of the preceding line about Monopoly, this line is likely referring to Kyambo “Hip Hop” Joshua, Kanye’s manager back in ‘08. Joshua’s been influential in the careers of many artists including Ye, Lil Wayne, and Jay-Z.

If you think this song is sacrilegious, look at Malik Yusef’s tweet:

This line finds its roots in Psalm 82:6:

“I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High”

Of course, Ye is Kanye’s nickname.

Kanye’s middle name is Omari, which means “God the highest” in Swahili. Donda West often called her son by his middle name, as in Only One:

I hear her speak to me
Hello ‘Mari, how ya doing

Many Christians believe that Jesus Christ was sent to earth to elucidate, or make clear the way that we ought to be. Basically, Jesus is mankind’s greatest example.

Of course, that’s not the only reason Jesus was sent to us. Take John 3:16 for example.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

When he says this, he’s really saying, “when you live without accepting the salvation of Jesus Christ.” We all live in sin, since, unlike Christ, we are imperfect men and not God.

This is also what some might call a scare tactic that some of the more evangelistic Christians might use to push nonbelievers into the faith, although it is true in Christian doctrine.

Christians hold the belief that Jesus Christ was sent to earth, died on the cross, and was resurrected so that mankind might be reconciled to God and He would pay for all our sins – the wages of which is death.

As the Gospel of John tells us, Christians believe that Jesus performed his first miracle at a wedding in Cana, a place of disputed location somewhere in Galilee. At this wedding, the guests ran out of wine, and seemingly out of luck, until Jesus saved the party by miraculously turning water into wine.

Common Christian belief is that Jesus was born to Mary – a young virgin married to Joseph, who had not “known” her at the time – and placed in a manger, as there was no room in the inn.

This presents the doctrine of the virgin birth – Jesus was born from a miracle, without consummation.

When Mercutio’s fantastically fictitious Queen Mab drives over the throats of soldiers, they dream of battle, of victory in faraway places, and the consequential plundering in which they take part.

This particular soldier, however, loves living in his dreams – not so much partaking in their real counterparts. When the war drums wake him in the morning, he’s only frightened for what the day might hold, and falls back asleep – looking for a dream of the optimal military life (which, odds are, he does not lead).

ambuscadoes is a plural form of ambush.
