Flip That Fraction

[Intro] Yeah A little math for the block Watch me break it down clean [Verse 1] Got a fraction in the streets, top and bottom on the page One part here, one part there, that’s the setup on the gauge Dividing means split it, but we flip what comes next Keep the first one, switch the second, that’s the whole connect Two thirds ÷ one half Don’t panic, stay live Write two thirds, change the sign Then flip one half right on time Now it’s two thirds × two Four sixths, that’s true Trim it down, keep it neat Two over three, complete [Chorus] Keep, change, flip Keep, change, flip Then multiply quick Keep, change, flip Keep, change, flip That’s the math we grip [Post-Chorus] Flip it Then hit it Multiply Now split it Flip it Then hit it That’s how you get it [Verse 2] If the problem says three fourths ÷ two thirds Do the same move, let the lesson be heard Keep three fourths where it stands Change divide to times in your hands Flip two thirds to three over two That’s the switch you gotta do Three fourths times three over two Nine eighths, look what it grew Improper number, that’s fine Big as a whole, still valid line Mixed number if you choose But the fraction math don’t lose [Chorus] Keep, change, flip Keep, change, flip Then multiply quick Keep, change, flip Keep, change, flip That’s the math we grip [Post-Chorus] Flip it Then hit it Multiply Now split it Flip it Then hit it That’s how you get it [Verse 3] Whole numbers want a costume, dress ’em like a fraction first Five becomes five over one, now the rule can work Five over one ÷ one fifth Keep that first one, watch it shift Change divide to times, no fear Flip one fifth to five, bring it here Five over one times five over one Twenty-five, and we’re done If it’s a whole number, hear my call Put one beneath it, then go all in, y’all [Bridge] Hold up, check the sign Is it divide? Then flip that line Keep the first, don’t make it tough Change the operator, that’s enough If the answer looks huge, don’t stress Fractions can grow, that’s the test Clean it up, reduce the score Then walk it back like you know the law [Verse 4] Now let’s talk canceling before the final blast Cross out common factors, make the work go fast Four over six ÷ two over three Keep four over six, flip that key Now four over six times three over two Cancel the two, and the three if you do Left with four over one times one over one Two over one, and the job is done Cancel smart, but only across Not up and down, keep your cause Numerator with denominator That’s the route, no disorder, player [Chorus] Keep, change, flip Keep, change, flip Then multiply quick Keep, change, flip Keep, change, flip That’s the math we grip [Post-Chorus] Flip it Then hit it Multiply Now split it Flip it Then hit it That’s how you get it [Verse 5] If the answer’s bigger than the one you started with That can happen, don’t call it a myth Division can make the result rise tall Like two thirds ÷ one fourth, watch it ball Keep two thirds, change the sign Flip one fourth, then cross that line Two thirds times four over one Eight thirds, and the lesson’s done If you want it mixed, make it proper Two and two thirds, real smooth, no stopper Count the whole, count the rest Then you got the answer at its best [Bridge] One more time, let it stay First stays first, then flip away Times is the sign after change Multiply through, rearrange Reduce if you can, that’s smart Show your work right from the start From the first bar to the last You can divide fractions fast [Outro] Keep, change, flip Now you know the script Keep, change, flip Fractions don’t slip Keep, change, flip Teach it to the clique Keep, change, flip Yeah, math that sticks
