[Intro] Teacher said keep the work neat… Funny thing… Life never shows the steps. [Beatbox Intro] Buh — kuh — tss Buh — kuh — tss [Verse 1] Chalk dust float while the numbers align, Small talk resting under the line. Teacher said carry the one if the column too wide, Some weights travel quiet on the inside. Two plus two when the lesson stay simple, Answers look strange when the margins wrinkle. X on the board like a name gone missing, Everybody search but nobody listening. Decimal point where the silence break, Little shifts make the whole sum shake. Bell ring loud but the work stay quiet, Certain problems solved if you just outlast it. [Hook – Glitch Echo] Math ain't mathin'… (math… math…) Numbers off… (off… off…) Sum look right… (right… right…) Something wrong. (wrong… wrong…) [Verse 2] Grid on the page keep the digits in place, Lines outside move at a different pace. Borrow a ten when the column run thin, Funny how that rule still echo within. Graph got angles that look real clean, Life draw curves in the space between. Probability say the odds look fair, But the count feel off when you standing there. Teacher said show every step that led, Some moves never meant to be read. Bell ring twice and the hallway bends, Every answer different depending who ends. [Hook – Glitch Echo] Math ain't mathin'… (math… math…) Numbers off… (off… off…) Sum look right… (right… right…) Something wrong. (wrong… wrong…) [Beatbox Break] Buh… kuh… tss… buh-kuh-tss-kuh buh-kuh-tss-kuh [Verse 3] Equal sign sitting calm in the middle, Both sides quiet but the balance brittle. Square root deep where the numbers hide, Some truths show when the surface divide. Tables repeat till the pattern stick, Certain rhythms move a little too quick. Long division stretch the margin thin, Whole lotta space where the parts been. Teacher said check where the numbers land, Sometimes the answer don't fit the plan. [Beatbox Drop] Buh kuh tss buh-kuh tss buh-kuh tss [Outro – System Glitch] Two plus two… (two… two…) Still counting… (count… count…)
