If you ain’t in the forest, do you catch
The rude crash of the tree fall for your smooth tracks?
Whether it’s laden with lead as the vehicle
Or processed into pads, that’s the first part of when new raps
Add to the pencil and pad: a brain that your crew lacks
Every part of the verse is a clue up on new’s map
Tattooed up on new’s back; Scofield with the cool plan
Multiply it by your dude’s fam... Who’s that?
Aptly Named, Timurlane, tkdwn, Rash
Relic, Jusachyl, my hometown, Def-Chap
Never forget the friendships had and the feuds passed
And don’t let it dead the present making a new past
Finally, don’t add on a cool mask
Trust me, you can’t have what DOOM has
And if you subtract the pen, pad
Brain, fam, or life actually had, you’ll find that you’ll ask and…
If you ask what we do
"It's new math"
Here's what we'll tell you:
"You want to know how to rhyme? You better learn how to add" (x2)
You wanna know how to rhyme, you better learn how to add
Count the sum on your hand of my words in this pad
Perfectly clad verbal for the rap nerd of your pack
Over this bad Theory Hazit packed dirt of a track
Serving a sad market burning for the purchase to match
The total attached value of the verbs in your raps
Creative package complementing personal passion
Kick snare sampling hi-hats and scratches
Boom bapping… add in a flow you could move with
The smoothest delivery encourage the movement
Too sick for the competition out there to fool with
Get the cool kids too lit to know what to do with...
If you ask what we do
"It's new math"
Here's what we'll tell you:
"You want to know how to rhyme? You better learn how to add" (x2)
I’m tryna make the middle clash like Tae & Wes;
Weigh and check both ends, take the best and make it mesh
For the inevitable questions: take a rest
This is me rapping just for the sake of staying fresh!
That’s the final part of the new math if you take the test
You be the best, stay abreast of your intent, and have integrity...
I know the dudes that mess with me
And preferably they’re next to me, or less from me
Than a green text is
Or an iMessage sent then received the read receipt
Readily squashing beef and teaching me life lessons
All of this makes for an artist you like pressing play with
Add every bar from the first verse to now and take it
56 years, look back at greatness
And if you were counting on your hands from the 28th bar
Every word that I spit from that point on, this far
You would’ve gone through both hands just about 30 times each
And your day is complete
You can mark this down on your time sheet
I’m going to sleep, I’m beat…
Boom
Specialize in science and math and...
If you don't know math by now I doubt you'll ever know
