Lyrical Mathematician
CommonCore Standards
I get it
Paper and Pen
I’m writing these problems down And your dissing
Please kid
You don’t want this knowledge that I’m getting
Making my teacher proud
And getting A’s I’m on a mission
So listen
Let me break it down so you can get it
Disrupting my learning is showing you’re not committed
Mathematic equation and language
I’m all in it
Mastering every topic and subject and definition
So you see
I’m rapping with math
While in school
#1 With Lyrical Math Is so cool

Stop, Freeze, Pause, Set It Off
You know me, I’m at the top of my class
I’m so nice and precise with my math

Please Don't Doubt Me

Please Don’t
Please Don’t
Please Don’t
Please don't doubt me cause I know what's happening
Please don’t doubt me cause I know what’s happening,
Turn my mixed numbers into improper fractions,
Multiply my whole number to the denominator,
Then I take that and add it to my numerator,
Cross divide diagonal numbers by their GCF
Replace them with the quotient then I do the rest
Multiply my
numerators
Then I multiply my
denominators
I take that answer
then I simplify it
Did it so fast that I don’t know where the time went
Last step check that my answer is accurate
Call this light work
When I’m multiplying fractions
Please Don’t
Please Don’t
Please Don’t
Please Don’t Doubt Me Cause I Know What’s Happening

Keep, Change...Flip Keep, Change...Flip Keep, Change...Flip Uh,Uh,Uh,Uh
Keep, Change...Flip Keep, Change...Flip Keep, Change...Flip Okay
New Objective the goal is dividing fractions
Take this lesson and put these methods to action
First step if you see a mixed number fraction
Take the necessary steps and change them to improper fractions
Then you keep the first fraction the same (x3)
Change that division sign to a times sign (x3)
Flip the last fraction (x6) Multiply like you know you should...ok (x3)
Keep, Change...Flip Keep, Change...Flip Keep, Change...Flip Uh,Uh,Uh,Uh
Keep, Change...Flip Keep, Change...Flip Keep, Change...Flip Okay

Smart been the new cool catch these lames up Always striving for the top to get that A plus
Tell these slackers cover up and watch out for my dust cause I’m in the lead

and never slowing up
I’m on that fast track,
work hard then relax track, Never slacking
when I take a class
you know I pass that,
See these cats
running for the cheese that’s in the trap whack Never on their grind
just wasting time
that’s why they set back Like it’s cool works for them I’m bout my school-work Stay away
unless you got a plan
to do work
I got some hot sixteens plus my team strapped
with a bunch of math facts Tell me where that math at

I’m into my math.
Nah, I ain’t into ya
Straight pro at adding these integers
Stay sharp,
feel sorry for these dummies
Ain’t a crook in the world gonna take my money
If the signs are the same,
keep it
add that
If they’re different,
take the bigger one subtract that (x3)

Let’s get to the center, I’m
with it
Mean, Median and Mode, Let’s get it
Mean, Median, Mode (x3) Let’s go
Let’s get to the center, I’m
with it
Mean, Median and Mode, Let’s get it
Mean, Median, Mode (x3) Let’s go
If I’m looking for the mean I add my numbers up,
Divide that by the total num- bers in my data
For the median, I’m a line my numbers up,
From least to greatest find the middle of my data
For the mode, I look at my data close
And find the number in the data that I see the most
Either through the mean or median or mode I’m Getting to the center of the data let’s go

They told me I couldn’t do it
put the word out I did it,
Saw me as a falling star
just a meteor slipping
They was never on my level see I’m forever sitting
amongst the stars
cause even through the dark you see me I’m lit
a lyrical mathematician
if you sleeping you’ll miss me of course
Pass em the memo
I’m taking and acing the course
I been at it, this victory lap is the aftermath
of what happens
when I’m rapping these lyrics and I master math
Tell em scat if they still hating
I’ll subtract them fast
or divide the drama quickly
multiply my laughs
Never finished
just getting started I'm on to,
The next level with Lyrical Math part 2
