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
