Mos Def, “Mathematics”

!

“It’s a numbers game, but sh!t don’t add up somehow. Like I got 16 to 32 bars to rock it, but only 15% of profits ever see my pockets. Like 69 billion, in the last 20 years, spent on national defense, but folks still live in fear.”

This is what I call well crafted. The entire song is thematically tight, well delivered, and gives you something to ponder.

“You want to know how to rhyme, you better learn how to add. It’s mathematics.”
