Bodega MathE

(count it) (twice)

Two for five! (five!) Three for seven! (seven!)

Fifty cent apiece when I bought 'em at eleven

Two for five! (five!) Do the math! (math!)

If you can't do it in your head, you can't do it with cash

Bodega math! (math!) Count it twice! (twice!)

I ain't get rich quick. I got rich precise.

Case is twenty-four, I paid twelve, that's a half apiece

Sell 'em two for five, that's two-fifty, that's a feast

Minus ice, minus bag, minus one your cousin drank

Still two dollars clean off fifty cent. Put that in the bank.

Now do it forty times a day for a whole July

That's twenty-four hundred, and you ain't even had to lie (not once)

Now here's the part they don't put on the internet, lil' homie

The money ain't the profit. It's the pattern. Get to know me.

You gon' want the chain. I know. I wanted it. I waited.

Bought a second cooler. That cooler's why I made it.

Two for five! (five!) Three for seven! (seven!)

Fifty cent apiece when I bought 'em at eleven

Two for five! (five!) Do the math! (math!)

If you can't do it in your head, you can't do it with cash

Same math at the top, just the zeroes get polite

Buy it by the pallet, sell it by the unit, every night

Shrink is what walks out the door when you ain't lookin'

Mine is under one percent. Ask the manager who's cookin'. (ask him)

Rent should be a tenth of what the register bring

If it's more than that, you work for the landlord. Different thing.

I got four kids from the block on the summer program now

Saturday I teach 'em this. The whole thing. Here's how:

First check, I take 'em to the bank. They hate it. They all do.

Second check they ask what compound mean. Then I know they through.

What's the cost? (fifty cent)

What's the price? (two-fifty)

What's the difference? (THAT'S OURS!)

Two for five! (five!) Three for seven! (seven!)

Fifty cent apiece when I bought 'em at eleven

Two for five! (five!) Do the math! (math!)

If you can't do it in your head, you can't do it with cash

Bodega math! (math!) Count it twice! (twice!)

Class dismissed. Same time Saturday. Bring a friend. Be precise.
