Lyrics for Black Math

Oh, don't you think that I'm bound to react now Well, my fingers definitely turning to black now Yeah, maybe I'll put my love on ice and teach myself Maybe that'll be nice, yeah My books are sitting at the top of the stack now Well, the longer words are really breaking my back now Yeah, maybe I'll learn to understand Drawing a square with a pencil in hand, yeah Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-h, ah-ah Mathematically turning the page Unequivocally showing my age I'm practically center stage Undeniably earning your wage Well, maybe I'll put my love on ice Teach myself, maybe that'll be nice, yeah Listen master, can you answer a question? Is it the fingers or the brain that you're teaching the lesson? Oh, I can't tell you how proud I am Writing down things I don't understand Well, maybe I'll put my love on ice And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice, yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
