[Intro]
English is so insipid, so please give me a ticket
To save (a seat) for the A.(M.C.)
That test is really wicked! Here we go…
It's Tricky to rock some math, to solve for x and draw a graph
It's Tricky… it's Tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Tricky)
It's Tricky to rock some math, to stay on task and pass this class
It's Tricky… Tr-tr-tr-tricky (Tricky) Trrrrrrrrrrricky

[Verse 1]
I tried some contest problems, my teacher said “Just solve them,”
I closed my text and solved for x, but man it hurt my noggin
So on the side I’m workin’, I know the answer’s lurkin’
Those other chumps, when they are stumped, they’ll look and see me smirkin’
It's Tricky to rock some math, to solve for x and draw a graph
It's Tricky… (How is it P?) It's Tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Trrrrrricky)
It's Tricky to rock some math, to stay on task and pass this class
It's Tricky… Tricky (Tricky) Tricky

[Verse 2]
Here at Lusher we all suffer, kids just sing and dance
Mathematics is the baddest, y’all should give it a chance
Math competition has me wishin’ that I had the answer
With solutions more elusive than the cure for cancer
It's Tricky to rock some math, to solve for x and draw a graph
It's Tricky… (How is it P?) Tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Tricky)
It's Tricky to rock some math, to stay on task and pass this class
It's Tricky… Tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Tricky) huh!

[Interlude]
Yo J, you take that practice A.M.C.?
Fo’ sho’ Curly P
Man, I went beast mode on number five
Awww yeah, and I took number six back to my house and I solved that thang
Word up, J!

[Verse 3]
If workin’ math incurs your wrath and makes your poor head throb
Don’t be hateful, you’ll be grateful when you look for a job
If workin’ math’s your favorite task and leaves you wantin’ more
Let your dream be the A.M.C. when through Depp’s class you snore
This boy named Stevie thinks he’ll beat me cuz last year he won
I solve quadratics like an addict cuz they’re so much fun
Won’t admit it, pretend I’ll quit it cuz I’m just too hot
But I ain’t runnin’ cuz I’m gunnin’ for that number one spot
It's Tricky to rock some math, to solve for x and draw a graph
It's Tricky… (How is it?) Tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Tricky)
(Oh White, this rhyme scheme is so Byzantine. Don’t be that guy)
It's Tricky… Tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-tricky (Tr-tr-tr-tricky) Tr-tr-tr…

[Verse 4]
So save your scorn (that’s how we’re born) and now math flows (through our veins)
See you later (calculator), we can solve with our brains
We like math y’all (y’all), our minds are quick
And now that (is) how we score with chicks
