[Verse 1]
In our radius, people hating us
Tryna subtract from the love that we are creating, it’s
Just a shame, we get hit from every angle with all these webs, I’m on the web, tryna untangle it
They say you play the fence on the triangle tip
And the block think you slick so they all wanna paint you with
That same dirty brush, hurt because they know what you’re worthy of
They want that Hershey love too
But I make them no factor
Get love’s my protractor
So after their talking is through, baby, you do the math
[Chorus]
Baby, you do the math
Baby, you do the math
Baby, you do the math
One plus one equals two
You plus me equals we
Why can’t we strive to just be?
While we argue, we fight, it gets harder each night
We divided by the talk on the streets
Baby, you do the math
[Verse 2]
What’s the right angle to say I can’t do all this cussing every night? Feeling like I hate you
Feeling like I ain’t true ‘cause of some lie they spew
Talkin’ ‘bout rendezvouses
See the wrong side they choose?
That’s hypotenuse
I’m more of a conscious dude
I would never lie to you
They mad ‘cause I’m a cute brother, soul lover
You found a true lover who smothers you under them covers with cuddling
You hug him, you want him, becoming your husband
I wasn’t outside that circumference so just do the math
[Chorus]
Baby, you do the math
Baby, you do the math
Baby, you do the math
One plus one equals two
You plus me equals we
Why can’t we strive to just be?
While we argue, we fight, it gets harder each night
We divided by the talk on the streets
Baby, you do the math
[Verse 3]
It’s not calculus, no, it ain’t algebra
You don’t wanna talk, you just wanna run and hide like algebra
Love is countered with action
Compounded with passion
Subtracted by those that wanna damage, it’s
Really hard to multiply
Listening to all them lies
Whispering and talking, why?
Hoping to cause divide
One plus one equals two
You plus me equals we
Why can’t we strive to just be?
You were lonely when you were single
Get a mate, now they wanna meet you
‘cause the grass in they backyard ain’t that green, sheez
[Chorus]
Baby, you do the math
Baby, you do the math
Baby, you do the math
Baby, you do the math
One plus one equals two
You plus me equals we
Why can’t we strive to just be?
While we argue, we fight, it gets harder each night
We divided by the talk on the streets
Baby, you do the math
