Corner Mathematics

Intro

Yeah

Uh-huh

Yo let me tell it straight

Verse 1

Grew up on a corner where the payphone never rang

Mama worked doubles and my sneakers stayed damp

I learned every shortcut through the alleys and lots

Learned which doors open and which ones stay locked

Now I walk in the room and the whole place hushes

My word is the mortgage my promise the down payment

Chorus

I don't beg I just build

I don't fold I just grind

Tell my people hold tight

We gon eat every time

I don't beg I just build

I don't fold I just grind

Every scar on my arm is a receipt I signed

Post-Chorus

Hold up hold up

Yeah we run it

Hold up hold up

Yeah we run it

Verse 2

Uncle taught me chess before he taught me to drive

Said the quiet ones win while the loud ones arrive

So I sit in the back and I count every move

Watch the room like a hawk watch the season improve

Half these cats talk a fortune then borrow a dime

Me I stack what I earn and I keep it in line

Chorus

I don't beg I just build

I don't fold I just grind

Tell my people hold tight

We gon eat every time

I don't beg I just build

I don't fold I just grind

Every scar on my arm is a receipt I signed

Bridge

Family first

Family last

Family taught me how to hold

What the past couldn't pass

Chorus

I don't beg I just build

I don't fold I just grind

Tell my people hold tight

We gon eat every time

I don't beg I just build

I don't fold I just grind

Every scar on my arm is a receipt I signed

Post-Chorus

Hold up hold up

Yeah we run it

Hold up hold up

Yeah we run it
