I RAN THE NUMBERS

Studied engineering and dropped out one term short; raps about the maths of getting out

lyrics

Everybody tells it like I could not do the final term
Like the maths defeated me and music was the exit
And the maths is the reason. The maths is literally the reason.
I built the model and the model said do not finish

I ran the numbers, numbers, I ran the numbers, numbers
Nobody wants the version where the dropout did the sums
I ran the numbers, numbers, I ran the numbers, numbers
It is a worse story and it is the one that happened

Tab twelve was my mother. I gave her face a weighting.
And in June I asked her and she had been proud for two years.

I ran the numbers, numbers, I ran the numbers, numbers
Nobody wants the version where the dropout did the sums
I ran the numbers, numbers, I ran the numbers, numbers
It is a worse story and it is the one that happened
