(maths)

Man was doing structural analysis at half two in the morning
Same night I'm doing bars in a booth my mate built out of duvets
Two lives, one brain, and the brain's fucking tired, bruv
Everybody's got advice and none of them have got the numbers

They say I dropped out. Nah.
I ran the model and the model said go
And I've got fifteen tabs that prove it, man's not reckless

Maths don't lie, maths don't lie
Everybody's got a feeling, I've got a fucking spreadsheet
Maths don't lie, maths don't lie
And the model said go, so I went, so shut up

Mum tells people I work in music before they ask now
Two years I modelled that sentence. Two years. She just says it.

Maths don't lie, maths don't lie
Everybody's got a feeling, I've got a fucking spreadsheet
Maths don't lie, maths don't lie
And the model said go, so I went, so shut up

(tab twelve)
