Could it be we be buying dreams to disguise what we don't have? Could it be we worship things that ultimately can't last? Could it be we sabotage love 'cause it hurt us in the past? Could it be we can't clearly see what to subtract and what to add? You do the math, you do the math You do the math, you do the math You do the math, you do the math You do the math, and see what you get Could it be we flee responsibility All 'cause mom and dad made us sad? Hear me now Could it be we give up on justice (Oh) 'Cause the programmin' so dynamic? Somebody? Could it be we're suffering (Suffering) In low esteem (Low esteem) and no standards? (No standards, no standards) Could it be? Could it be? Could it be? Could it be that our ugliness (Our ugliness) Our ugliness is our favorite bad habit? You do the math, you do the math You do the math, you do the math You do the math, you do the math You do the math, you do the math You do the math, you do the math You do it You do the math, you do the math See what you get See what you get (You do the math, you do the math) See what you get You do the math, you do the math You do the math, you do the math Subtract the fake from the real See how you feel Multiply kindness and harmony See how you breathe If it makes things better for you, baby You do the math That's all I ask You do the math, you do the math
