The Conic Rap
by Annarosy Ortega and Josh Seals [Added February 15th, 2002]

X squared over A squared
Minus Y squared over B squared
Set this equal to one and this is no force to be reckoned with
Even if you're a perfectionist ain't no correcting this
So first thing to remember
Graph the center
It's the only numerical figure in the numerator
So don't lose your temper
Now that you're on a winning streak there's no need to gamble
Or turn your life to shambles
Draw the correct rectangle
And receive your asymptotes' angles
Now to do this square the four numbers on the bottom
Then you got 'em
Now like north, south, east, and west
Drop 'em and plot 'em
Mathematicians who skip this are forgotten
They decompose become old and rotten
Next one to go is Osama Bin Laden

Yo math is the reason
The world could keep believing
Some cats say we're dying
But naw they're just deceiving
Cause math keeps on progressing and that's what I'm receiving

Now let's see what's in my back pocket
It's this mathematical topic
Which ranges from things microscopic
To space flight creating specs for a rocket
That's right math has a part in space exploration
Take into consideration
Without mathematicians calculations
We couldn't fill the world with high anticipation
The world wouldn't function
What would we do without mass production?
Without Televisions
And machines with mad precision
Your cars global position system
Will not be with
Without numbers
They'll be no paper to write
The very computer I write in
The car you ride is all thanks to numbers
Form our sewage that lies under
To beautiful stars of which we no longer wonder

Yo math is the reason
The world could keep believing
Some cats say we're dying
But naw they're just deceiving
Cause math keeps on progressing and that's what I'm receiving
