Why... am I so bad at Math?

By: Pancho (Francisco Arriaga)

Why am I so bad at math? 

It can't be something on the inside,

Because I'm my daddy’s boy, and he, in himself, is a genius

and I came out his penis,

yet I don't have the same connection with numbers that he does. 

Jesus.

I'm lost.

In class and

I've lost my way for the last time

Trying to remember equations from a class in ninth

When significance then doesn't signify when to now absolute value,

Do I wait to the end?

I need discipline,

Need to radically fraction my actions in class in the back using black pens

Cause I never have led to fill the mechanics and if real wood is bad then

With ink this is happening. 

I'm always distracted.

Especially during math.

I hate numbers but they're all around me

Issa lifelong compilation like an addict with everything I do

Equations just get laced in.

I’m but a sample in the population,

Still I feel so much greater.

H0 says I’m the best, and H1,I’m ate by the gator. 

I’m a type one error, causeI'm the type two cheat and fail.

Academically at least, out here, mama, I prevail. 

Like my mom who knows how to get whatever she wants. She’s clever, I ain't ever catch her stuck at the bottom, never. Me? Thats a different topic, but my parents I just can’t top it. Their brains’ so big you put it on a sliver platter and you best not drop it.

But its so heavy from all of the knowledge they contract 

so Why am I so bad at math?

It’s gotta be on the outside. 

I  understand the idea. 

I use it everyday. 

I could subtract your right from wrong ,make it easier for me to hate you.

But you add so much adrenaline so lets multiply, let me mate you. 

With you I’d share my heart, I’d divide it into bigger portions.

Still there's not enough so I take love from those with value and create extortion.

See I get the point, for whatever reason i just cant solve it. .

Why am I so bad at math?

it’s supposed to be in my sangre.
