Lyrics
Drop
(count it) (twice)
Hook
Two for five! (five!) Three for seven! (seven!)
Fifty cent apiece when I bought 'em at eleven
Two for five! (five!) Do the math! (math!)
If you can't do it in your head, you can't do it with cash
Bodega math! (math!) Count it twice! (twice!)
I ain't get rich quick. I got rich precise.
Verse 1
Case is twenty-four, I paid twelve, that's a half apiece
Sell 'em two for five, that's two-fifty, that's a feast
Minus ice, minus bag, minus one your cousin drank
Still two dollars clean off fifty cent. Put that in the bank.
Now do it forty times a day for a whole July
That's twenty-four hundred, and you ain't even had to lie (not once)
Now here's the part they don't put on the internet, lil' homie
The money ain't the profit. It's the pattern. Get to know me.
You gon' want the chain. I know. I wanted it. I waited.
Bought a second cooler. That cooler's why I made it.
Hook
Two for five! (five!) Three for seven! (seven!)
Fifty cent apiece when I bought 'em at eleven
Two for five! (five!) Do the math! (math!)
If you can't do it in your head, you can't do it with cash
Verse 2
Same math at the top, just the zeroes get polite
Buy it by the pallet, sell it by the unit, every night
Shrink is what walks out the door when you ain't lookin'
Mine is under one percent. Ask the manager who's cookin'. (ask him)
Rent should be a tenth of what the register bring
If it's more than that, you work for the landlord. Different thing.
I got four kids from the block on the summer program now
Saturday I teach 'em this. The whole thing. Here's how:
First check, I take 'em to the bank. They hate it. They all do.
Second check they ask what compound mean. Then I know they through.
Bridge
What's the cost? (fifty cent)
What's the price? (two-fifty)
What's the difference? (THAT'S OURS!)
Final Hook
Two for five! (five!) Three for seven! (seven!)
Fifty cent apiece when I bought 'em at eleven
Two for five! (five!) Do the math! (math!)
If you can't do it in your head, you can't do it with cash
Bodega math! (math!) Count it twice! (twice!)
Class dismissed. Same time Saturday. Bring a friend. Be precise.

Turned a corner store into a corporation. Raps about margins the way other rappers talk about their block. The thinking man's hustler. Every bar is a business plan disguised as a flex.
