eh... the children, they know all the words to the new song, but they cannot solve for x. we need a new rhythm. we need a new lesson. this is a letter to the big men...
reggie rockstone, sarkodie, shatta wale, we dey write you this letter
stonebwoy, okyeame kwame, the youth dey suffer, but we know you can do better
the street dey follow you, the airwaves be your classroom
so pick up the maths book and let the lesson resume
teach them to calculate, not just to celebrate
build a ghana of thinkers, before it be too late.
yo, reggie rockstone, the originator, grandpapa we hail you!
them say "knowledge be power," this one new info we go mail you
you took the hiplife, gave it wings, made us all feel brand new
now we need you for another thing, a mission overdue
they dey rap about the cash, the girls, the lavish life we see
but the youth we need to build this nation, dem no get degree
we need a track about quadratics, something for the mind
use your voice to make the learning sweet, the logical kind
make the boys on the corner, with the bluetooth speaker loud
start rapping "sine, cosine, tangent," and make their mamas proud!
you be the pioneer, so blaze the trail again
spit a bar about f=ma, let the knowledge reign!

sarkodie, the landlord, the king of the lyrical drill
we need your energy on a track to build the youth's will
imagine you come hard, talking about photosynthesis with grace
"the leaves them catch the light, make the food, set the pace
chlorophyll, the green machine, from sunlight to the glucose
without am, no life for earth, that one all of us suppose know!"
make the students dey memorize your bars for their note
so when the exam paper come, dem go fit quote-by-quote
use the precision for your rap, to make the formulas stick
make learning mathematics be your newest, hardest hit!
shatta wale, the king of the dancehall, the movement we dey follow
make the youth understand the power, no be only "take" and "swallow"
shatty, come in hard on a topic like electricity!
make the current flow for their brain, for the whole country to see!
"dem say watt? voltage! current! resistance in the wire!
we need light for ghana, make we build am, build am higher!
volts dey push am, amps dey flow, resistance be the block
get the calculation right, you fit make the whole place rock!"
the streets dey move when shatty move, the students go dey bounce
learning science for the club? na that one we announce!
stonebwoy, the
