*REFRAIN*
This song is MASSIVE – talking pounds and ounces and the math class bounces
MASSIVE –talking kilograms and your brain goes blam!
MASSIVE – talking pounds and ounces and the math class bounces
MASSIVE –talking kilograms and your brain goes blam!


Let’s talk about the metric – it’s electric, those grams
One’s a gram but (what?) get a thousand of ‘em and you got yourself a kilogram

One tenth is a decigram – send yourself a telegram – “deci” means .1 grams
Go back to the hundredth (centigram!) .01 yo that’s a centrigram

How about a thousandth - .001 – that’s a milligram (chang chang!)
Yo, that’s the metric – yeah, you respect it – the prefixes ain’t no thang

*Refrain*

Now the customary system, in case you missed ‘em, is the system in the USA
Talking ounces, pounds, even tons dropping down on your brain – so listen what I say:
There are 16 ounces in a pound, class
There are 2,000 pounds in a ton
I’m rap-rap-rapping, rap-a-dap-dapping
I’ll be rapping ‘til my job is done

*Refrain*

How to get from one to the other? It’s all about conversion, brother
28 grams in an ounce (it’s uh… 28.35… to be exact)
.454 kilograms in a pound, so listen to the beat drop down…

*Refrain*
