Rise Over Run

Come in, take a seat
Shut up and let me teach
Spit out the gum, roll up your sleeves
Pay careful attention and listen to me
What I am about to say is key
You will use it for a lifetime, wait and see

Forget about equations or solving for x
Forget about cosine and whatever's next
Listen here, girls and boys, daughters and sons
The only thing that matters now is rise over run
Rise over run, Rise over run, Rise over run
The only thing that matters now is rise over run

No talking, no singing along
Whatever your answer is, it's wrong
Be quiet, kid, shut up
Don't you dare try and interrupt
What I am about to say is key
You will use it for a lifetime, wait and see

Forget about equations or solving for x
Forget about cosine and whatever's next
Listen here, girls and boys, daughters and sons
The only thing that matters now is rise over run
Rise over run, Rise over run, Rise over run
The only thing that matters now is rise over run

You see, child, this information is essential
Store it away in your mind, make it official
Tell your friends, grown-ups too
Tell everyone what to do

Tell them to forget about equations or solving for x
Tell them to forget about cosine and whatever's next
Say listen here, girls and boys, daughters and sons
The only thing that matters now is rise over run
Rise over run, Rise over run, Rise over run
The only thing that matters now is rise over run
