All kidding aside, even with rapgenius... what the fukk was Foxy Brown talking about on

[Existential]

Affirmative Action?

We got to flee to Panama but wait it's half-and-half
Keys is one and two-fifth, so how we flip
Thirty-two grams raw, chop it in half
Get sixteen, double it times three
We got forty-eight, which mean a whole lot of cream
Divide the profit by four, subtract it by eight
We back to sixteen now add the other two that Mega bringing through
So let's see, if we flip this other key
Then that's more for me, mad coke and mad leak
Plus a five hundred cut in half is two-fifty
Now triple that times three
We got three quarters of another ki
The Firm baby, volume one

Rap Genius take:
http://genius.com/Nas-affirmative-action-lyrics/

She begins with 1,400 grams of cocaine

32 ÷ 2 = 16
16 + 16 = 32
32 x 3 = 96
96 ÷ 4 = 24
24 — 8 = 16

• She says 48 because Cormega (or Mega) is selling it too so she says “double it times three we got forty-eight” because 96 divided by two (Foxy and Mega) is 48.

It was noted in the (huge at the time) 100th issue of The Source Magazine that Foxy’s math didn’t add up.

Worst explanation I have ever seen. Also, LOL at these clowns writing "(huge at the time)" for Source Magazine.
