Intro
(Filtered synth, 808 rumble) Ayo, class is in session. High school, med school... listen up. Let's get it.
Verse 1
(Drums kick in, clinical flow) First the skull, let's get in your head Twenty-nine bones, don't leave 'em unread Eight Cranial, don't you sleep One Frontal, two Parietal on the side, deep Two Temporal where you hear the vibe One Occipital in the back, that's the tribe One Sphenoid and one Ethmoid, that's the stack (Whispered) That's eight. Now the face, fourteen, let's get it clear Two Nasal, two Maxillae (upper jaw) right here Two Zygomatic for your cheekbones' peak Two Palatine, two Lacrimal (don't you weep) Two Inferior nasal conchae (breathe the air) One Vomer, one Mandible (lower jaw) yeah! (Building) One Hyoid in the neck, floats alone Six Auditory ossicles, smallest bones Malleus, Incus, Stapes—three per ear That's the skull, now the vision is clear
Chorus
(Full energy, heavy 808) Two-oh-six, that's the whole collection Study this track, pass the whole bone section Axial, appendicular, no rejection This that med school, club connection!
Verse 2
(Confident, rhythmic delivery) Spine time, twenty-four move and flex Seven Cervical (C1 to 7) for your neck Atlas (C1), Axis (C2), hold your head up high Twelve Thoracic (T1 to 12) where the ribs apply Five Lumbar (L1 to 5) holdin' all the weight That's the column, now let's get it straight (Beat builds) Now the chest, twenty-five in the zone One Sternum (that's the breastbone) Manubrium (top), Body (middle part) Xiphoid process (tip of the heart) Twenty-four Ribs, twelve pairs, you see Seven True (1-7), attach directly Six False (8-10), indirect, you know Four Floating (11, 12), no attach, just flow!
Bridge
(Stripped down, synth pad, slow flow) Hold up, the bridge, let's lock the base Pelvic Girdle, four bones in the place Two Hip Bones (left and right, they fuse) (Ilium, Ischium, Pubis—that's the news) One Sacrum (five fused vertebrae) One Coccyx (tailbone), ends the melee
Verse 3
(Fast flow, triplet hi-hats) Upper limbs, sixty-four, let's go Two Clavicle (collarbone), showin' off your glow Two Scapula (shoulder blade) in the back That's the girdle, that's a fact (Building) Two Humerus (that's the upper arm) Two Radius (thumb side), two Ulna (pinky), kept from harm Now the hands, fifty-four, don't be late Sixteen Carpals (eight per wrist, wait!) Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, Hamate (that's the storm!) Ten Metacarpals (five per palm, connect the set) Twenty-eight Phalanges (fingers), don't you forget Ten Proximal, eight Middle (thumb got none) Ten Distal tips, that verse is done!
Chorus
(Full energy, heavy 808) Two-oh-six, a's the whole collection Study this track, pass the whole bone section Axial, appendicular, no rejection This that med school, club connection!
Verse 4
(Final verse, confident and clear) Lower limbs, bring the heat Two Femur (thigh bone), can't be beat (longest one) Two Patella (that's the kneecap, son) Two Tibia (shinbone, takes the load) Two Fibula (lateral, down the road) (Fast flow again) Now the feet, fifty-two, end the track Fourteen Tarsals (seven per foot, run it back) Calcaneus (heel), Talus, Navicular (yeah) Three Cuneiforms (Medial, Intermediate, Lateral-clear?) And one Cuboid, that's the Tarsal crew Ten Metatarsals (five per foot, you know it's true) Twenty-eight Phalanges (toes), same as the hand Ten Proximal, eight Middle (big toe's grand) Ten Distal tips, now you understand!
Bridge
(Building intensity, vocals layering) That's the list, two-oh-six, every name Run it back, play it loud, learn the game Axial, appendicular, know the frame Pass the test, light the club up like a flame
Chorus
(Full energy, heavy 808) Two-oh-six, that's the whole collection Study this track, pass the whole bone section Axial, appendicular, no rejection This that med school, club connection!
Chorus
(Fading slightly, ad-libs) Two-oh-six, that's the whole collection Study this track, pass the whole bone section Axial, appendicular, no rejection This that med school, club connection!
Outro
(Filtered, fading out) Two-oh-six. Class dismissed. (Whispered) Pass that test.
