Concentration sixty-four no repeats or hesa
Did you know that people evolved from apes?
It’s something I learned while writing a long essay
Essays are actually alright when you’re eating grapes

Concentration sixty-four divided by eight equals eight
Midterms are coming, and the work is piling up
I’m trying not to bother my roommate this late
I drink the medication down with whatever is in my cup

Concentration sixty-four no repeats or hesitation
All of my words are coming together
I wrote my paper with no limitation
Compiling research isn’t my thing either

Concentration sixty-four no repeats or hesitation
I’ll go first, you’ll go second
Finishing my paper alleviates my tension
Now to bed, it beckoned

Concentration sixty-four
I don’t think I’ve ever finished that game before
