(Verse 1)

Yo, check it, let’s break it down, medical terms, they goin’ all around,

-ac means “pertaining,” like cardiac, to the heart we bring,

-al, -ar, it’s all about that, from abdominal to ventricular, facts.

-eal is perineal, check that area, real.

-ic means related, optic for the eye,

-ose is for fatty, adipose tissue, oh my!

 

(Verse 2)

Now let's talk about pain, -algia in the frame,

Neuralgia got that nerve pain, it’s never the same.

-centesis is a puncture, like thoracentesis, the win.

-clasia breaks it down, like osteoclasia, bone splits in town.

-ectomy, removal's the game, appendectomy takes the blame!

 

(Chorus)

Suffixes and roots, they’re the key to the game,

From -emia to -uria, we break it down by name,

We got terms for conditions, from -osis to -itis,

When you learn this rap, you’ll be medically righteous!
