In mathematics, the absolute value (or modulus) | a | of a real number a is the numerical value of a without regard to its sign. So, for example, the absolute value of 3 is 3, and the absolute value of –3 is also 3. The absolute value of a number may be thought of as its distance from zero.
Generalizations of the absolute value for real numbers occur in a wide variety of mathematical settings. For example an absolute value is also defined for the complex numbers, the quaternions, ordered rings, fields and vector spaces. The absolute value is closely related to the notions of magnitude, distance, and norm in various mathematical and physical contexts.
Jean-Robert Argand introduced the term "module" 'unit of measure' in French in 1806 specifically for the complex absolute value and it was borrowed into English in 1866 as the Latin equivalent "modulus". The term "absolute value" has been used in this sense since at least 1806 in French and 1857 in English. The notation | a | was introduced by Karl Weierstrass in 1841. Other names for absolute value include "the numerical value" and "the magnitude".
[Verse 1: Akrobatik]
I'm a hit with you a right, left, right, left, you're toothless
Akrobatik's ruthless, longevity proves this, Boston, Massachusetts
Representative, that was sent to give
All you sensitive, rap critics (uh) or eat a fat di-dick (what?)
And a side of sack with it
Cause your playlist need more Ak in it
Fat beats and lyrics, A to the K's packin it
Passionate, that's how I stay accurate
Mastered this, flow that be enticin many bachelorettes
Got the brothers wildin in the crowd like they had Tourette's
Mad cassettes contain my freestyles from back in '95 (woo)
Check the archives, I bet you find me live (uh, uh)
From way back, dope since "Real Da Real" and "Adat"
Born the same day as that cat that wrote "The Big Payback"
So all my nigs lay back and just bang this (uh), wrath of my anguish
So nice that I should own the fuckin language
Rap is goin through some whack changes, yo
[Chorus: Akrobatik]
But I don't know what all of that's about
And all of that's about to change once Ak come out
And yo, them whack CD's you passin out
They 'bout to be worth jack once Ak come out
Yeah, nobody got shit to rap about
But all of that's about to change once Ak come out
Yo, and I know what y'all are askin 'bout
Where's that "Absolute Value" from Ak? (Ak, hey, yo)
[Verse 2: Akrobatik]
I'm 'bout to blow up the scene (uh) [sound of an explosion]
With shit sick enough to make you throw up your greens (greens)
Call Ak the "Big Dig, " he tore up The Bean (Bean)
With that downtown Boogie Brown, "you know what I mean? " (uh)
Fuck your dreams, I'm takin out the supreme member of this new rap dream team (team)
That heat it up like kerosene ('sene), skills previously never seen (seen)
Lungs evergreen (green), eight year career still buildin hella steam (haha)
This the groove that made Stella dream (dream)
Decapitatin the whack like helicopter propellers, SEEN (seen)
But not heard, it's not my style, fuck a image
I'd rather have a dope LP from start to finish (true dat)
And many MC's ain't reachin for their darker limits (uh)
Got the accessories but all the other parts diminished
And some of them still be pushin up monster digits (right)
Lowest common deminator, cats want that shit-it (AH)
But yo
[Chorus: Akrobatik]
I don't know what all of that's about
But all of that's about to change once Ak come out
Yo, them whack CD's you passin out
They 'bout to be worth jack once Ak come out
Yeah, nobody got shit to rap about
But all of that's about to change once Ak come out
Yeah (uh), I know what y'all are askin 'bout
Where's that brand new hot shit from Ak? (yeah)
[Outro: Akrobatik - talking]
(Uh), let it bump, yeah
