the denominator is inspired by andre 3000's verse on "skew it on the bar b" where he describes the frivolousness of being materialistic (even in our society)...here's what mr. 3K says:
The common denominator, the nigga numerator
Never know who the hater, niggas cater to your ego
I'm sorry like Atari whose the cousin to Coleco, Vision
Caught a Rico, back on the street like Chico, DeBarge
He large and got a 'Llac in the garage
Few parts here and there, I declare hard, my lawd
One at Clark, one at Spelman
Both know each other and it's cool, you can tell when
He step off in the party women jump for joy
But all the wild niggas schemin' they gon' jump the boy
For spittin' all that bourgeoise, my watch, my car
I'm a star, I'd rather be a comet by far
