Hell Razah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Live my life
Live my life
Live my life
Five brothers they were layin in the lobby
And one had a shotty
Greed made em thirsty for money
I need a knot shit is gettin hot
The others said "What could we do?
It's on you"
He stared em down as he passed 'em the brew
"Hmm maybe you see my view
Follow me upstairs on the eighth floor
And I will show you the door"
"The eighth floor, how is that?"
"That's where my cousin, is slingin crack
Be grand whatcha y'all niggaz is, puss?
Y'all seem shook, to have niggaz ambushed"
One other kid said, "You sound like a savage
Couple of years ago you spoke mathematics
I peeped your ways now you carry automatics
And try to give niggaz traffic"
Peace
He stepped on the elevator
"I see y'all crab niggaz later"
"Call your cousin, and warm him of the setup
Before the brother gets wet up"
He ran to the pay phone
Hopin that nobody stayed home
He tried to dial, the niggaz started bustin
On the corner while them other niggaz hustlin
He jetted back to his projects
He heard the sound of a tec
He heard the sound of a tec!
("Oh shit!")
He heard the sound of a tec!
He heard the sound of a tec!
He heard the sound of a tec!
He heard the sound of a tec!
He heard the sound of a tec!

In the beginning, we lived as we could
Friendless wanderers that we were, we cheated and stole
In order to live
We knew heat hunger and cold
And slept under the stars
Then, as time softened my sorrow
I began to put to use the skills I had learned in the school of life
And in my father's house
The song "Science Project" by Hell Razah tells a story of five brothers who were involved in a robbery that went wrong, and it ultimately resulted in one of them being killed. The story is narrated from the perspective of one of the surviving brothers who was not directly involved in the crime. The brother who brought the shotgun had initially suggested robbing a store, but they ended up robbing a drug dealer. He led the group upstairs to his cousin's apartment, where they found him selling drugs on the eighth floor. One of the brothers who was skeptical of the plan implied that the mastermind had changed, having gone from speaking math to carrying an automatic weapon. The plan backfires, and they get caught in a shootout, causing one of the brothers to be killed while the others flee in different directions.
The song highlights the dangers of greed and desperation and the consequences that come with being involved in illegal activities. The screeching sound interspersed in the song creates an atmosphere of chaos and danger and, coupled with the well-written lyrics, makes it a captivating and thought-provoking tale.
