Oh! Baby
Hell Razah and 4th Disciple Lyrics

Baby...
Introducing the song to the listeners

One-two
Counting in the beat

Everybody on the right hand side
Addressing the people on the right hand side of the party

I want to see why'all niggaz get live in the party tonight
Expressing the desire to see people having a good time at the party

All my niggaz on the left hand side, I know your high or
Addressing the people on the left hand side, acknowledging that they might be under the influence

I know you came to the club, to not die
Assuming that the people on the left hand side came to the club to enjoy themselves and not get hurt

All my niggaz in the center, I came to enter
Addressing the people in the center and expressing the intention to make an impact on their minds

In the, middle of your brain cell, it's me, Hell Razah
Claiming that the artist's words will penetrate the listener's mind deeply

Article one, hit the streets nigga
Referring to the first amendment of the US constitution that guarantees freedom of speech and encouraging the artist to exercise it

4th Disciple, and we got the rifle
Introducing the producer and asserting their power

I pull in wolves like Adolf Hitler, for my two brothers
Comparing the artist's influence to that of a dictator and expressing loyalty to his siblings

And two sisters, I tattoo scriptures
Mentioning his siblings again and implying that his art is like a religious text

Love my seed, like I love the Lord
Saying that he loves his children as much as he loves God

I was thirteen, when I first record, now I'm back with a heavier sword
Recalling the artist's early career and claiming that he's come back with more skill and power

It's either rap, crack, or basketball
Listing the limited options for success in the artist's environment

Young kings want to gun sling, and snatch earrings
Referring to the dangerous activities that young men might be drawn to in their environment

Eighty seven, it was microphone fiend, and crack king
Referencing the hip-hop song 'Microphone Fiend' by Eric B. & Rakim and acknowledging the impact of drugs in his community

We used to battle on the lunch room table, before labels
Recalling the artist's early days of battling other rappers in school before becoming a professional artist

Now they pay us, so the radio play you
Acknowledging the commercialization of hip-hop and the importance of getting airplay to be successful

You'se a lame nigga, and you know, we know the truth
Insulting another artist who is not authentic and exposing their dishonesty

And we back, and we back in the booth, first recoup
Returning to the recording booth after a break and recovering the cost of production

Then recruit, now salute, we on the loose, ain't ready to shoot
Referring to building a team and asserting their power, but not yet being violent

Blueberry in our Timberland boot, I'm livin' proof
Claiming to be a real example of survival and having luxury in a tough environment

Tell your A&R we burnin' his coupes
Threatening the artist and repertoire (A&R) representative who is responsible for finding new talent and asserting dominance

My lifestyle is danger, Hell Razah, let the name linger
Defending his dangerous lifestyle and asserting the power of his name

Touch my throat, and I cut off ten fingers
Threatening violence against anyone who tries to harm him

The street's I'm from, son, everybody's steamers
Referring to the prevalence of drug use in his environment

Smokers and heavy drinkers, slingers and chain swingers
Listing the dangerous activities that people might engage in on the streets

I'm one of those, Red Hook cats, set up a track
Identifying with the culture of his neighborhood and setting up a music track

Bring your soul to another world, you'll never come back
Claiming that his music will transport the listener to another dimension

It be that government that made us like that, gave me a gat
Blaming the government for creating a violent environment and providing him with a gun

I be excuses every ghetto inside, is fallen at
Explaining that he has no excuses for his behavior because he is a product of his environment

Got the chick high off of contact, keep the windows up
Implying that he is smoking marijuana and wanting to keep the smoke inside the car

Whoever rollin' with me in here, throw your singles up
Encouraging his entourage to throw money in the air to show off their wealth

It's loyalty over money, bitches, and keys
Stating that loyalty is more important than money, women, and drugs

Backstab me, snatch his arms out the both of his sleeves
Warning that anyone who betrays him will suffer violent consequences

Chain and command, explained from a brain of a man
Describing the power structure of his crew and implying that he has a strategic mind

We go to war, like the Arabs'll do, from Pakistan
Comparing his crew to a foreign military force that is always ready for battle

Matter fact, like the Sun of Man would, from Bethlehem
Elevating his crew to a holy status and referencing the birthplace of Jesus Christ

Drop a jewel that the children out in school, can understand
Saying that he wants to provide wisdom and knowledge that is accessible to young people

All my brothers on the right hand side
Addressing the men on the right hand side of the party

I want to make sure why'all leave out this party alive
Expressing the desire for everyone to have a good time but not get hurt

And all my ladies on the left hand side, that got a drop and
Addressing the women on the left hand side who are driving a convertible

Hold it down, cause we don't got nine lives
Asking the women to be careful and not take unnecessary risks because life is precious

All my people in the center, I came to enter
Addressing the people in the center and asserting his presence

In the middle of your brain cell, it's me, Hell Razah
Claiming to have an impact on the listener's mind and asserting himself as the center of attention

Article one, hit the streets nigga
Encouraging the artist to assert their freedom of speech and share their message

4th Disciple, and we got them rifles
Introducing the producer again and asserting their possession of weapons
