1) Lazarus began in 20… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least seven bands named Lazarus.
1) Lazarus began in 2001 as Trevor Montgomery's post-Tarentel solo project, a pilgrimage of either insanity or freedom - or both. 'Songs For an Unborn Sun' was his first release, a minimal and soulful collaboration with longtime friend Marty Anderson (Okay, Dilute). His second release, 'Like Trees We Grow up to be Satellites (The Backwards America)', punched through the whispering darkness into an orchestral declaration of strength, political upheaval, and hope. Recorded by Scott Solter (Okkervil River, The Mountain Goats), it was a playful and rich approach at expressing both failures and fortunes of life. Lazarus has now grown into a small ensemble, featuring Sacramento natives Kathryn Sechrist and Kelly Nyland, exloring overwhelmingly beautiful depths with dense layers of drums, keyboards, acoustic and electric guitars, glockenspiel, and Trevor's shamanistic, gospel-inspired vocals. Lazarus has become a brilliant, soulful, psychedelic experience of experimental and political grace. At last, this pilgrimage has found a solid road to freedom.
2) Lazarus is also a Detroit rapper whose debut album 'Chapter One: The Prince Who Would Be King' was released in 2007. Lazarus speaks on what he sees in his life in the realest, most creative and passionate way that it can be delivered: through wordplay, vocabulary, and vast amounts of emotion. Lazarus comes off as versatile in his range of rap styles, the way he shifts from calm to hard to lyrical, and then from slow-paced to fast.
3) Lazarus is also a Kenosha, Wisconsin based thrash metal band. They have since changed their name to LaZarus A.D. to avoid confusion. In late 2007 they unleashed their debut album 'The Onslaught.' THRASH OR DIE!
4) Lazarus is a currently inactive Latvian hard rock/heavy metal band from Rīga, Latvia formed in year 2006.

Coming in this rap game starting static
I'm a blow when I hit Joe Blow with this automatic

It's an all out battle of the best
Watching niggas fall with a hole on your chest
Leaving ya'll niggas leaning to the heavly armed
With a Teflon plated vest
So when u come b ready we yo piece cocked
Aint ni\o mercy motherfucker I make the streets rock

Conflict of interest I blow like a cannon
Death before dishonor the words that I live by
U shell shocked with yo ass to the sky
Trama to the brain nigga you dont want none
Looking down te barrel of my gun nigga

The song "Cold World" by Lazarus talks about the harsh and brutal reality of the streets. The hook repeatedly warns that the world is a cold place and if you mess with it, you're in for trouble- you might even end up dead. The first verse starts with the rapper entering the rap game aggressively, trying to take down his competition with an automatic gun, and not caring about making enemies along the way. The lyrics here illustrate a competitive landscape where the rapper relies on his weapon to gain supremacy over others and stay safe from those who may threaten his position. The second verse is also aggressive and boasts about the rappers' prowess, indicating that he is the one everyone talks about but fears at the same time. He claims that he's not just a gangsta rapper but someone who can "hem yo ass up like the fucking mack," implying a clear sense of power and control. The third verse continues along with the same themes with the rapper displaying incredible confidence in his abilities to take on others in the industry, criticising "clowns" who just talk without taking any action. The overall tone of the song is one of dominance, power and control.
