Lyrics
Yea, once you get to a certain energy level, everyone's a stranger.
Everything's a danger.
I bond like a halogen, aggressive for my 8th electron,
I don't sing songs on demand but you could pay me, that's a maybe.
Just like Chlorine diatomic I bond to myself when there's nothing honest around me,
Profoundly, spitting chemistry flows to the death of me,
It went right over your head last time but this time I aim it at your skull,
I reject the null,
Yea I know it's real in my instinct how I feel,
I'm illmatic, time to skillfully handle the static,
With the fabric of space time I bend it like heavy gravity,
Grammatically, you a hater if you mad at me,
But you don't even understand me, brotha,
Enter the Dragon King to flame razor your ice tasers,
Yea I fucked the game, nothing was the same tho,
All the brothas thinking they slick running tricks it's just lame tho,
I came, I saw, I conquered,
Veni Vidi Vici like a Latin teacher.
I'm in feature for $1000 or more at my store,
I keep it locked down so there's not much you can do when you hear the sound.
I'm flowing like electrons through a metallic bond,
That's why I'm rather fond of science,
It's an alliance.
Hydrolysis shatters your mind with water
While I break things apart to rearrange them and change them for the better
With hydrodynamic effort,
The rhymes is so clever
And you'll never comprehend it so it's time to end it
Commentary & Analysis
The halogen and chlorine idea is genuinely one of the strongest science-art moments here. Rohan uses chemistry to describe loneliness and self-protection: wanting the eighth electron, bonding to himself when the room feels dishonest. That is not just a reference; it is emotional chemistry.
"I reject the null" is a great bar because it turns statistics into self-belief. He is saying the feeling is not random. The instinct has signal. For a project called The Scientific Artist, that is exactly the kind of line that makes the title feel earned.
The space-time and gravity line is messy in an interesting way: he is trying to make language feel physical. "Grammatically" after gravity makes the verse fold science back into sentence-making, which is the whole project in miniature.
The title lands because hydrolysis is about breaking bonds with water, and the verse keeps talking about breaking things apart to rearrange them. That is the deeper move: destruction is not the end; it becomes redesign.
