Thanks for that feedback!
Yep, using story-like approach would have given more meaning to the song, but one of the original motivations for this was to put enough references to math concepts in the lyrics, in a way that would encourage the curious listener to dig them up, and perhaps start to either relate with or love math.
This song is part of a bigger attempt at using the creative arts to expose our African youth to STEM disciplines, and to make the science and math more appealing to a population that's really greatly lagging behind compared to the rest of the world.
It's a song introducing important concepts of Information Security to listeners, via a story of an African hacker that's in battle with an NSA crew. It's more story-like.
Yes, I'd love to write more music like this, and so will get in touch to get ideas and feedback on how to get even better.

You might find this other similar project even more interesting: http://genius.com/Nemesis-fixx-the-3lite-hackx0rs-lyrics
