Hopsin ☆ Nocturnal Rainbows

[Intro:]

You think you original? You ain’t original. You were programmed to be you. You’re a slave and you don’t even know it. The shit you think of ain’t even your thoughts. Let’s step out the box for a minute

[Verse 1:]

How do we know if God exists?

How do we know what’s positive?

Are you the definition of an angel or the opposite?

If you lost your wallet and I found it, I would not commit

To stealing it, but if the tables turned then you would pocket it

See I been me for so long, but I still don’t know who Hopsin is

How come I’m the one my teachers used to have a problem with?

I show my music to different labels, they ain’t too fond of it

But in the underground I seem to get so many compliments

Say my name and it’s like people get afraid and shook

But if you take a look you’ll see I’m nothing like an angry crook

I’m learning hands-on, you busy with your face in books

I’m here to benefit the world so Heaven’s where we’re safely put

I’m not a devil, not speakin’ in tongues

I just wanna touch your heart, I try to reach it in songs

I’m from where a child’s future’s in the streets with the bums

Because it’s hard to become something so unique where I’m from

[Hook:]

When the sun’s down

Nocturnal rainbows soar in the air so high

It may seem so that I can’t see

But the darkness provides the light for me

I don’t wanna be lonely

And the moon is my only homie

If there’s a higher power then show me

Instead of nocturnal rainbows

[Verse 2:]

Obama’s president, so? What’s he represent?

Just because the nigga’s half black don’t mean he’s Heaven-sent

You’re clueless to evidence and all the minds he’s messin’ with

His charm and smile hasn’t got my ass up out this debt for shit

Frontin’ like he’s truly Jesus

And all you fools believe it

The change he’s making isn’t good, that’s just how you conceived it

It’s like we all broker than ever, it’s due to reasons

Dealing with self-beneficial plans and the movement he’s with

Illuminati, or whatever the fuck they go by

They’re the reason real shit happens, and we don’t know why

Why did Michael Jackson start his tour than have to go die?

How did rap music go from really good to so dry?

Real artists get shelved and wack one’s get famous

To leave masses brainless, a smart mind is dangerous

In their eyes there probably ain’t no real shit in your playlist

You’re just a product of what the government has created

[Hook]

[Verse 3:]

We’re all smart and we know what’s bad and good for us

But yet when you got offered some marijuana, you took a puff

Your brain’s a fucking powerhouse, but what? That wasn’t good enough?

It’s people like you who talk that “should’ve, could’ve, would’ve” stuff

You probably threw your life away cause you would rather get high

With no license or car, so you bum rides to get by

Saying “I should’ve did this” or “I shouldn’t have hung with this guy”

“I’m broke as fuck, my rent’s high. Ah, I should’ve realized”

I ain’t being cruel, these situations that I address

I more than likely could be someone you admire, yes

But it’s because the blood, sweat and all the time that I invest

We play the same game, difference is you never try your best

You don’t have a skill, you set yourself up for a higher mess

I work around the clock, you slack off a lot for time to rest

You bullshittin’ till your life is gone

Cause living’s naturally hell, you have to work to put a smile on
