Hopsin - Nocturnal Rainbows Lyrics






[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 on 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 weird 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' 'til your life is gone
Cause living's naturally hell, you have to work to put a smile on

[Hook]

  16. A.... ....

    Who's Still Bumping This In 2020?

    Bonus: the only reason he's not utterly famous and taking over the world is because the government knows he telling the truth about the industry and exposing them so they have to keep him low, if not then a lot of people would catch on and realize what he's saying is so true.

  53. L.... S....

    Hopsin is the best rapper period

  54. B.... M....

    The eyes are always so captivating. Not just the contact color but the shape.

  55. N.... W....

    Hopsin fell off but honestly his older music slapped idgaf what anybody says.

    N.... W....

    That's called evolving you can't expect Hop to keep the same style and rap about the same things. People evolve, especially true artist like him. or maybe you're one of the delusional people who thought otherwise.
    He didn't fell of, he's just different. If he did fell of he wouldn't still banging hits.

  56. N.... W....

    This sound like fl studio before fl studio was a good program. Not a bad song tho.

  57. w.... s....

    Fuck all the wack shit on the radio

  58. M.... S....

    Shit you think of ain’t even your thoughts 🤯 television = tells lies to your vision.

  59. T.... H....

    to everyone ,were gonna be here year after year , that's gonna be for shure!

  60. T.... T....

    December 2019 who here

  61. D.... ....

    this song is almost 10 years old! wow. Heres to the first song by hopsin I really fell in love with

  62. R.... F....

    i love this fucking beat

  63. M.... D....

    Hopsin deserved the shoutout from eminem last year than anyone else

  64. E.... V....

    Almost 2020 tho! Still blasting!

  65. L.... D....

    Old school

  66. J.... M....

    why isnt this broadcasted to everyone it speaks volumes and worlds when other rap songs barely convey 2 points.

  67. C.... A....

    I just like the way this feels like a smooth tequila, hits just right...

  68. C.... L....

    2020 from the future and shit and this still poppin

  69. R.... W....

    Why does he say there’s something wrong with having one’s nose 👃🏿 in a book 📖?

    R.... W....

    Maybe he means Facebook

    R.... W....

    Talking bout living ur life according to religion or other perspective/morals. Point is be ur own person, live ur life for u

    R.... W....

    I think he may also be talking about people who spend all their energy theorizing what they should do and how to do it, instead of actually doing stuff and learning along the way

  70. R.... W....

    This aged interestingly. Doesn’t make him seem like that likable of a person. Wonder what he’s up to now in November 2019? Did he grow as an artist since this?

    R.... W....

    Naw bro he fucking died in a car crash,https://www.liveabout.com/great-rappers-who-died-too-young-2857967

    R.... W....

    Bruh of course they would not like him, is like saying media vs some truth.

  71. D.... W....

    Producers in the my industry sure hate when rappers SHOW THE FUCKING TRUTH

  72. P.... B....

    Realist mf there is .

  73. M.... G....

    Is anyone else hearing "If the script was flipped" instead of "tables turned" there in the beginning when he mentions taking a wallet?

  74. e.... s....

    Truth has spoken

  75. Z.... M....

    2020 coming up lets get it Hopsin

  76. C.... T....

    I'd probably steal his wallet to. I need equipment to record my album. 🌞

  77. i.... G....

    Seemed like he spoke too soon about Obama. He said something like he's affiliated with some kind of organization. But to be real. If any president we have EVER had wasn't part of something like that it was Obama. He seemed to do whatever he wanted, didn't seem like he had any strings, regardless about how you feel about the quality of job he did.And he had a fuck ton of haters too. And after having to follow the piece of trash G.W. Bush and also to a further degree of trash level be followed by our orange haired freak that does nothing but commit atrocities. Like why did everyone forget about the Dakota access pipeline? That was the most fucked up and now it's spilled out so it was just a waste of life and breath. If we as a country weren't already a joke, trump secretly asking for help from the UK with his impeachment trials, definitely solidified it

    i.... G....

    Brainwashed

    i.... G....

    G I guess but so are you and everyone else including every president there ever was, why did he single put Obama? I feel like he just said that to be the only one that said anything, I hate what's going on as much as anyone but I'm trying to be accurate here and I don't feel like hopsin was in those statements, sounded a little misinformed to me. I'm looking for precision, I'm not against what he said, except he could have said something realer and just couldn't come up with anything and so he was vague as fuck in what he was even saying about Obama. If you going to talk shit at least make sure your right first, and again be more specific so that if any chance Obama hears this he knows fot sure what problems we have with Hime instead of just yelling random bullshit in his ear that he won't even pay attention to. If somebody tells me I'm doing some bullshit and they are specific and correct, I know I would try to work on it. But honestly this is just a different form of propaganda. If you really thought I was brainwashed and actually wanted to do real change in the world you wouldn't type a single word reply "brainwashed". You are contributing to the destruction of everything by just being an ignorant bystander. If you are going to talk shit say something real bitch

    i.... G....

    @indigopeace G He single put Obama because Obama was president when he wrote the song

    i.... G....

    G ya well he could said something a little more specific if he was going to even touch on the subject at all. If hopsin stands for what I think he does even he would respect care for precision of word choices

  78. a.... F....

    You sick how the fuck didn't i know of your sht
    Long ago with your sick ass flow
    Homie you glow
    Counting the doe the underground already layed low
    Played the game to grow
    U didn't it son you with it
    Like Jet Lee in the one no kiddin
    I just wanna know what kept you drivin
    To go for the gold set standards
    Higher then what you were told
    Cards wernt able to fold
    The bars you spit never get old

  79. M.... A....
