Me being banned from Australia is completely, just, a horrible thing. I’ve dated many women in my lifetime and this is the only situation like this that has ever happened to me.
On June 14, 2017, Hopsin announced through an Instagram post that the 9th installment of his Ill Mind Saga would be featured on his album, No Shame.
I got my album complete, most the videos shot for it and a crazy new “Ill Mind 9” for you guys.
Eleven days prior to release of his new album, Hopsin went on social media to reveal that “Ill Mind 9” would be released on November 23, 2017, a day before his highly anticipated album No Shame dropped. The music video for the track was released on November 23, 2017, and depicts his son, Zade, watching TV that features Hopsin rapping a song dedicated to him.

But Momma had to fuck it all up
And now your daddy doesn't fuck with your momma (hell no)
No, Daddy doesn't fuck with your momma
All together, come on!
Our lives coulda been so good
But Momma had to fuck it all up
No, Daddy doesn't fuck with my momma
Oh, hello son, I really wish I knew you
I'm your father you'll probably never be introduced to
You'll only see me on TV or maybe YouTube
By now I know your momma is probably dating some new dude
So how you liking Earth? Are you loving your existence?
I wasn't at your birth, 'cause your mother made me miss it
I tried to get a visa, I applied and they denied it
'Cause your momma told the police that I beat her, she was lyin'
And now I'm banned for something bad that I ain't even do
There's a lot of land and water separating me and you
You're far away in Australia and I am in America
So I cannot be there to do all of the things a parent does
This is my attempt at me raisin' you from a distance
You have Hopson in your blood, you are special and you are gifted
The punishment your mother has given me doesn't seem fair
Just know I love you, son, and I'm wishin' that I could be there
Our lives coulda been so good
But Momma had to fuck it all up (it's sad)
And now your daddy doesn't fuck with your momma (hell no)
Nope, Daddy doesn't fuck with your momma
Now sing it with me, son!
Our lives coulda been so good
But Momma had to fuck it all up (yeah, that's it)
And that's why Daddy doesn't fuck with my momma
(That's why what?) (Hell no)
No, Daddy doesn't fuck with my momma
I know you and your mom are stayin' with her parents Bill & Kirsten
You're partially black, I'm confident they're feelin' nervous
They don't like colored people, in their eyes you're still a burden
They assume you gonna grow up shootin' guns and stealin' purses
But that's not true, son, don't be sad
I know you're not like that, you know I got your back
Listen, here's a funny joke that you could tell your grandmother
She looks like the Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters
Oh, I forgot, you're too young to know what that is
But that's the kinda thing I like to say to plumpy fat chicks
The humps on Mom's chest are not real, they're elastic
And if you look closely you can see she's made of plastic
Like a toy, you my boy, my son, my friend
I promise we gon' be together somehow in the end
I am very ashamed that you don't have my last name
Every night I go to bed and I'm feelin' this wicked pain, because
Our lives coulda been so good
But Momma had to fuck it all up
And now your daddy doesn't fuck with your momma (hell no)
Nope, Daddy doesn't fuck with your momma
You know what time it is, son
Our lives coulda been so good
But Momma had to fuck it all up (that's right)
And that's why Daddy doesn't fuck with my momma (Daddy doesn't fuck with who?) (Hell no)
No, Daddy doesn't fuck with my momma
Currently my life has hit the floor
I can't lie to you, shit is hard
I should be buildin' with the Lord
It could be what I'm missin' or
Maybe I should continue to hurt your momma and diss her more
Just to relieve the tension that sits in my heart, 'cause it is sore
When I'm spittin' bars about all my cash and exquisite cars
This was on my vision and you were the one I did it for
My relationship with your momma is sittin' in the morgue
After all this hell, I can't lie, I do wish she did abort
Our lives are so unhappy
'Cause this world is cold and nasty
Just know your daddy don't condone havin' a broken family
I'm so sad we couldn't work out our issues 'fore you arrived
Buut now you have to suffer
'Cause Mom and Daddy have stupid lives
You're way too young to notice it
You don't deserve to go through this
If I do see your mom again, this time I will assault the bitch
At least then I'll feel like my bannin' was justified
Look at your momma, thank her for fuckin' up all our lives, and sing
Our lives coulda been so good
But Momma had to fuck it all up
And now your daddy doesn't fuck with your momma (hell no)
Nope, Daddy doesn't fuck with your momma
Where's my choir at?
Our lives coulda been so good
But Momma had to fuck it all up (Momma had to fuck it all up)
And that's why Daddy doesn't fuck with my momma
(Daddy doesn't fuck your momma) (Hell no)
No, Daddy doesn't fuck with my momma
Oh, son
I'm sorry I can't be there with you
But I'll be there soon
But Daddy doesn't fuck with your momma (no, no)
No, Daddy doesn't fuck with your momma
Just know that
Our lives coulda been so good
But Momma had to fuck it all up
And that's why Daddy doesn't fuck with my momma (hell no)
No, Daddy doesn't fuck with my momma
The lyrics to Hopsin's "Ill Mind Of Hopsin 9" tell the story of a father who is separated from his son due to the lies and manipulations of the mother. The father expresses his regret at not being able to be present in his son's life physically due to geographical distance as he is in America while the son is in Australia. He also laments not being present at his son's birth due to his visa application being denied after his mother falsely accused him of domestic violence.
The father also expresses his sadness at his son's lack of awareness of his family's true problems, as he doesn't want his son to suffer due to his and his mother's mistakes. He assures his son that he is special and gifted while putting blame on the mother for causing the separation. The song ends with Hopsin apologizing to his son for not being there and promising that he will be there soon but does not make any promises about reconciling with the son's mother.

Man, this just breaks my heart every time I hear it. Not because I can understand how he feels - my dad does.
My dad lost me in court to my mom, who had a very addicted and toxic personality which consumed her to where she couldn’t even drive me to school. I nearly went to juvy during that time (almost twice) and it was the lowest I’ve ever been (somehow, even with modern day covid me included)
But I eventually had to make my decision to move to my dads - after two years of hell both me and my dad are reunited and I’ve been living the closest thing I’ve had to a childhood ever since
The pain in this for me is that I hear my dad in this. The way he cried not knowing if I’d see him again. The way he feared what could have happened to me (and honestly he was right to). I feel all of it.
And it’s what happened to you, Hopsin. Just feeling the concentrated anguish put into this song... it’s unthinkable that this would happen to good people like you and my dad.
I’m glad we both got a happy ending.

Or your comment is greate for a lyrics, or i am insane.
"As a single father of two little ones
who had to go thru a shit ton of B S
with my baby-mama trying to "kidnap" my kids
and lying about abuse and trying to disappear
and never let me have anything to do with them
who just stuck with it and
never gave up
and ended up
with sole legal and physical custody of my kids
i can give you this
advice
Never stop trying to be a part of his life
Man, dont let a day go by without doing SOMETHING about it.
You have a god-given right to be a part of his life, eah."
