Kumbaya
Hopsin Lyrics

Kumbaya, my Lord, I might say things that you might not support
I acknowledge that my beliefs and opinions may differ from yours and may not be accepted by you.

When do I drop the torch?
When should I give up and stop pursuing my goals?

Bless my enemies, which whom I mop the floor with
I find success in defeating and surpassing those who oppose me.

It's true, my thoughts are morbid
I admit that my thoughts can be dark and unsettling.

I'ma do my job, of course, shit
I will continue to fulfill my responsibilities and pursue my passion.

Can't fit in my shoes, niggas wishin' I lose
Others envy my success and hope for my failure because they cannot handle the challenges I face.

I'ma get it like, 'Woo'
I will achieve my goals with enthusiasm and excitement.

I done left it all behind me in Cali'
I have moved on from my past experiences in California.

While yellin' goodbye to my family
As I left, I bid farewell to my loved ones.

I had to do a little soul search (yeah)
I needed to take time to reflect on my inner self and find my true path.

All of my demons kept on fightin' and scrappin'
The negative thoughts and emotions within me persistently battled for control.

Inside of my mind, I was crashin'
Internally, I was experiencing turmoil and chaos.

Maybe I was having a growth spurt (uh)
Perhaps I was going through a period of significant personal development and change.

They tell me I should go out and mingle, it don't work (what?)
Others suggest that I socialize and interact with people, but it doesn't bring me the fulfillment I seek.

I've contemplated on whether or not to smoke Purp (no)
I have thought about using drugs to cope with my struggles, but I have chosen not to.

Think you sick in the head? Come visit my shed
If you believe you have mental issues, you should see the state of my mind.

I live on the edge, let's jump, shit, I'll go first
I exist in a risky, unstable state, and I'm willing to take the first leap into the unknown.

Mmm, yikes, quite preposterous (yeah)
It's unsettling and absurd to think about the reality I live in.

White kids soaking up the hype up off it
Caucasian youth are eagerly embracing and imitating the trends I represent.

Hi, I'm Hopsin, I'm obnoxious
I am Hopsin, and I have a tendency to be annoying and attention-seeking.

I've been token like the guy from Boston
I have been treated as a token, like a stereotype associated with the city of Boston.

Watch me rise to top ten (yeah)
Witness my ascent to a position among the top ten music artists.

You know what I mean? Ain't no one like me
Do you understand my perspective? There is no one else quite like me.

I'ma turn all of my haters to some overnight fiends
I will make my critics obsessed with my work and turn them into passionate fans.

I done made a lot of money from exposing my grief (what?)
I have earned a significant amount of money by sharing and revealing my personal struggles.

Flow catch bodies like it's COVID-19, nigga
My rap style is so impactful that it metaphorically 'kills' or captivates listeners, just like the COVID-19 virus.

Bitch, listen, I'm exerting the gas fumes
Listen closely, I am releasing powerful and intense energy.

I'm the asshole who goes to work in a bad mood (yeah)
I am the unpleasant individual who goes to work with a negative attitude.

Me and my alter ego make a murderous rap group (uh)
My alternate personality and I collaborate to create aggressive and sinister music.

I'm handin' beef to niggas like I'm servin' up fast food (yeah)
I confront my adversaries head-on, serving them confrontation and conflict like fast food.

I should've been spazzed, now the burden has passed through
I should have unleashed my anger and frustration, but instead, others have been affected by it.

Haters wanna laugh at all the hurdles I ran through
Those who dislike me find amusement in the challenges and obstacles I have overcome.

But the word on the avenue (what?)
However, the rumor circulating among the public is that...

Is now they wanna watch UP
Now, they want to observe my progress and success.

Like a fuckin' pervert in the bathroom
Similar to a creepy voyeur in a restroom, they want to voyeuristically observe my achievements.

Nigga, eww, yuck
That is unpleasant and repulsive.

The ladies always tell me I'm a real cunt
Women often describe me as a vulgar and unpleasant individual.

These wack motherfuckers, that's a meal lunch (yeah)
These untalented individuals are easy prey for me, like a meal.

On every instrumental, I'ma spill guts
In every song, I will passionately and emotionally express my thoughts and feelings.

And I'm still nuts (hello)
Despite everything, I am still crazy and unpredictable.

Like RoboCop's scrotum
Just like the abnormality of RoboCop's genitals, I am unusual and eccentric.

I'm givin' niggas hell but I really hope I'm not goin'
I am causing others distress and frustration, but I genuinely hope I am not losing my sanity.

And if I do, I'm pullin' up with hoes in my foreign
And if I do lose my sanity, I will arrive in style with attractive women in luxurious cars.

While the Man above is watchin' with his Coke and popcorn
Meanwhile, the higher power observes silently, enjoying the show with amusement.

Well I guess I'm a villain, labeled as strange
I suppose I am seen as a negative character, someone who deviates from the norm.

Labeled a clown, labeled deranged
I am categorized as a fool and mentally unstable.

Labeled as someone you might put to shame
I am perceived as someone who brings disgrace and embarrassment.

Labeled a freak, who's unable to change
I am seen as an oddity, incapable of conforming or transforming.

I'm sick in the head, I'm sick with the grind
I have mental health issues, and I am completely devoted to my work.

I am not someone you casually find
I am not an ordinary individual you encounter easily.

Where is the light? Give me a sign
I am searching for guidance and clarity.

'Cause I got way too much shit on my mind
I am burdened by countless worries and thoughts.

And I'ma get it all out
And I will express and release all of my thoughts and emotions.

I been noticing a shift in the industry
I have observed a change or transformation within the music industry.

Too many niggas who appear to be gritty
There are numerous individuals who project a tough and aggressive image.

Flashin' they nice jewels (what?)
They proudly display their expensive jewelry.

Braggin' about some pills and packin' a rifle (what?)
They boast about their drug use and the possession of firearms.

You just gon' be another rapper that dies soon (boom)
You will simply become another rapper who meets an early demise.

That's another body off the market
That's another death within the music industry.
