I had a dream One day I woke up and I was in it I never spoke of my love’s beginnings Bangkok life, blending with nights that never finish I never thought our light could diminish Images of each minute I cherish Reminisce from our first kiss to marriage Birth of kids, baby cribs and carriage Lineage that our children inherit Chatuchak Park was the start We embarked on this journey of the heart out the dark I was blind but now I see Took some time to find mine That’s how life be Can you feel Can you still feel my love You woke me up Can’t you see (Can’t you see) Can’t you see you’re all I dream of I won’t give up Can you feel Can you still feel my love You woke me up You were the image in my mind’s eye The image of beauty I couldn’t see despite how I tried But then the stars aligned and two souls combined I left the cold behind and old scars resigned You woke me from a nightmare, where The world didn’t fight fair, rare To truly find the right pair, prayers That we can be each other’s light here, swear Can you feel (Can you feel) Can you still feel my love You woke me up Can’t you see (Can’t you see) Can’t you see you’re all I dream of I won’t give up Can you feel Can you still feel my love You woke me up

I finally know what love is now I lost it Let it go, when did my eyes become a faucet Relationship went down the drain like many droplets Your heart was opened up to me, but then you locked it I asked to give me one more shot and You went and threw away the key, I couldn’t stop it I was just trying my most Apologize in the post, but I choked And you went ahead and blocked it Unfriended, unfollowed, unwanted Unworthy of your love, this time I really done it I’m getting blunted to take away the pain Writing in vain, I’ll remain out here waiting in the rain (Lost love, lost love…) You couldn’t be loved And now I’m lost, cause I couldn’t be loved What was the cost, cause we couldn’t see love It was our loss that we thought that That we couldn’t be loved (We lost love, lost love…) And yo, this shouldn’t be us I know we fought, but it shouldn’t be us We tied the knot, but it shouldn’t be us I know there’s love, huh But it shouldn’t be us Gihi gugma ko ikaw is running out I’d beg and bow but that’s really not my style I was just trying my most and I’ll drown in this ocean Of all these emotions swirling round My world is upside, I’m heaven bound And back in my hometown they’re flipped around You used to be my ground, gave you a crown And now I wonder how… How… How… How… That where my heart was, there’s just a void now (Lost love, lost love…) You couldn’t be loved And now I’m lost, cause I couldn’t be loved What was the cost, cause we couldn’t see love It was our loss that we thought that That we couldn’t be loved (We lost love, lost love…) And yo, this shouldn’t be us I know we fought, but it shouldn’t be us We tied the knot, but it shouldn’t be us I know there’s love, huh But it shouldn’t be us (Lost love, lost love…) And yo, you couldn’t be loved And now I’m lost, cause I couldn’t be loved What was the cost, cause we couldn’t see love It was our loss that we thought that That we couldn’t be loved (We lost love, lost love…) And yo, this shouldn’t be us I know we fought, but it shouldn’t be us We tied the knot, but it shouldn’t be us I know there’s love, huh But it shouldn’t be us

Auto-tune 02:42
Ay, ay, auto-tune it Ay, ay, auto-tune it These rose colored glasses keep me from going insane Auto-tune my life, mitigate my strife Dopamine my brain I don't see no world Just filters on filters on filters I don't see no girls Just surgeons who filt her and built her What happened to soul? Just hide behind my phone, in my own zone And the hole in my heart's as big as the one in the ozone So alone Solo and so low But you'd never guess when I'm looking my best In the photo, oh no I can't do it, but I came through it Like I can't sing, so auto-tune it I might lose it, but I'll get through it Like I can't sing, so auto-tune it Ay, ay, auto-tune it Ay, ay, auto-tune it I can't do it, auto-tune it I can't sing, so auto-tune it Live in Makaybalay But I reside within my mind Living in paradise I realized That my problems' deep inside Never satisfied Got tears behind my eyes just waiting to cry And since reality lied, it's the pixel light And the joystick by my side I wish that joy would stick though My only control X, Square, Circle move the TV window A little indo sure to invoke Feelings of bliss Maybe I'll be fine by PS6 We just sit Plugged in, tuned out, Matrix sh*t What if you just can't resist Auto-tune it, make it fit I can't do it, but I came through it Like I can't sing, so auto-tune it I might lose it, but I'll get through it Like I can't sing, so auto-tune it Ay, ay, auto-tune it Ay, ay, auto-tune it I can't do it, auto-tune it I can't sing, so auto-tune it Ay, auto-tune it Just auto-tune it Auto-tune it Just auto-tune it

Fine 02:33
I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine when I find my peace of mind I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine on the other side I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine when I find my peace of mind I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine on the other side Thought I’d be fine on the other side of the world Thought I’d be fine if I could find me another girl Thought I’d be fine once I made it to that special place Thought I’d be fine when I escaped the United States No need to worry bout my kids getting shot by cops No need to worry bout their pops getting locked in blocks Cell free, apparently out the dark I made it New slavery, mentally still incarcerated And time after time I find There’s no chains around my feet But I’m far from being free So I journey inside my mind So I can claim the part of me That’s so hard for me to see I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine when I find my peace of mind I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine on the other side I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine when I find my peace of mind I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine on the other side Inside my mind all my demons lurking in the dark They bide for time, trying to seep into my broken heart Outside I’m fine, see my smile cover up the scars Inside my mind is a minefield filled with sparks And all I can do is try to make it through To the clouds where there’s no strife And baby it’s true, I wasn’t there for you Maybe I’ll be fine on the other side of life I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine when I find my peace of mind I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine on the other side

I’m going… I’m going out I’m going, I’m going out of reality I’m going… I’m going in I’m going, I’m going into my fantasy I’m still dumb and broke I still love to smoke They say all things in moderation But I’m just a man without a nation My history’s a mystery I know the ancestors is missing me So I made my world Made my own rules Wrote my own words Sang my own tunes Paid my own dues Is it true that a dream that we share is truth If it’s true I’ll share my dream with you I’m going… I’m going out I’m going, I’m going out of reality I’m going… I’m going in I’m going, I’m going into my fantasy And it’s mellow ain’t it I know you feel sedated Dreamlike, but dream light If you dream right you can create it Just state it and thank it And it will manifest Await it then take it No need to plan the rest And I plan to rest, but I must confess That I’m motionless like the reel (real) stopped Now I reached the crest I’m afraid to spill Like Jack and Jill on that hilltop And I still don’t know if I’m alive or dead Awakened or dreaming Living in a world of angels or demons But I know we can have anything when… We’re going… we’re going out We’re going, we’re going out of reality We’re going… we’re going in We’re going, we’re going into our fantasy We’re going… we’re going (going, going) We’re going (going, going) We’re going (going, going) We’re going (going, going) We’re going (going, going) We’re going, we’re going into our…

Dogma 03:12
Hopudoshi blow your mind out But keep your brain intact Sooner or later you will find out There’s no pain in that, no pain in that I know one and one is two, and purple’s red and blue And if you were to ask me, I could tell you bout the moon Cause soon it will be full, and then it will be new The light side is beautiful, but darkness exists too I know the dual of good and evil I know that trees are alive and so are people There’s an old man in the sky who’s watching peaceful I know that I’ll never die if I pray in cathedrals Hopudoshi blow your mind out (Can you feel it, can you feel it) But keep your brain intact (Can you feel it, the spirit) Sooner or later you will find out (Can you feel it, can you feel it) There’s no pain in that, no pain in that (Can you feel it, the spirit) I know the atheists are right to trust Because my teachers have implied as much Cause nothing matters but matter here From atmos- to stratosphere The apples were Adam’s fear Now atoms are everywhere And everything, that’s all there is I know I’m just a tiny being, that’s apparent No more asking what it means, insignificant I know I had a lot of dreams, but that’s meaningless It’s meaningless… That’s all meaningless… It’s meaningless… It’s just… My professor said that teachers told me lies And I believe him cause it’s written on the slides This time I’ll separate the how’s from the why’s (wise) And now I’m old enough to know that we must die Hopudoshi blow your mind out (Can you feel it, can you feel it) But keep your brain intact (Can you feel it, the spirit) Sooner or later you will find out (Can you feel it, can you feel it) There’s no pain in that, no pain in that (Can you feel it, the spirit) I know God is real, I’ve seen It I’ve felt It, I heard It, I need It I know eternity is not infinite time It’s no time at all, I know the times I fall I know heaven, I know hell, I know despair I know hope, I know bliss, unlikely pairs I know there’s one thing I recall I know I know nothing at all Hopudoshi blow your mind out (Can you feel it, can you feel it) But keep your brain intact (Can you feel it, the spirit) Sooner or later you will find out (Can you feel it, can you feel it) There’s no pain in that, no pain in that (Can you feel it, the spirit) No pain in that (Can you feel it, can you feel it) No pain in that (Can you feel it, can you feel it) No pain in that (Can you feel it, can you feel it) No pain in that (Can you feel it, can you feel it)

Reverie 02:50
I’m here to stay, and I’m here for life, so Now I thank that (uh, oh) I’m here to stay, and I’m here for life, so (oh, oh) I remember staring at the ceiling Up late nights, couldn’t shake the feeling That at 6 years old, I was ready for the cold I was never carefree like the other children Kitchen knife under the bed to use it Ready to do it, but what if I blew it Would it be quick, what if I hit a rib Tonight’s the night, I’d always pledge But I was scared of that serrated edge I’m here to stay, and I’m here for life, so Now I thank that Serrated knife, oh I’m here to stay, and I’m here for life, so Now I thank that Serrated knife (Oh, oh, oh) (Oh, oh) (Oh, oh) (Oh) Picture a boy contemplating life - death The universe and what’s worse - best What’s after this, I couldn’t fathom bliss And nothingness was worth the risk if I could have my wish And this continued into adolescence A troubled mind all the time, so I was bad at lessons And gunshots on my block couldn’t do me harm I welcomed stray slugs like hugs in my open arms But then it all changed I’m thankful every day That by God’s grace I finally found my way And now I got my wife and kids to celebrate and I’m glad my mom got the kitchen knives that were serrated I’m here to stay, and I’m here for life, so Now I thank that Serrated knife, oh I’m here to stay, and I’m here for life, so Now I thank that Serrated knife (Oh, oh, oh) (Oh, oh) (Oh, oh) (Oh) I’m here to stay, and I’m here for life, so Now I thank my Kids and wife, oh I’m here to stay, and I’m here for life, so Now I thank my Kids and wife, oh

Unreal 03:36
We’re at the top of the mountains now Looking down at the clouds Up at the top of the mountains now Just looking down at the clouds But now I’m filled with fear and doubt That I’ll come tumbling down Up at the top of the mountains now Looking down at the clouds What do you do when your dreams came true Who you wanted to be became you No more providence on that horizon Grass never greener on other sides when You’re living in your fantasy So what’s reality now, I just can’t figure it out Dreams made real but there’s no proof Row down the stream that steers to truth Don’t wake me down Don’t break me up from this slumber I’m flying up under We’re at the top of the mountains now Just looking down at the clouds Up at the top of the mountains now Looking down at the clouds Looking down at the clouds Down at the clouds Just looking down at the clouds Up at the top of the mountains now Will I come tumbling down Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for God’s Grace Finally found my way from out the ash I came But I swear I died in that car crash Cause ever since that day it’s all gone my way And I know the world is a mental place Just like heaven and hell are both mental states Every day I pray that I’m alive not late Don’t wanna open my eyes Don’t wanna test the fates Don’t wake me down Don’t break me up from this slumber I’m flying up under These cirrus clouds They blanket me like a cover They fill me with wonder We’re at the top of the mountains now Just looking down at the clouds Up at the top of the mountains now Looking down at the clouds Looking down at the clouds Down at the clouds Just looking down at the clouds Up at the top of the mountains now Will I come tumbling down We’re at the top of the mountains now Just looking down at the clouds Up at the top of the mountains now Just looking down at the clouds Looking down at the clouds Down at the clouds Just looking down at the clouds But then I turn my head around And see the stars abound

about

Fantasy is the latest album from Columbus rapper, Hopudoshi. The Ohio native has been known to release conceptual projects, and Fantasy is no different. But unlike 2018’s sprawling 18 track LOVER REBEL MYSTIC, Fantasy is short and succinct. Although it’s not as lengthy as Hopudoshi’s previous work, there’s still plenty to chew on lyrically and thematically, and its brevity allows for a tonal and sonic consistency that his other projects lacked. Here, emotional tones shift naturally as the album progresses, without the need for explanatory interludes. This is made possible by the consistent production of Riddiman, the only producer on the album.

about

Hopudoshi Columbus, Ohio

Hopudoshi is an American rap artist who currently resides in the Philippines. His introspective rhymes offer social commentary with a mystical bent.

Hopudoshi, Hopanova, and Hop-Leo all represent different sides of my personality. Sometimes they are in harmony and sometimes they are in conflict. The differences between them are the reason for some of my ambivalent feelings towards certain issues.
