Spoken: “I show you Sorrow” (-Buddha)// VERSE 1: I guess you can call this a reintroduction // you can call me crazy, that’s a fair assumption // I’m bout to show you how a cracked mind functions // you get too scared you can part at any junction // this is something // you may not want to witness // eternal sickness // mental unfitness // you be the jury from the safety of the benches // so this is the story of a boy named Hop // a pretty quite child, didn’t talk a lot // most of the time he retreated in his mind // the world was cold but it was warm inside // didn’t fit in in his rowdy home // as a peace-seeker he preferred to be alone // became the lost child, locked in his room // at an early age, contemplating doom // soon, he began to identify with the Moon // he couldn’t disappear, in the waking hours as the Sun loomed // in the sky, he became familiar with the Dark side // Yin and sin intrigued his blossoming mind // at Night // he became himself, no one else to merge with // he was free to just be, memory of the day he purged it // in the Dark he found solace in loneliness // to understand this child, you need know only this // CHORUS 1: he’s seeking // harmony // striving for // unity // he’s seeking // Peace and Love // the world is hawkish // but he’s a dove // he’s a dove // he’s a dove // VERSE 2: he’s alone, in his attic bedroom // it was mid-June // grounded again // how long’s it been // he counted many Moons // gazing out the window // no TV so he enjoys the show // below kids laugh an play the day away // he envies them // no cares in the world, unlike him // too much time // alone in his mind // thinking bout death, even suicide // what a sweet release // from the Devil’s lease // Eternal Peace // unlike his house // where the constant arguing’s hard to shut out // he does his best // to put his mind at rest // you’d never guess // that inside he’s stressed // he’s saying “yes” // to all requests // won’t be pest // see him less and less // his momma’s gone // picks up the phone // hears the dial tone // he’s all alone // when he’s at home // plays Pac and Bone // he’s in the zone // now he’s not alone // CHORUS 2: he’s seeking // Peace and Love // what else matters // nothing’s above // CHORUS 1 // CHORUS 1 & 2
