lyrics
Title: Age of Aquarius
Artists: Hopudoshi, Hop-Leo, & Hopanova
Chorus:
Hopanova:
It’s the dawn of the Age of Aquarius
This is the time for all of us
Everybody join hands, no cause for fuss
It’s not the end it’s Aquarius
Background Voice FX: Is this what you wanted (Repeat 4x)
Verse 1:
Hop-Leo:
Some say approaching is the end of days
But it’s just the beginning of the new age
This is the time for revolutionary love
Replace the war hawk with the dove
No more pressure for conformity
You be you and I’ll be me
We’ll all join together, help humanity
Respect the knowledge gained by astrology
Awaiting the messiah, did he already come?
Barrack Hussein Obama anyone?
Is this wishful thinking or blasphemy
Will there ever be world wide unity
It’s time to realize ideology
Ideal communism will set the people free
But you don’t have to take it from me
Just look at the stars and you will see
*Chorus*
Spoken:
Hopanova:
**When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
*Chorus*
Verse 2:
Hopudoshi:
Don’t let Hop-Leo fool ya, it’s no utopia
Listen to my lyrics, yes I’m invoking ya
Hopudoshi keeps it all the way real
I bring it hardcore with rhymes you can feel
In this new age the religion is science
Everybody’s waiting for the newest appliance
The media hypes it and we buy it
Look at the success of Miley Cyrus
Television has dumbed us down
Without GPS we can’t get around
What happened to navigation with the stars?
One day the rich will vacation on Mars
Knowledge and science will be abused
The proletariat will still be used
Sorry I had to burst your bubble
But I’m not very good at being subtle
*Chorus*
Spoken:
Hopanova:
**Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
*Chorus*
Verse 3:
Hopudoshi & Hop-Leo:
Every age has positives and negatives
What’s important is the way that we handle it
We can destroy the world or create a better one
The Age of Aquarius, mankind’s kingdom
Time to rebel against the status quo
Stop the violence, love our foes
What exactly does this new age hold?
When does it start? No one knows
The new world order has it right
Diplomacy, not preemptive strikes
Nuclear disarmament, a safer planet
All of these developments like someone planned it
Let’s not lose our faith in the Ultimate
Science has its place, but it’s not all legit
Don’t let the T.V. control your brain
In this crazy world don’t go insane
Technology is great, but don’t be over reliant
Enjoy the beauty of nature, go head try it
The throne is being handed to our generation
It’s time to unite every nation
Practice equality and philanthropy
A general love of humanity
We can make utopia, it’s up to us
This is the dawn of the Age of Aquarius
*Chorus 2x*

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....more
