Title: Lost Souls
Artist: Hopanova
Left, left, left, right

Chorus 1:
It’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s ok
I’ve seen better days
He-e-e-e-y
He-e-e-e-y
Remember MLK
He tried to lead the way
But he was shot one day
In the early morning
It’s alright, it’s alright now
It’s alright, it’s ok
I’ve seen better days
He-e-e-e-y
He-e-e-e-y
Verse 1:
Can’t help but wonder why
So soon the greats, they die
Seems the harder you try
God calls on you to fly
They affect us all
Lift up the ones who fall
Help us to stand up tall
Break down dividing walls
They bring us together
Make the whole world better
And we’ll decide whether
Our bonds we will sever
They rise up and fight
With every ounce of might
Uniting black and white
Everything will be alright
Chorus 2:
It’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s ok
I’ve seen better days
He-e-e-e-y
He-e-e-e-y
Remember JFK
He tried to lead the way
But he was blown away
On a sunny day
It’s alright, it’s alright now
It’s alright, it’s ok
I’ve seen better days
He-e-e-e-y
He-e-e-e-y
Verse 2:
How many wars will be fought?
Young able bodies being sought
A human life cannot be bought
Hope the soldiers’ sacrifice is not for naught
When the rich wage war it’s the poor that suffer
How long will it take to understand each other?
Hope one day we realize the dream
Of our heroes like Dr. King
Can’t let the lost souls’ death be in vain
Recognize deep down that we’re all the same
Spread love and peace like MJ tried to
Make the world a better place for me and you
Chorus 3:
It’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s ok
I’ve seen better days
He-e-e-e-y
He-e-e-e-y
Do you remember MJ?
He did it his own way
It makes me sad to say
He’s seen his final days
It’s alright, it’s alright now
It’s alright, it’s ok
I’ve seen better days
He-e-e-e-y
He-e-e-e-y
Chorus 4:
It’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s ok
I’ve seen better days
He-e-e-e-y
He-e-e-e-y
Remember Bigg and Pac
They really changed hip-hop
But then they both got shot
You know it hurt a lot
It’s alright, it’s alright now
It’s alright, it’s ok
I’ve seen better days
He-e-e-e-y
He-e-e-e-y
It’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s ok
I’ve seen better days
He-e-e-e-y
He-e-e-e-y

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
