lyrics

VERSE 1: she stabbed me in the heart through my back // now can you picture that? // this is metaphorical fact // but I don’t hate her // but I don’t love her either // her last dude used to beat her // that’s not how I treat her // but the tragedy // is how she acts with me // black eyes heal rapidly // but her internal pain, it is eternally // clutching on and she // can’t stand my pleasantries // she’s convinced that she’s bad and somehow less than me // such a sad thing // but the last thing I want is to see her packing // she’s walking out the door // and I can’t stop her // my heart can’t take no more // then somebody shot her // BRIDGE: such a tiny piece of metal destroys everything // VERSE 2: my world’s in slow mo // as I run to the window // the rain is pouring down // but I can’t hear a sound // and there he stands // her ex with gun in hand // I can’t believe my eyes // look to the dreary sky and ask “why?” // I see his lips move // whispers “I love you” // puts the gun to his temple and then boom // BRIDGE x2 // CHORUS (x2): he thought true love is won // through the barrel of a gun // I say “what have you done? // now she’ll never see the sun” // (never again) // BRIDGE x2 // VERSE 3: I snap out of my daze // my world is still a haze // I see my girls gaze // it’s staring off in space // I close her eyes // I’m kneeling by her side // I hold her tight // her lips are turning white // I kiss her anyway // and walk out in the rain // it’s washing blood away // there’s not a single ray // of hope… // BRIDGE // I grab the gun and went back to my boo // held her in my arms and place my hand on her belly where she was shot through // there’s blood there for two // now there’s just one thing to do // BRIDGE // boom

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. ... more
