LYRIC ANALYSIS
In this part of the song, Hopsin talks about how he hopped in Christianity and apparently he was on a spiritual high. Then he hit the down portion of it and now it's not as exciting. Everyone is saying "Hop you're going to hell man" because he's doubting now. It's hard to believe in something when you can't talk to or even see who you're suppose to worship. There are too many religions that call on people to blindly follow everything. And everything is a sin.

OVERALL MESSAGE

  • There may not even be a God, give me proof
  • All religions call on people to follow and listen
  • If I died right now then I'll go to Hell
  • It's too hard to believe the Bible
  • Humans are liars and are gullible

Point One
There may not even be a God, give me proof. The worldview on this is that people honestly want proof about what's real and what isn't. My view on this is I already have proof. It's all around us. The trees, the sky, animals, water, the ground it's all here. A genius man created us.

Point Three
If I died right now then I'll go to Hell. Most people in this world believe that they'll go to a better place regardless of what they do but there are some that don't care where they end up. My view is that if I haven't repented and confessed my sin then I'll go to Hell.

Point Four
It's too hard to believe the Bible. The worldview about this is that it's too hard to believe in a book without actually knowing for a fact that this spiritual being existed. My view is that it may be hard to believe in the Bible at times but having faith is taking the chance to believe even if it may not be real.

Point Five
Humans are liars and are gullible. The worldview of this is that many people are too quick to cling on to something that isn't correct and if a human written something it may be fake. My view is that humans are liars because everyone lies except for Jesus. Also I believe that people are gullible but Christianity is worth believing in. It's what I believe in and knowing that there's a God that created and loves me makes life worth it.

Impact of this song
Ill mind of Hopsin 7 is a song that I relate to the most because Hopsin is talking about how he doubts his religion and I doubt too. Everyone has doubted what they've believed. This reflects our culture because us as humans are sinful and yes we do lie but this idea of a book is a lot to wrap your mind around and to believe in. This song has made it more evident to me that I'm not the only one who doubts and liking this song, in eyes at least means that I have something to listen to when I feel doubtful because even though this song is about doubt, this song makes me believe even more due to the fact that I can look around and see that a genius man designed this world.
