Hollywood

Yeah, homie, what you thought it was?
I'm so sick, they thought I caught a bug
I'm with the click and we just caught a buzz
And we ain't even have to call the plug
You can keep all the drugs. I don't party much
The only time I do Coke is with Bacardi Rum
They're celebrating substance abuse
I can only wonder what it's done to the youth
But it's nothing new, rappers are addicts
There's nothing cool about having a habit
They need rehab, they actually can't quit
Instead they give 'em Grammys for that shit
They sniffin' grams, they Instagram it
Pop a Lil Xan and spit some wack shit
Try to pass it off as an instant classic
Then they package that trash for the damn kids

Never thought it'd happened to me, never thought it would
But when I think about it, it probably could
Yeah, we alright; we got it good
I promise I'll never turn Hollywood

Never thought it'd happened to me, never thought it would
But when I think about it, it probably could
Yeah, we alright; we got it good
I promise I'll never turn Hollywood

Tryin' to make it is hard and tough
Feel like you can fly, finally got a buzz
Give it everything you got but it's not enough
You either die a hero or live long enough
To see yourself become the villain
Lord willin' someone shoots straight
Everyone is Two-Face
They'll break your spirit before you unpack your suitcase
They don't care 'bout your two cents, that's loose change
The A List is on some shady shit
For generations, they've been rapin' kids
And Hollywood enables it
I don't even have to say it, but it makes me sick!
What happened to Corey Haim In '86?
Allegations get erased and 86ed
Whatever it takes to get the case dismissed
No one ever pays, they just pay to get away with it

Never thought it'd happened to me, never thought it would
But when I think about it, it probably could
Yeah, we alright; we got it good
I promise I'll never turn Hollywood

Never thought it'd happened to me, never thought it would
But when I think about it, it probably could
Yeah, we alright; we got it good
I promise I'll never turn Hollywood

It's hard to survive in this game
If all that you strive for is fame
And fortune, celebrity will drive you insane
It's important to keep an eye on the snakes
They wouldn't give you the time of the day
Hold on to your soul, don't sign it away
First you'll lose your heart. Then your mind will decay
All for a part of some kind you can play
It reminds you to stay humble. They'll go to great trouble
To try to take whatever they can take from you
Music and movies, it's all the same
Try to make a change, but it's all in vain
'Cause Tinsel Town will chew you up and spit you out
It's different now, this isn't how it's supposed to be
They sold you dreams that turned out to be nightmares
It isn't quite fair, but that's what it's like there

Never thought it'd happened to me, never thought it would
But when I think about it, it probably could
Yeah, we alright; we got it good
I promise I'll never turn Hollywood

Never thought it'd happened to me, never thought it would
But when I think about it, it probably could
Yeah, we alright; we got it good
I promise I'll never turn Hollywood
