[Obie Trice]
Can we re- can we re-enact Biggie's song?
C-can you shit on me?
I just want you to shit on me
[Hook - Eminem (singing)]
Hey lady, hey darlin', hey baby
I'm sorry but I can't be your boyfriend
If you toy with my motherfuckin' emotions
I'll kill you
Bitch I'm fuckin'
For real I'll make you suffer like I suffered
If you fuck me then I'll make you fall in love
[in the background of the hook]
Hey lady, hey lady
I don't think you really wanna be my girl
(be my girl, be my girl, be my girl)
Fuckin' with me can be dangerous (dangerous, dangerous)
You never know what I really (be like, be like)
(be like, be like, I'm your type)
(And might even get a little bit crazy)
[Obie Trice]
Baby I'm extra large (huge) in magnitude
And Magnums to lubrication that I use
To chose which hole on a ho I abuse (yes)
Have 'em confused, can't tell who is who
When I fuck the shit out you, then the next date (bitch)
I rush the shit out you off my two-way (ooh wait)
You wanna cuddle, emotional hustle up on Pocono's
Poke ya nose in and outta Obie's own
No, I'm in and out your home
And this in and out your tone
I ain't the nigga that settles 'em down
Put 'em in nice homes and floss 'em around (nah)
I bounce 'em around
Camcord the sex and sell 'em around town
How that sound?
If I was in love witcha, now you wanna clown
Fuck with them clowns until I pound on your crown
Bust a few rounds and the cops come and get me
Bad mouth a nigga just to convince a jury
You don't want it with me, you just horny as me
You want a nut, nuttin' but what is you be
[Eminem]
I'm internationally known baby but actually
There are few people who know how I am naturally
All you know is that I can act irrationally
When you shove a puppet up in my face on national TV
So they label me this crazed loony rap bully
But truthfully that ain't the truth
And if you believe in that shit
Then you'll believe anything's true
And you're too stupid to ever get to know me personally
But personally that actually works for me
Cuz the last thing that I need's a string attached to me
I'ma bachelor bitch and I ain't in no fast fury
To run out and find a new Mrs. Mathers
Cuz see, technically me and Kim ain't back fully
But we do still make booty calls occasionally
But be damned if I end up back in that pad
And we end up back at that god damn tavern
And havin' another déjà vu, we seein' security
Pass my pussy around like it's Ja Rule's jewelry
I got news for you bitch, your news curfew's early
You ain't home by 2:30 [gunshot]
[Hook - Eminem (singing)]
Hey lady, hey darlin', hey baby
I'm sorry but I can't be your boyfriend
If you toy with my motherfuckin' emotions
I'll kill you
Bitch I'm fuckin'
For real I'll make you suffer like I suffered
If you fuck me then I'll make you fall in love
[in the background of the hook]
Hey lady, hey lady
I don't think you really wanna be my girl
(be my girl, be my girl, be my girl)
Fuckin' with me can be dangerous (dangerous, dangerous)
You never know what I really (be like, be like)
(be like, be like, I'm your type)
(And might even get a little bit crazy)
[Obie Trice]
See you lookin' at the life, you lookin' at the lights (lights)
You lookin' at the ice (ice) you ain't lookin' at the Trice (right)
You should look at some advice when I see he ain't nice (nope)
Despite the fact you think you the feisty type
O love to fight (uh) I love the drama (yeah)
Love when my bitch get to cussin' out Yolanda (fuck you bitch)
Find the Obie condom on the counter
Swingin' her weave, can't breathe like I can't believe
Least I ain't deceieve and try to mislead
And sell a dream just to get you on my team
I came clean to keep down the beef
Keep down my reach, you can keep all your teeth
[Eminem]
What we do under the covers should stay between the covers
And the two of us and we ain't gotta be news coverage
On the front page cover of "Buzz's New Lovers"
And this is when the bitch get to showin' the true colors
Cuz the truth of it, everything that I do's public
And you'd love it if you could run and tell all your friends
Guess who you just screwed, assume just me and you've done it
And say that you was rubbered and show 'em the proof of it
But I guess it's do unto others as you'd have 'em do unto you
But you better be careful of who you're doin' it to
Cuz you never know when the shoe
Could end up on the other foot and it backfires on you
Cuz you think you want it then you want me, then you get me
Then you got me and you're fucked cuz you'll be stuck with me
For the rest of your life cuz if I get attached to you
We'll be joined at the hip, I'll be so latched to you
You'll be walkin' out the house and I'll run up and tackle you
Chain your ass up to the bed and shackle you
You don't think you're leavin' this house in that, do you?
Not till I brand my name in your ass and tattoo you
And have you walkin' out this bitch in turtleneck sweaters
Scarves and full leathers in 90 degree weather
Front on me? Never
Cuz we gonna be together forever
Right bitch? [gun cock]
Right bitch? [gun cock, shot]
[Hook - Eminem (singing)]
Hey lady, hey darlin', hey baby
I'm sorry but I can't be your boyfriend
If you toy with my motherfuckin' emotions
I'll kill you
Bitch I'm fuckin'
For real I'll make you suffer like I suffered
If you fuck me then I'll make you fall in love
[in the background of the hook]
Hey lady, hey lady
I don't think you really wanna be my girl
(be my girl, be my girl, be my girl)
Fuckin' with me can be dangerous (dangerous, dangerous)
You never know what I really (be like, be like)
(be like, be like, I'm your type)
(And might even get a little bit crazy)
(fall in love) (crazy)
(fall in love) (crazy)
(fall in love) (crazy)
Ooh you're a holiday, such a holiday
Ooh you're a holiday, such a holiday
It's something I thinks worthwhile
If the puppet makes you smile
If not then you're throwing stones
Throwing stones, throwing stones
Ooh it's a funny game
Don't believe that it's all the same
Can't think what I've just said
Put the soft pillow on my head
Millions of eyes can see
Yet why am I so blind?
When the someone else is me
It's unkind, it's unkind
De de de de de de de
De de de de de de
De de de de de de de
De de de de de de
Yet millions of eyes can see
Yet why am I so blind?
When the someone else is me
It's unkind, it's unkind
Ooh you're a holiday, every day, such a holiday
Now it's my turn to say and I say you're a holiday
It's something I think's worthwhile
If the puppet makes you smile
If now then you're throwing stones
Throwing stones, throwing stones
De de de de de de de
De de de de de de

Holiday,
Oh what a lovely day today,
I'm so glad they sent me away,
To have a little holiday today, holiday,
Holiday,
And I'm just standing on the end of a pier,
Hoping and dreaming you were here,
To share my little holiday,
Lookin' in the sky, for a gap in the clouds,
Sometimes I think that sun ain't never coming out,
But I'd rather be here than in that dirty old town,
I had to leave the city cos it broke me down,
Oh holiday, oh what a lovely day today,
I think I'll get down on my little knees and pray, thank you Lord,
Thank heaven for this holiday, holiday,
I'm leaving insecurity behind me,
The environmental pressures got me down,
I don't need no sedatives to pull me round,
I don't need no sleeping pills to help me sleep sound,
Oh holiday,
Oh what a lovely day today,
I think I'll get down on my knees and pray,
That's what I'll do,
Thank heaven for this holiday,
Lying on the beach with my back burned rare,
And the salt gets in my blisters and the sand gets in my hair,
And the sea's an open sewer,
But I really couldn't care,
I'm breathing through my mouth so I don't have to sniff the air,
Oh holiday,
Oh what a lovely day today,
I'm so glad they sent me away,

Holiday

The weather channel girl
with her perfect weather curl
is talking cold, cold, cold
You can't get out of bed
you can't remember what you've said
you're feeling old, old, old
Is it fever or depression
anger or agression
what's the remedy?
We're not talking rocket science
the answer to your question's
very plain to see
Chorus
You need a holiday
take a holiday
find a far off wonderland
where you might regain command
of your life today
Take a holiday
you need a holiday
grab a pack and hit the trail
take a sail
and wind up in some moonlight bay
You're caught up in the Internet
you think it's such a great asset
but you're wrong, wrong, wrong
All that fiber optic gear
still cannot take away the fear
like an island song
Disregard confession
Stop trying to make impressions
on your corporate climb
it might come as quite a shock
but you can't really own that rock
it's just a waste of time
So, take a holiday
you need a holiday
find a place to find yourself
take your life down off that shelf
quit acting so blase
Take a holiday
you need a holiday
grab a pack and hit the trail
take a sail
and wind up in some moonlight bay
Well it's only up to you
no one else can teach you to
go out and have some fun
though if you want to stay alive
evade the big nose dive
be a comedian
And take a holiday
you need a holiday
find a far off wonderland
where you might regain command
of yourlife today
Take a holiday
you need a holiday
grab a pack and hit the trail
take a sail
and wind up in some moonlight bay
You need a holiday
take a holiday
find a place to find yourself
take your life down off that shelf
quit acting so blase
Take a holiday
you need a holiday
grab a pack and hit the trail
take a sail
and wind up in some moonlight bay
The weather channel girl

Anger or agression?
What's the remedy?
We're not talking rocket science
The answer to your question's
Very plain to see
You need a holiday
Take a holiday
Find a far off wonderland
Where you might begin
Commandin' your life, today
Take a holiday
You need a holiday
Grab a pack and hit the trail
Take a sail and wind up
In some moon lit bay
You're caught up in the internet
You think it's such a great asset
But you're wrong, wrong, wrong
All that fibre optic gear
Still cannot take away the fear
Like an island song
Disregard confession
Stop trying to make impressions
On your corprate climb
It might come as quite a shock
But you can't really own that rock
It's just a waste of time
So take a holiday
You need a holiday
Find a place to bind yourself
Take your life down off that shelf
Quit acting so blase
Take a holiday
You need a holiday
Grab a pack and hit the trail
Take a sail and wind up

If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life

Forget about the bad times, oh yeah
One day to come together
To release the pressure

You just can't be found
Loud days, endless nights
Are starting to make me crazy
And now you're gone
There's nothing left for me
(Hollywood)
I don't care for sunny weather

Blinded by neon nights
And as I look back

In the lobby
Of my high-rise
I hide
Behind my shades
Cause the fame is blinding my eyes
My god
I know how Ozzie Oz
Once had felt when he was as high
As I have got
I have got
To make this stop
People often warn me
That the fame ain't for the vain if heart
It'll change those
Who they had love for you
Into strangers
When your fame starts
It's a chain reaction
Locomotion like when the train departs
Stranger
Things have happened
Rapping
Stacking
Platinum plaquin'
Born in Brooklyn got a place in Manhattan
Going back to Brooklyn
To escape the madness
When your friends is
Chris and Gwyneth
When your girl is more famous
Then you then is
Time to get all your windows tinted
Keep your eyes squinted
It's gon' flash any minute
The music biz is like musical chairs
Its about where you standing when the music stop spinning
In a
You got to get it

Most addicted drug in the world

People running everywhere, not one place to go
Got no time to look around to find out where they are
Where they are, where they are
People having such a race, don't know where it ends
Got beat the other man, not getting anywhere
Anywhere, anywhere
Hollywood
Crazy neighborhood
Never understood why I stay
Hollywood
Lovely lady hood
Make you feel good everyday
Feeling the nights pass by
Under the knowing eyes
Of the sweet butterflies
Watch what you say when you say it
Someone you know will betray it
Will betray it
Hollywood
Oh, crazy neighborhood
Never understood why I stay
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
I heard it through, heard it through
I heard it through the grapevine
Hollywood, Hollywood
[Incomprehensible]
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Far off into the distance
Holding on inside
Nobody to hear me scream
Nobody to hear me cry
Too close to no nobody
Too far to hold onto life
There's nowhere to run
And nowhere to hide
Hold onto yourself
Hold onto the life that you live
Hold onto me
And never let go
Don't be afraid
To face the dangers each day
Hold onto me
And never let go
Too heavy to fly away
Too light to try to die
Too false to live no truth
Too trughful to deny
Too weak to live
Too strong to hold back now
Too many answers
To ask the qusetion how
[Chorus]
Don't deny that you live
Don't deny that you breathe
Just hold onto me
Don't lie cuz you're real
Don't lie you can deal with this
Hold onto me
Take me back
Hold my hand
All the way back
To the brotherland
Take me back
I want to go back
Take me back
And my funky ass band
All the way back
To the broherland
Take me back
I want to go
As fast as I can
Slidin' on back
To the brotherland
Now children
Hollywood...
I want to get up and go
With my funky ass jams
All the way back
To the broherland
Take me back
I want to go back
Hollywood...
Where the women
Is the women
And the man
Is the man
I want to go
As fast as I can
Slidin' on back
To the brotherland
Now children
Let's go away for a while
You and I
To a strange and distant land
Where they speak no word of truth
But we don't understand anyway
Holiday
Far away
To stay
On a holiday
Far away
Let's go today
In a heartbeat!
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Don't bother to pack your bags
Or your map
We won't need them where we're going
We're going where the wind is blowing
Not knowing where we're gonna stay
Holiday
Far away
To stay
On a holiday
Far away
Let's go today
In a heartbeat!
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
We will write a postcard
To our friends and family
In free verse
On the road with Kerouac
Sheltered in his Bivouac
On this road we'll never die...
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Let's go away for a while
You and I
To a strange and distant land
Where they speak no word of truth
But we don't understand anyway
Holiday
Far away
To stay
On a holiday
Far away
To stay
On a holiday!
Let's go away
Let's go away
On a holiday
Let's go away
Let's go away
All night long
Hollywood
All night long
You're saddle sore
And on the grind
Just pushed you a little bit more
Don't mind if I do
It's Hollywood
Hot damn - hands in a jam
Never say can't
'Cause you know you can
In Hollywood
Don't be mesmerized
What goes on here
Ain't no surprise
As long as you'll be cool
In Hollywood
Oh, wee set the pace
Fill your nose
Despite your face
They'll make you Babylon
In Hollywood
Now you see it
Now you don't
Someone's gonna take it away
Now you see it
Now you won't
Every dog has it's day
Oh wee I got the cools
A brand new car
And the family jewels
And they won't stop me now
In Hollywood
Oh wee boogedy shoe
Got myself a new hairdo
I'm makin it somehow
In Hollywood
Now you see it
Now you don't
Someone's gonna take it away
Now you see it
Now you won't
Every dog has it's day
All night long
Hollywood
All night long
Hollywood
In time they'll build you up
And then they'll bring you down
Hollywood
You're a dream machine
Some day they'll burn the king for sellin out
Chew you up and spit you out
Just like heaven when things are good
But there ain't no hell like
Hollywood
Would you guess
What it's all about
You may be a lady
But I'll knock you out
Wrap my knuckles upside your head
Make you take back
Every damn thing you said
You play with me
Gonna pay the price
No ghost of a chance
I'm holdin the dice
You lie about this and
lie about that
Don't wanna hear
Nothing about no more crap
Now you see it
Now you don't
Someone's gonna take it away
Now you see it
Now you won't
Every dog has it's day
All night long
Hollywood
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday
Exchange the cold days for the Sun
A good time and fun
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday
Exchange your troubles for some love
Wherever you are
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday
Longing for the Sun you will come
To the island without name
Longing for the Sun be welcome
On the island many miles away from home
Be welcome on the island without name
Longing for the Sun you will come
Atlanta, Georgia made her the Ctoon Queen
L.A. bound, she had visions of the silver screen
But Hollywood ain't nothin' but glamor and lights
To a blue-eyed blond with stars in her eyes
Her days are long, Lord, her nights are longer yet
Tryin' to find a part that will make her the Queen of Sex
She's realizin' what it's all about
From too many nights upon the casting couch
Hollywood parties and thrills
The mansion in her mind is somewhere in Beverly Hills
She's been discovered too many times
Standing on the corner of Hollywood and Vince
She makes her entrance now a days through the swingin' doors
She found her stage on a hardwood barroom floor
But it's not the bottom, just part of a long, hard fall
Her biggest fan's the man tonight she'll give her all
The dream is dyin' of her name on the marquee
The folks back home wonder what happened to their Queen
The mornin' papers told it in black and white
Calling it another Hollywood suicide
Hollywood parties and thrills
The mansion in her mind is somewhere in Beverly Hills
She's been discovered too many times
Drinkin' my wine, makes me feel fine,
Gonna have me a holiday
Poorman's party, rich man's daughter,
Gettin' hotter and hotter.
She's pushin' way too hard
I don't want any part of her way
Drinkin' my wine, makes me feel fine,
Gonna have me a holiday.
It's a holiday, it's a holiday
Mama, mama, please no more jaguars
I don't want to be a pop star
Mama, mama, please no more deckhands
I don't want to be a sailor man
Mama, mama, please no more facelifts
I just don't know which one you is
Mama, mama, please no more husbands
Drinkin' my wine, wastin' my time
Hidin' out in my rented dream
Lookin' for attention
A cover story mention in
Life magazine
Ask the chauffeur who he knows
Numbers he's got, lots of those.
Drinkin' my wine, spendin' my time
Tryin' to run from this halloween.
It's a holiday, it's a holiday
Mama, mama, please no more jaguars
I don't want to be a pop star
Mama, mama, please no more deckhands
I don't wanna be a sailor man
Mama, mama, please no more facelifts
I just don't know which one you is
Mama, mama, please no more husbands
I don't know who my daddy is.
It's a holiday, it's a holiday

Whose jalopy is covered with junk
But don't have any money for lunch?
It's Hollywood, it's Hollywood
Who's the local star
With the big, fine car?
It's Hollywood
Who wears the shady glasses after dark?
Who tries to talk the little girlie's into parking?
It's Hollywood, Hollywood
Who's the local yokel with
The horn rimmed bifocals?
It's Hollywood
Go, go, go
Who else would hold a cigarette like that?
Who else would wear a little Frenchy's hat?
No one but Hollywood, Hollywood
Who thinks he's been around
But ain't never been out of town?
It's Hollywood
I'll give you just one little guess
At who old Hollywood's trying to impress
You're right, it's Hollywood, Hollywood
Who's that farmer
Who think he's a charmer?
It's Hollywood
Yeah, it's Hollywood all right
Here Hollywood, here's a quarter
Go buy yourself some, ah, continental pants
Orange and yellow and purple and green
The lights of the city at night set the scene
Stumble through the bars of forget me not lane
Sparkle through the glitter but don't show the pain
In Hollywood, underneath a golden palm tree
Hollywood, come to the party the drinks are on me for free
Heartbeats echo through a cavern of love
Come to the tavern I'll meet you up above
Soaring through the heavens, what a fabulous ride
But everybody's heading for the same place to hide
In Hollywood, underneath a golden palm tree
Hollywood, come to the party the drinks are on me for free
The drinks on me for free, the drinks on me for free
Knowledge, where the people at?
Free Mumia!
Channel Live! (KRS-One, come and represent)
(The wisdom)
Hah hah hah hah hah hahaha!
Free Mumia!
Everywhere I look there's another house negro
Talkin about they people and how they should be equal
They talkin but the conversation ain't goin nowhere
You can't diss hip-hop, so don't you even go there
C. Delores Tucker, you wanna quote the scripture
Everytime you hear nigga, listen up sista
Verse One: Hakim, KRS, Tuffy
I met up with this girl named Delores, a prankster
I said I MC, she said, "You're a gangster"
But she was caught up, she hit the floor like a breakdance
Wrapped her up like the arms in a b-boy stance
Recognize moms I'm one of your sons I'm hip-hop
in the form of Channel Live and KRS-One
Representin MC's across America
She said, "You're the one who be causin all that mass hysteria"
Wisdom shall come out of the mouths of babes and sucklings
But you blinded by cultural ignorance and steady judging
But judge not, lest ye may be judged
For the judgment ye judge ye shall surely be judged, you gets no love
She said, "I like it, that's why I jock it"
Then I said, "You only on my back because I fill brother's pockets"
Got em drivin Benzes Jeeps and Rolls Royces
Attackin me will leave youth with no voices
The choice is yours not mine hang with me
I'll have you freestyle and bombin graffiti
We can cut it up like like wax
Claimin I cause violence but America was violent before rap, FACT
Chorus: KRS-One
Warner, Elektra, Atlantic equals WEA
Instead of fighting them why don't you go free Mumia
(repeat 2X)
Verse Two: Tuffy, KRS, Hakim
Wild recital, I kicks the vital, like the _Final
Call_ as I watch, Babylon fall
I had to Rush Limbaugh, get that pig with an axe
Tuffy dips to the side, buckin cannons that's phat
Because he censors the uses of the metaphor
You can get the dick bum up
Because it's you that brings the, real horrorcore
Expenditures forgettin, gut from the poor
Why sure! Back before we were born they sold us out
Yeah Dade Jackson we know what you about
Youse a Slave Mason, not a Free Mason
Before long the Goddess Tiamat through hip-hop you'll be facin
Don't start me, cause I be the, lyricist
At the nineteen ninety-nine millenium party held at Giza
Sayin he's a, fraud, oh my Goddess
Never in your life should you disrespect an artist
Instead, focus your attention on astronomy
And the up and coming, shift in the economy
If you can't do that, then heed the final call
To free Mumia, Abu-Jamal
Hate to be so rough, it could be the White Owls
House niggaz are full of crap, like my Colin Powell
Kickin vowels, is how we relieve the tension
Until we start to bounce white people like suspension (revolution)
You paint the pictures, the black man on the corner
But tell me, who blew up Oklahoma?
The City, ain't no pity, for the beast
It's Hakim that voice from the East
Chorus
Verse Three: KRS, Hakim, Tuffy
Buck buck! Buck buck buck!
It sound like gunshots but it could be the plot
of a chicken, definition, is what you're missin and
listen to your children instead of dissin em
Senator Dole doesn't understand the young people
Like they be sayin want to, but we be sayin wanna
They gettin dumber every summer as they walk the rope
Maybe because they cannot understand the quotes
Word, in actuality, this Norman Bates mentality
always seems to represent, minus three-sixty percent
For degrees full circle, dead from the purple
rays of the sun I gots melanin so check it
Bag your nuts quick or get sick from being naked
Suspect it, was it a means for the end
For just a few to drive the Benz while you eat the pigskins
Turned you into mannequins, cause the trick of technology
A revelation, revalations
Sensation gives me inspiration of revolution
That's my solution, there will be no sequels
I'm audi hundred forty four thousand with my people
From Caligula to Hitler, now it's Schwartzeneggar
A lust for the violence is the science of their behavior
Who enslaved ya (it's the Devil) but the God of virtuosity
And of the world created, could it be mental sodomy
Got my mind twisted like the blades of fonta leaf
I sit in disbelief as he crawls underneath
the rock cock back the glock, cause I don't trust
the Devil I rebel until Babylon is dust
Yeah
L O X nigga
It don't stop
It keep goin, and goin, and goin, and goin
Motherfuckers
You heard it from the P, you oughta know it's the truth
I get you kidnapped and raped and thrown off a roof
You could nod your head to this like it's only a rap
Cuz when these bullets hit your ass I'm like it's only a gat
I need a funeral to feel good, I'm hopin it's yours
Think you delicious, heard he got shot in the cross
Holiday Styles, bitch I broke most of the laws
Fuck with the poor, so flip to the boots, stick to the truth
Do anything it takes just to give it a slue
And missin a tooth, but both of 'em chipped, toaster is gripped
You heard about the trouble, I start most of the shit
When I squeeze aint no controllin the wrist
And niggas leave the room when the hear the P blowin his whis
I'm an ignorant and negative nigga
I sell crack, bust guns, pop shit, and say I'm better than niggas
You think not, I'll look at your man and level a nigga
If you think a rapper's better why don't you give me his name
So I can run up on him, tear him up and give you his frame
When it comes to the streets, I'm the nigga to call
Five eight and three quarters, but I'm bigger than y'all
If I left the gun home, I'ma give you the sword
I'm the devil in the flesh, I can't give you the Lord
It don't make no sense for you to pray for your life
I got my niggas in the crib, you oughta pray for your wife
Uh huh, HOLIDAY
I gotta make it to heaven for goin through hell
HOLIDAY
And I don't care if I sell, y'all know what I sell
HOLIDAY
I use my left hand when I'm loadin the shells
HOLIDAY
Cuz I know it aint right, that's why I'm blowin a L
Yo, I do it all for my niggas, even rob wit a bomb
Get shot, die in his arm, and give him my last
It's a million dollar bail, I'ma get it in cash
I sell crack like it's '88, I live in the past
You know the P carry the gun, live in the mask
Tell niggas show me the money and gimme the stash
I like malibu and pineapple, fifty's of hash
Hundred's of dro, wear my clothes a week in a row
Sleep on the floor, catch me right next to the dog
I'm Holiday Styles, and that's what the weaponry for
And I probably won't blow for the fact that I'm hard
But I'm good with ten million in the back of the car
Either that or get life and lift the rack in the yard
Gettin jewels from the old timers, stashin the cards
But jail aint part of the plans
I keep weight on the scale cuz I feel I get further with grams
In my last few bars, I run through niggas like my last few cars
And crash 'em up, the boy mighta went platinum but don't gas him up
I get his length and his width and get his casket cut
I don't deal with the snakes and fakes
But I deal with the comas and wakes, I don't make mistakes
Double R now bitch you oughta know I'ma ghost
Say, hey!
Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame
The shame, the ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery"
And bleed, the company lost the war today
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On Holiday
Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line
To find the money's on the other side
Can I get another Amen?
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
The representative from California has the floor
Zieg Heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang, bang goes the broken glass
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws, yeah
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday
Ich bin jetzt anders, sie haben mich geändert
Doch ich bin immer noch der Meinung:
Es gibt zu viele Menschen
Ich kann sie nicht ertragen, sie quälen mich mit
Schmerzen
Doch das Übel an Geräuschen ist das Schlagen ihrer
Herzen.
Halt! Bleibt stehen!
Halt! Bleibt stehen!
Ich kann es nicht, nicht ertragen.
Halt!
Hört auf zu schlagen!
Seht ihr nicht, mir geht´s nicht gut
Doch sie pumpen weiter Blut und
Wie sie sich vermehren, sie kommen über mich in Scharen
Ich kann sie nicht ertragen
Versuch sie auuszumerzen
Es dröhnt in meine Schläfen das Schlagen ihrer Herzen
Halt! Bleibt stehen!
Halt! Bleibt stehen!
Ich kann es nicht, nicht ertragen
Halt!
Hört auf zu schlagen!
Stillgestanden in der Brust,
Ein totes Herz ist kein Verlust
Rührt euch nicht!
Niemand quält mich so zum Scherz
Ich lass die Sonne an euer Herz
Niemand quält mich so zum Scherz
Ich bringe Licht an euer Herz
Die Entscheidung fällt nicht schwer
Ich geh jetzt heim und hole mein Gewehr.
Halt! Bleibt stehen!
Halt! Bleibt stehen!
Niemand quält mich so zum Scherz
Hello..
Hey, what's happenin'?
It's been a minute, huh? I'm just hollerin'
How you doin?
It's been a minute since I seen ya,
I fell off for the scene,
Cuz it seem like you wanted other things than da king,
Why you fightin', fussin', cussin', and disagreein' wit da king?
When you got cribs, cars, bling, and a king wit da king?
Is the grass as green as it seemed in ya dreams,
Are you gettin all the things that you needed and I ain't bring,
Does it satisfy your self-esteem bein seen on da screen,
Is this new nigga the real thing or is just a lil' fling?
Did he buy a nice bracelet and get ya a lil' ring?
Or give you all the attention and the lil' things?
He know what to do with the stuff you stuff in them lil' jeans?
Do he stand up and lean in it 'til you start screamin'?
Or smack your ass and kiss your G-String to start eatin? (muah),
You get how you need it, not only when it's convenient,
I just pick up the phone and call you every week or two to let you know I miss you,
To see how that other nigga treatin' you.
I remember morning, noon, and night,
I used to hold you tight,
I know we used to fuss and fight ,
But I'm just calling to say (hello) Hello, (hello, oh baby)
See time has a funny way of keeping us close,
Even though we never stayed, toghether,
I just wanted to say (hello) hello (hello)
Hello?
Ay, it's me,
Hey, what's happenin? How ya doin?
I know plenty of niggas pursuin' them panties, all for the screwin',
Fly you down to Miami,
Let you walk the red carpet when I'm at da Grammys,
But I'm what he can never be, a boss, understand me?
He pose and take pictures of things he buy for ya,
He got you a rose, but that don't mean he'd die for ya,
Hey, maybe I got too much pride to cry for ya,
But not too much to call you and tell you that I adore ya,
And tell you how I'm missin you, lovin you, and kissin you,
And think about the good old days and wanna visit you,
This song I'd like to listen to whenever reminisicin' you,
You, stay on my mind nevermind how I picture you,
Think about the past and all the time that I spent witchu,
Rubbin on that ass from behind as I dig in you,
Never been a doubt in my mind that I was diggin' you,
How I love you shorty, you'll never find another nigga to
Every now and then I think of you,
And I can't lie I be wantin' you,
But I understand that I'm not your man,
And I also know that the future's not in your hands
Every now and then I'd call you to say how you doin,
And baby I miss you,
Girl, this is just to say hello,
Hello Baby.
(Hello, hello..
by Michael Nesmith
The sun that's falling from the southwestern sky
Tells me that I must depart,
So, by sundown today, I'll be on my way,
But I'll be leaving my heart.
It's not the countryside that appealed to my eyes,
It's the spirit and it captured my mind,
But the things I tried to be made a wreck out of me,
Now a different road, I must find.
These things I think are new, I guess they're really old,
It seems I've done 'em once before
Now, to go back to that fork in the road,
Takes all the strength of my soul and more.
Oh, goodbye, goodbye you cruel town,
You've been a fair-weather friend,
Now I will go to some places that I know
Where things don't start just to end.
These things I think are new, I guess they're really old,
It seems that I've done 'em once before,
Now, to go back to that fork in the road,
Takes all the strength of my soul and more.
Oh, goodbye, good goodbye you cruel town,
You've been a fair-weather friend,
Now I will go to some place that I know
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
He's waited at bus stops all his life
He's been in and out of those spaces
Seein' eyes that spoke to him
From sad and gifted places, sad and gifted places
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
You know he's gonna be dressed to kill
He's gonna find some brand new thrills
Whatever he's been looking for
Tell him that there's so much more in Hollywood, Hollywood
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
Painted faces, sunburnt skin
Fixed expressions, smiles worn thin
Caught in the blink of neon of Hollywood
Bending battles, maneuvering schemes
False expressions, washed up dreams
Everybody makes believe in Hollywood, Hollywood
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
He's on his way, he's goin' to Hollywood
He's bussin' it to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's movin' to Hollywood
He's hoppin' it to Hollywood
Ich muß jetzt raus hier
Deutschland macht mich krank
ich hab 'ne Oma und ein
Sparbuch auf der Bank
ich hab noch Haare auf dem Kopf
es ist noch nicht zu spät
ich start' jetzt noch mal richtig durch
eh mir die Lust vergeht
Ich will nach Hollywood, ich will nach Hollywood
Ich will nach Hollywood, ich will nach Hollywood
Mein Vater hat mich früh verlassen
der stand nicht auf die Welt
meine Mutter sprach, beseelt von Fleiß:
"Achte auf dein Geld"
Und meine Freundin Gisela
die hätt' es gern geseh'n
daß ich nun endlich anfange
ihre Lage zu versteh'n
Ich will nach Hollywood, ich will nach Hollywood
Ich will nach Hollywood, ich will nach Hollywood
Ich werd' jetzt mein' Kadett verkaufen
und auch mein Video
ich pumpe die Verwandtschaft an
mein' Onkel sowieso
und dann schreib ich der Gisela:
Mit dir, da war es nett
ich laß' von mir ein Bild noch da
das häng' dir übers Bett
Ich will nach Hollywood, ich will nach Hollywood
Ich will nach Hollywood, ich will nach Hollywood
The year is 70' I'm due at the fifth,
I done did my nine months now my life take a shift,
In the freeworld now, you better raised me good,
But instead I blaze in the crazy hood,
I was three when my pops took a long vacation,
Now I'm solo facin the revlation,
Gotta bolo for a dope fiend to hit,
And I show no feeny if u want some shit,
I'm high as the sky, fishin for fry,
Be a G till the D-A-Y I die, oh my,
Y would u ever test this mex in a Lex just banging
Outta Tex, you know I'm gonna wreck this shit,
Along with any other bitch who disrespect my click,
Like a bit, I got the heart if a killa,
And them hoes come out like a three wheela,
Cuz I freaks my draulics, fuckin' hoes in college,
Bitches swingin' on my nuts it's so stylish, Model it,
Hold my dick like a 64', peace to all my baby's mamas,
But really though, I'm a damn fool,
And G's can vouch that, up in the ghetto puttin'
Cheese on a mouse trap, and one day I'm gonna rise,
And come up, till then I'm dealin' dope from sundown
To sunup.
Only Hillwood can deal with this
You best not test this mex in a Lex
As I crept through my hood it felt good,
All my homies have my back with a gat in Hillwood,
Hustlin' is the hobby, brothers if you will,
And all of those hoes really love is only Hill,
Be real if your blood runs deep in the hood,
All the punished shoulda woulda put a bunk in da wood,
All stood, all good, keep they fucking bank if I take
What you got, but my glock I degrate,
You hate the way G's comin up with a mic,
I write what u like, cuz it's my mothafucking life,
I never shife not to type, indeed I am,
But if they tryin to take my ends,
I be damn bam bam to that man in the pen,
Older boys too young to get stung,
Come with the holy boys,
Hold the noise I show boys to precise to
Fend from the skunk my blunt,
To be nice shoot dice hit killa,
Straight the mothafuckin eightball,
Pour a little for the ones who took that great fall,
Cuz I keeps all my dead homies in my heart,
They got a head start, and still we never part.
I remember December of 88', blue boys hit the cut was
To late to break, Had to swallow three stones tossed
My Chrome in the bushes, seven dirty pigs jackin' up
Three bushes, my homie got a case tryin' to race the
Van, got scooped and fixin' to face the man,
In the black gown with the wooden hammer,
Bamma, give my nigga seven in the slammer,
Damma, old mothafucka passin' time,
All my frends gone guess I'm last in line,
Betta find me a new way to hustle,
Six years in the game and I still feel the struggle,
Smuggle weed across the checkpoint,
Just another day on the job as I mob but the pigs oink,
Smoke a joint on the way to the valley,
Now I'm comin' back and they wanna search my Caddi,
It's a risk when you tryin to make that fast bank,
But them mutts can't smell past my gas tank,
So I catch 59 back to H-Town, arrive safely with my 38
Pounds, fresh from the border, may I take your order,
You just want them singled every five and a quarter.
They say people out in Hollywood
Live their life out in black and white
They're livin' out a Technicolor dream
Next day, they're a star overnight
Not like in New York
Man, it's tougher
Not like in London town
Boy, you suffer
Nobody give a break
When you're down on your luck
Everybody's on the take
When you're down on your luck
You can't make a mistake
When you're down on your luck
People out in Hollywood
They got a lot of class
You see the boys struttin' down the boulevard
Tryin' to make a pass'
Not like in New York
It's high rise, it's concrete and complex
Not like in ol' London town
It reigns down on its subjects
Nobody give a damn
When you're down on your luck
Nobody understands
When you're down on your luck
Lady Chance, she won't dance
When you're down on your luck
People out in Hollywood
They can make it to the stars
They can reach the screen
Drive around in big expensive convertible cars
Not like in New York
All you've got is Broadway
Not like in the West end of London
You can't make it no way
Nobody give a damn
When you're down on your luck
Nobody understands
When you're down on your luck
Lady Chance, she won't dance
When you're down on your luck
You've got to strut your stuff
When you're down on your luck
You can't take it easy, it ain't good enough
When you're down on your luck
Everybody's on the make
When you're down on your luck
Nobody give a fair deal
When you're down on your luck
Nobody understands my Uncle Sam
When you're down on your luck
I'm ready for the dance
When you're down on your luck
I gotta make a dollar holler
When you're down on your luck
Jesus was crucified
Moses parted the sea
I saw it on a movie
On the TV
The bible is a book
That started with Adam and Eve
Filled with mambo jumbo
Do you believe?
Holy wood, holy shit
David and Goliath
Man and morality
Wars in the Middle East
A taste of reality
Ishmael and Isaac
Brothers in hate
Prewritten history
Does it tell us our fate?
Holy wood, holy shit
Our father who art in heaven (spit)
Written like a screen play
With morality implied
A priest diddles a choir boy
Truth can be denied
Politics, religion
Still go hand in hand
Draw you own conclusion
Draw your line in the sand
Jesus was crucified
Moses parted the sea
I saw it on a movie
On the TV
Let's go away for a while
You and I
To a strange and distant land
Where they speak no word of truth
But we don't understand anyway
Holiday
Far away to stay
On a Holiday
Far away
Let's go today
In a heartbeat!
Don't bother to pack your bags
Or your map
We won't need them where we're goin'
We're goin' where the wind is blowin'
Not knowin' where we're gonna stay
We will write a postcard
To our friends and family
In free verse
On the road with Kerovac,
Sheltered in Bivovac,
On this road we'll never die...
Let's go away!
Well the super models in those magazines
They've been to places that I've never SEEN
Well they look so nice out on some sandy beach
But for me I've always found it out of reach
Ooooooooo take me on a holiday
Ooooooooo I need a holiday
The hotel AT LYFORD KEY would be alright
We could always catch an early mornin' flight
I'VE SEEN PICTURES OF IT in a movie scene
But its just another place I've never been
Ooooooooo take me on a holiday
Ooooooooo I need a holiday
I call you up on your telephone
And leave a message there since your not home
I've got to go I've got to get away
Please come and take me on a holiday
Ooooooooo take me on a holiday
Last nite I dreamed I was in Sante Fe
And then went on a flight to San Jose
Well I know that you don't really like to fly
But to see the world maybe you'd like to try
Ooooooooo take me on a holiday
Ooooooooo I need a holiday
Ooooooooo take me on a holiday
Need a holiday
Holiday
Holiday
Listen, I've got the sickest ambition.
Deep in the mirror I am scared,
Don't know who the hell is there.
Yeah, I'm losing my reflection.
Obsession
The thing it's our new religion.
Each model and celebrity
Changes how I look at me.
Oh, don't tell me, don't tell me
I'll never be
A superstar 'cause I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Hollywood, Hollywood
In Hollywood, In Hollywood
Women, let's talk about our condition.
How beauty's a commodity,
Women don't get the best things,
Battered liver though, with poison.
I am the bill.
In the world without me, this vision.
Sure Hollywood's commercially amorous
But naturally, me? Quite ugly as hell.
Tell me I'm not sixteen!
Like a superstar, yeah I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Hollywood, Hollywood
Hollywood, Hollywood
Within a year I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Like a superstar, yeah I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Within the year I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Like superstars, yeah I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
In Hollywood, Hollywood
Hollywood, HollywoodLike a superstar, yeah I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Within the year I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Like superstars, yeah I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
In Hollywood, Hollywood
Healed by Shirley Caesar
Album: He's Working It Out For You
CHORUS
I'm healed by the power of God
Healed by the power of God
Without a doubt the Lord will
bring you out
By His stripes I am healed
It's no secret what God can do
What He's done for others He can
do for you
When I call on that great name
He touched my body and I am no
longer the same
CHORUS
The enemy tried to take my eyesight
But I refuse to give up the fight
When I call on that great name
He touched my body and I am no
longer the same
CHORUS
Healed by the power, the power of
the Lord
Healed by the power, the power of
the Lord
I know you heard me in british rob
But I get you bracelets till ya wrist is throbbed
Just kissed the nob, and put your meat on my stick like a shish-ka-bob
Out mingalin', heard that I blingy-bling
But I run the circus like ring-a-ling
I'm the king of things, and your man he a homo like jing-a-ling
(jing-a-ling)
That's life, hit 'em with the pow-ping
Pow, pow, .45 load thing
Look wild thing, I do wild things, make China stretch like Yoa Ming
Ching chong like a higher Chow Main
I'm bilingual ma, I don't need a nickel, naw
Oh you tickled ma? 'cause your nipples huh
Commin' through your shirt, nearly ripped your bra
I see the hate in your eyes, damn them boys is too fly
The way we roll up, rims all swoll up, ice all froze up
And while you're actin' surprised, like we dough sellin' pies
They way we hold up, papi hole up, mami roll up
I know a school in work, but you need to schooled in work
Put my tool to work, I feelin' your shoes, your purse
You get low on dough, the few the first
I don't need you high like I'm high
But shit, I need you fly like I'm fly
Fresh, Lui Vuitton ankle
Pastel, Lui Vuitton rainbow
Threw on the Kango, threw on Durango's
Not from the 'nati, but through on the Bengals
Moved on an angle, like a baler malodor
The two gon' tango
Shake your body mami, move your body hottie
Its true on kamikaze, I'm movin' a mazarattie
They all polly polly, voo boy dolly dolly
I don't talk like the swolly mami
I see the hate in your eyes, damn them boys is too fly
The way we roll up, rims all swoll up, ice all froze up
And while you're actin' surprised, like we dough sellin' pies
They way we hold up, papi hole up, mami roll up
Lady, dry your panties
Damn, she wanna right her family
Tell em Nad, I'm a dyper dandy
And I got all type of candy
Whats that? Victoria Secret
Here's Lapearla, come peep it
This lingerie that you could honor A
Wonder woman, ouuiii, go on play
Like Cam' watch, like Cam' ring
Like Cam' chain, like Cam' bling
Heard Cam' sing, if a damn fling
Goddamn mam', not a damn thing
I see the hate in your eyes, damn them boys is too fly
The way we roll up, rims all swoll up, ice all froze up
And while you're actin' surprised, like we dough sellin' pies

I followed it half way around the world
It€™s obnoxious and absurd
I dedicate myself too late
To all the people who have heard
The sound of the living gospel
The promise of the living word
That a fool like me can refuse to believe
And to get what I deserve
Take it on
Take it on
Arms and elbows
Made to hold close
Legs that follow
Head that€™s hollow
All that you know
Is love must grow
Or you will lose
Or you will lose
The hardest lesson that you learn
Elimination of concern
I realise the compromise
It€™s the flicker not the burn
It€™s easy living life on the outside
To never have to wait for your turn
But even a fool like me can refuse to believe
And still get what I deserve
For the first time in my life
I let myself be held
Like a big old baby
I surrender to your charity
I lay back in the tall grass
And let the ants cover me
I let the jets fly, I'm wishing for their destruction
Born to black in a perfect blue sky
For the first time in my life
I am moving away, moving away, moving away
From within the reach of me
As time was ticking we were winning
And it all was going as planned
Politicians stand between the lines
Of making headlines, street signs
Saying, you're going the wrong way, fading faster now
You can try to break us and make us fall apart
But the fire's in our hearts
Reminisce on memories 'cause we're gone
And don't forget to hold back your thoughts
And live like robots 'cause we all know what goes on
Reminisce on memories 'cause we're gone, we're gone, so gone
Fallen soldiers, all around us
But we're still standing strong
Embarrassing and contradicting
'Cause now we're making headlines, prime time
Saying, what a story, Billboards, packed tours, don't forget
You can try to break us and make us fall apart
But the fire's in our hearts
Reminisce on memories 'cause we're gone
And don't forget to hold back your thoughts
And live like robots 'cause we all know what goes on
Reminisce on memories 'cause we're gone, we're gone, so gone
And game over, you're done, ooh
Out of left field, we won
And pack our bags, yeah, we'll run
Hollywood, here we come
You can try to break us and make us fall apart
But the fire's in our hearts
Reminisce on memories 'cause we're gone
And don't forget to hold back your thoughts
And live like robots 'cause we all know what goes on
Reminisce on memories 'cause we're gone, we're gone
You can try to break us and make us fall apart
But the fire's in our hearts
Reminisce on memories 'cause we're gone
Oh well, you've got me under your spell
and I don't think that I'm kidding around.
I don't think I can forget you now.
I once sat up on my roof and examined the planning of my town.
I saw the structured grid and pavement cutting through grass
and I remembered the cold of winter running up the legs of my pants.
I picked the nicest lawn and imagined the two of us
rolling around down along the ground.
I saw myself touch your face and I noticed jets begin to race above our heads.
But I pinched my arm and remembered how much you hate me.
I remembered the fact that I can't see what you need
and I'm too stupid to be aware of the beauty that you give this place
and how shitty this town would seem without you in it.
When you aren't around I let the shades fall down to shut out
all the sun's light and make myself feel all right.
What am I doing with my life?
Remember that the only things we need sometimes
Was für eine wilde Zeit
Alles ist im Fluss
Müde wird, wer immer aufwärts schwimmen muss
Was er mit sich reißt
Wird verloren sein
Und wen er verschont, bleibt abseits wie ein Stein
Gib mir Hoffnung und gib mir Halt
Big dem alten Traum Gestalt
Jede Jahreszeit ist kalt
Ohne dich komm gib mir Halt
Farbenblinder Wahn
Fäuste statt Verstand
Die ergreifen keine ausgestreckte Hand
Kettenreaktion
Frei zu sein ist schwer
Gute Worte gibt
I've got a picture in my head
In my head
It's me and you we are in bed
We are in bed
You've always been there when I called
When I called
You've always been there most of all, all, all, all
(chorus)
This is not Hollywood
Like I understood
Is not Hollywood
Like, like, like
Get away, get away,
Is there anybody there
Get away, get away,
Is there anybody there
get away, get away, get away, away....
I've got a picture in my room
In my room
I will return there I presume
It will be soon
The greatest irony of all
Should do all
It's not so glamourous at all, all, all
(repeat chorus)
Raised from the glowing ashes of cauldron iron
The Phoenix arose from the sanctum of metal
Emerging into the light
So many hard times
So many bad lies
A man of steel
You know I'm real
Ev'rything I do
I'm taking all control - it's my heart
You know it's how I feel
So stick it in your mind - now you're mine
Time - it's time I'm taking over
And crank it up in overdrive
I'll tell you why
You know I'm holy
So fucking holy - raise your hands
You know I'm holy
So fucking holy - pain and pride
So many places
So many aces
I made a curse
I gave you birth
Ah - glorious metal times
The master of our lives - never died
A special kind of force
Together no remorse - you'll be mine
Burning on overload
Legends won't die
No cross - no burdens to control
No asking why
The master never dies
[Bonus Track]
I'm living in the hills
My accountant pay my bills
I got a Mercedes-Benz
I hope this life never ends
And something's always happening when I show up
Man he drops a line about some bump uptown
For a disco diamond dog he met at the pound
The way she stood, I knew he would
His money is good
In Hollywood
I'm living with my man
No marriage in the plan
But like Mercedes Ruehl
He's gonna find I'm a jewel
And my boyfriend says he wants to break up
So I brought my pills and my makeup ground
Just in case I stay over or sleep on the town
The way she stood, I knew he would
The head is good
In Hollywood
And every goddamn things serves to remind me
That I'm alive but someday they're gonna find me
On the ground
I'm living on the street
I've got blisters on my feet
Could you spare some change for some food?
You ain't got to be so rude
And I've got no family to speak of
But I've got some cardboard and a tea cup
Found it in the garbage
You kick me, tell me to move up and down
The avenue, but I like the view
The sun is so good
In Hollywood
Spare a minute and listen to my story
There's fame, fortune and of course there is sex and glory
Bound for the big time houses, the rich side of town
The way he stood, I knew he would
The sun is so good
In Hollywood
All American boy with big dreams of glamour life
Bright lights and boogie nights
The hype is everything could be yours if the price is right
grab your nothing and hold it tight
The first chance you get your heading out to the west
this decision is one you won't regret
move to the place where everybody knokws ya :
Like Hollywood, los angeles, california
So you wanna be a superstar
welcome to hollywood
quick money, fly women, fast cars
welcome to hollywood
So you wanna be a superstar
welcome to hollywood
High times, big dreams, living large
welcome to hollywood
One way ticket, then youll live this
life of a superstar caught up in this business
god as my witness, you will never change
only been here a day, already in the game
You changed your name; you dont even look the same
Now youre on top of the world, money, power, and fame
Picture perfect, just like you planned
No longer him cause, you da man
You'll never get the best of me
The time ticks away, you've had your play
Sold your soul for the roll, now you gots to pay
Forfeit integrity, overnight celebrity
Settle for selfish gain rather than dignity
Another sucka, why did you trust a playa like me fool, eternal hustla
