I'm rollin' outside of two pesos, pounding my jeep Two in the morning, but it's all with this Houston heat Ain't nothin' on my mind but signs of sleep Go to the beach, i'm hoping i can catch a summer breeze I'm watching how the waves flow low Caught in the thought and amazed that the grades go driftin' Memories of what it was and what it could have been And when the tragedy begins Tomica, thought that she had what it took to be a superstar Friends in high places, brains and a look A small town perception of a lifestyle Bus pass straight to hell, and a friendly smile Unaware that her friends were her enemies Said they were producers, but now they work at micky dee's So now she's living at the same damn bus stop She fell prey to the hollywood paradox
If daddy only knew what his little girl was goin through Living on the brink, tempted by the pimps 'Cause life is a bitch when your paying dues In hollywood it ain't who you know, it's who you do It's the place where the houchies and the groupies roam And front with their disconnected car phones Hoping that their boots get knocked, by a big shot In the hollywood paradox I see 'em comin' and i see 'em goin' I dictate my observations and the rhymes keep flowin' For everyone that comes up another one drops In the hollywood paradox
What it is? i shout to the brothers on the avenue Celebraties can't relate, they stand me down like a statue But i ain't one to front on my own kind Hollywood ain't nothin' to me, but a motherfuckin sign Movie stars, hot rods, suits and ties I'm face to face with the truth and it shouldn't die I see my brothers riding harleys up and down the strip Living like an oreo, riding on the white man's dick Dreamin' for a role as a proud black actor He over looks one factor He's livin' hollywood, that means he's acting now And if he's asked to be real, will he know how? To be the black role model and the public figure 'Cause if not they'll be callin' you a dumb black nigga A punk with no funk who went pop And got dropped by the hollywood paradoxTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
