It ain't for everybody
Welcome to Hollywood, baby
Take a picture
Comin' with?
Let's not even talk about it
Let's do it
Let's go
Uh-huh
I see your jealousy as you watching (I see you watchin' me, baby)
You watching (It's all good)
It's kinda sexy to me (I love it) how you watching (Uh-huh)
You watching (C'mon)
I see your face (I see your face)
You wanna touch it (You wanna touch it)
Come to my place (Come to the crib)
And let's discuss it (Let's chop it up)
Tonight you'll be (Tonight you gon' be a superstar, baby)
A superstar, come let me sign you up (Let's get into it)
Ooh, it's the lights (You blinded by the)
Action (You need that)
Hollywood (Ah, ah, ah, ah, c'mon)
Ooh, it's the lights (You blinded by the)
The satisfaction (You need that)
Hollywood (Ah, ah, ah, ah, c'mon)
Paparazzi spots me 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 faint of heart
It'll change those who said 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
Rappin', stackin', platinum plaque and
Born in Brooklyn, got a place in Manhattan
Going back to Brooklyn to escape the madness
Where your friends is Chris and Gwyneth
And your girl is more famous than you, Venice
It's time to get all your windows tinted
Keep your eyes squinted, it's gon' flash any minute
The music biz is like musical chairs
It's about where you standing when the music stops spinning and the
Ooh, it's the lights (You blinded by the)
Action (You need that)
Hollywood (Ah, ah, ah, ah, c'mon)
Ooh, it's the lights (You blinded by the)
The satisfaction (You need that)
Hollywood (Ah, ah, ah, ah, c'mon)
You about to get it? (Woo, woo, uh-huh, woo)
Do you want it? (Uh-huh, ho, ho, woo, uh-huh, yeah)
Do you need it?
Do you, do you?
(Now that you got what you wanted)
Do you, do you, do you want it?
Hey mister, pay six-a, A-lister
You're in the midst of the ride of your life
But you gotta keep them hits up
Can't put your guard down, gotta keep your mitts up
Take a sip, sir, it's so intoxicating, ain't it?
Try not to get jaded, Hollywood's been good to you
Startin' to feel like buzz to you, don't lie, gon' fly
You addicted to the lights, without the fame, how you gon' survive?
It's like living on heroin, so high
And everybody's warning you about it (I tried to told you)
And once you taste it, you can't live without it (It's addictive)
Not 'cause you choose to not live without
It (You sure you want this, baby?)
It's now a part of you (It's a part of you)
And everybody's warning you about it (See the games, uh-huh)
And once you taste it, you can't live
Ooh, it's the lights (You blinded by the)
Action (You need that)
Hollywood (Ah, ah, ah, ah, c'mon)
Ooh, it's the lights (You blinded by the)
The satisfaction (You need that)
Hollywood (Ah, ah, ah, ah, c'mon)
Wanna be seen, Mel, Fruities
Now you become what you once despised
James Dean, John Belushi
Blow your whole life tryna live in the lights
Heroines following Marilyn
Hoppin' over the edge just like Janis Joplin
River Phoenix, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Morrison
All of them ended by Hollywood
Thank God for Hollywood
Hollywood
You sure you want this, baby?
Hollywood
It's the most addicted drug in the world
Want the fame, you want the lights
You really want it
