[Intro]
Ight. You know what? That glitter is not gold so watch where you, where you go, ight? Yeah, try and keep your soul, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh
[Verse 1]
Slow time goes past in no time
You're dead before you know it so take this Kodak moment
And keep it you own it, just look back on it
Don't take it for granted, this photo is your life optic
Your memory, you can't photo-shop it
So don't try to crop it
Adjust the colors and background swap it
This is YOU, one body, unique person
But you keep searching to find a different version
You'd give your looks to the hand of a surgeon
Stuck under the weather rain drops
Cuz today society got you brain washed
Feed you this visual drug till your brain rots
Has your soul burning inside like plain scotch
This is Hollywood, you gotta look good
Fake tits, fix your nose, now lift up your butt
Gotta lose that fat, now tuck in your gut
There you go, there you go
[Hook]
You need to change your face, your name
This is Hollywood, nobody's good
Sell your soul for Hollywood
You need to change your face, your name
This is Hollywood, nobody's good
Sell your soul for Hollywood
[Verse 2]
Yeah, he wants to be a rapper, slash actor, entertainment
There's a lit up flame inside him, engraved in
His dreams to make it, no matter the road he'll take it
He looks up to the greatest and prays that
One day he'll be famous
Bigger then big, gigantic, enormous, amazing
Nobody wants it as bad he does
Walked miles in his Adidas to get a bee buzz
Thinks he's ahead of the game, nobody can keep up
He believes it, he breathes it
He's so conceited but doesn't show it, he's knows that
He's got skill, he lives for the moment, he signs a deal
To be in the light, he'll do anything
And they tell him: you gotta change everything
[Hook]
You need to change your face, your name
This is Hollywood, nobody's good
Sell your soul for Hollywood
You need to change your face, your name
This is Hollywood, nobody's good
Sell your soul for Hollywood
[Verse 3]
A girl from from a small town with big dreams
Tells her fam she's gonna be on the big screen
She wants to grow up quick, she's only sixteen
She wrote a letter tonight saying she's gone for good
She took the next train all the way to Hollywood
And she's a step closer to being a super star
In the newest car driving down the boulevard
She don't know what's ahead, there's no clear view
Lights flash, paparazzi on her rear view
Her movie coming to a theater near you
She wakes up from a dream of stardom
In a trashed one bedroom apartment
She gets up to go to work, she works at a strip-club
And she'll make extra money if you want your freaking dick sucked
Yeah, she's 29 now, she's in Nip/Tuck
And I don't mean the show, she gotta lift up
And she still hasn't been picked up, shit sucks, its tough
Gotta look up and pray, cuz today
You just sold your soul, you sold your soul
You sold your soul
[Hook]
You need to change your face, your name
This is Hollywood, nobody's good
Sell your soul for Hollywood
You need to change your face, your name
This is Hollywood, nobody's good
Sell your soul for Hollywood
