[Chorus]
|
Sayin' goodbye, sayin' goodbye to Hollywood
|
Sayin' goodbye, sayin' goodbye to Hollywood
|
Sayin' goodbye, sayin' goodbye to Hollywood
|
Sayin' goodbye, sayin' goodbye to Hollywood
|
{Hollywood}, sayin' goodbye, sayin' goodbye to Hollywood
|
{Why do I feel this way}, sayin' goodbye, sayin' goodbye to Hollywood
|
Sayin' goodbye, sayin' goodbye to Hollywood
|
Sayin' goodbye, sayin' goodbye to Hollywood
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
I thought I had it all figured out, I did
|
I thought I was tough enough to stick it out with Kim
|
But I wasn't tough enough to juggle two things at once
|
I found myself layin' on my knees in cuffs
|
Which should've been a reason enough, for me to get my stuff and just leave
|
How come I couldn't see this shit myself, it's just me
|
Nobody couldn't see the shit I felt
|
Knowin' damn well she wasn't gonna be there when I fell, to catch me
|
The minute shit was heated she just bailed
|
i'm standin' here swingin' on like thirty people by myself
|
I couldn't even see the millimetere when it fell
|
Turned around saw Gary stashin' the heater in his belt
|
Saw the bouncers rush him and beat him to the ground
|
I just sold two million records, I don't need to go to jail
|
I'm not about to lose my freedom over no female
|
I need to slow down
|
Try to get my feet on solid ground, so for now i'm...
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Bury my face in comic books, cause I don't want to look
|
At nothin', this world's too much
|
I've swallowed all I could
|
If I could swallow a bottle of tylenol I would, and end it for good
|
Just say goodbye to Hollywood
|
I probably should, these problems are piling all at once
|
Cause everything that bothers me, I got it bottled up
|
I think i'm bottomin' out
|
But i'm not about to give up, I gotta get up
|
Thank God, I got a little girl
|
And I'm a responsible father
|
So not a lot of good, i'd be to my daughter layin' in the bottom of the mud
|
Must be in my blood cause I don't know how I do it
|
All I know is I don't want to follow in the footsteps of my dad
|
Cause I hate him so bad
|
The worst fear that I had was growin' up to be like his fuckin' ass, man
|
If you could understand why I am the way that I am
|
What do I say to my fans, when I tell 'em i'm...
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
I don't wanna quit, but shit, I feel like this is it
|
For me to have this much appeal like this is sick
|
This is not a game, this fame, in real life this is sick
|
Publicity stunt my ass, conceal my fuckin' dick
|
Fuck the guns, i'm done, i'll never look at gats
|
If I scrap, i'll scrap like I ain't never whooped some ass
|
I love my fans
|
But no one ever puts a grasp on the fact i've sacrificed everything I have
|
I never dreamt i'd get to the level that i'm at, this is whack
|
This is more than I ever could of asked
|
everywhere I go, a hat, a sweater hood, or mask
|
What about math, how come I wasn't ever good at that
|
It's like the boy in the bubble, who never could adapt, i'm trapped
|
If I could go back, I never woulda rapped
|
I sold my soul to the devil, i'll never get it back
|
I just wanna leave this game with level head intact
|
Imagine goin' from bein' a no one to seein',
|
everything blow up and all you did was just grow
|
up emceeing
|
It's fuckin' crazy
|
Cause all I wanted was to give Hailie the life I never had
|
But instead I forced us to live alienated, so i'm sayin'...
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
[Outro]
|
Goodbye, goodbye Hollywood, {Goodbye},
|
please don't cry for me, when i'm gone for good, {this shit is not for me},
|
so goodbye, goodbye Hollywood,
|
{i'm not a fuckin' star}, please don't cry
|
for me, when I'm gone for good, {i'm goin' back home}...
|
