[Intro: Jamie Principle]
Where the beautiful people at?
I said where the beautiful people at?
Beautiful people, clap your hands (yeah)
Freaky people, clap your hands
Geeky people, clap your hands
Everybody, clap your hands
[Chorus: 2-D & Jamie Principle]
Hollywood is alright
Hollywood is vagrant
Jealousy is in gunfire
It makes you kill the vibe
(She's a wonderful thing)
Jealousy and dark times
Sinking on the web
There’s more to love than that
Jealousy is vibe down
Jealousy is vibe down
[Verse 1: Jamie Principle]
(Hahaha, yeah)
I'ma go walk
All the way to the hills
But you never know what's real
So you have to be prepared
You have to be ready
You have to be ready
'Cause she can be a bitch
And it's a wonderful thing
Hollywood (Hollywood)
She's so seductive
She's got me looking for that dream
I bow down
She knows how to do it
Exactly the way I like it
[Chorus: 2-D & Jamie Principle]
Hollywood is alright
Hollywood is vagrant
Jealousy is in gunfire
It makes you kill the vibe
(She's a wonderful thing)
Jealousy and dark times
Sinking on the web
There’s more to love than that
Jealousy is vibe down
Jealousy is vibe down
[Verse 2: Snoop Dogg]
Man I came through with that big fat chain on my neck
Little did they know, no sweat
So I dimmed out, rimmed out and cracked the glass
Twenty-five pounds, can you match that bag?
'Cause if you not, raise up
I got a deal to make
And a couple bad bitches
I've been achin' to break
Wakin' and bake
I put the cake on the plate
Jealousy and me? Oh, we're making a date
I'ma vibe with this, Hollywood, nigga I'ma survive this shit
I do that, did that, blow your fuckin' wig back
Forreal-a, gorilla, who loves goin' bareback
They wanna eye me down, tie me down, knock me off
But I'm a lion in the dogg pound
Now, how that sound?
[Chorus: 2-D & Jamie Principle]
Hollywood is alright
Hollywood is vagrant
Jealousy is in gunfire
It makes you kill the vibe
(She's a wonderful thing)
Jealousy and dark times
Sinking on the web
There’s more to love than that
Jealousy is vibe down
Jealousy is vibe down
[Verse 3: Jamie Principle]
You're just what I need
(And it's a wonderful thing)
In this city of dreams
(And it's a wonderful thing)
You know how to ride me
(And it's a wonderful thing)
You know how to excite me
(And it's a wonderful thing)
[Outro: Jamie Principle]
She's a wonderful thing
She's a wonderful thing
