Hollywood

[Intro]
Mmm
1Hunnit
Showgod is a bastard
Huh

[Verse]
All we know is live crooked until our paper straightened
Try to turn your small business into a corporation
For my loved ones, I'ma try to fix communication
Now I see that family matters, Joe and [?]
Went separate ways and still met up at our destination
Became a menace to society for Mustang and datings
Wasn't tryna make it out the hood, we had complications
I put my faith in the dope and then my soul awakened
Couldn't understand the contracts, I lacked education
Was tryna rap and sell drugs, a bad combination
The trap house, the studio, the same correlation
You sit in here and do the work, you get the compensation
You wanna build a skyscraper, you need a good foundation
The plug said he believed in me, but wouldn't make donations
You start frontin' everybody, that's how you face damnation
You drop a ticket for a nigga, he blame it on inflation
When it all falls down, you face liquidation
Nigga knew this shit would come, that's the whole frustration
Maybe this the best time to make a transformation
They try to put you in a box, use your imagination
You was a square, now you a star, that's pure inspiration
God blessed you with enough to feed the congregation
You wanna be like David Ruffin, you gotta fight temptations
You think you need a bunch of friends, you need isolation
Rotel and Kool-Aid, I'm just a ghetto baby
Some niggas make it to the 'burbs, forget the ghetto saved her
I ain't actin' Hollywood, I know the ghetto made me
Get rich there and die there, shit, the ghetto crazy
Cast iron full of flour, this ain't onion gravy
Uncle cook dope from scratch, a product of the eighties
They tried to give him three months for stealin' out the Macys
He shanked a nigga, on his court date, they gave him eighty
Already had two strikes and he was on probation
They try to make you an example for a demonstration
Make you a number, then strip your whole reputation
That's how they turn you a monster, I seen the whole mutation
