HOLLYWOOD

[Intro]
Hollywood Hills is the place that you wanna live in
That you wanna die in
Hollywood Hills is the place that you wanna live in
That you wanna die in
Yea

[Verse 1]
They say “Boy, what’s wrong with you?”
“I think you lost your way”
“We ain’t seen you crack a smile since the month of May”
And all the while, through your trails you still find a way to see
The life
In different types of way the people couldn’t see
Tried to overcast my sun, and now you raining on me
So it seems, that enlightenment was never for me
I tried to brush it off my shoulders like “I’m doin’ fine”
The sad truth? I’m really hopin’ that you read between the linеs
Far from fine, but I manage like I own this bitch
Lifе’s a clucka but make sure you get your own for this
The dopest kicks, is screamin’ out vibrato
The promises were hollow
The music biz gon’ swallow
You whole but
Aye

[Refrain]
I said you—
I said you can’t keep runnin’ away
Aye, aye
(Can’t keep runnin’ away)
I said you can’t keep runnin’ away

[Hook]
Hollywood Hills is the place that you wanna live in
That you wanna die in
Yea

[Verse 2]
I gave you prophecy on my first joint
And y’all all lamed out
Didn’t really appreciate it
Till the second one came out
So I flushed the game out
They took the plain route
They see me on top
Droppin’ albums nonstop for you niggas
I know
It’s gettin’ harder sittin’ watchin’ me grow
A new flow
Has been unlocked, It’s like I’m one of the pros
And i go
So ballistic
Someone past me the scope
A tight rope, but niggas runnin’ till we run outta hope
They sayin’ Hollywood for winners, this is where it’s at
The type of place you give your soul and never take it back
That type of shit will leave you ruined boy, it’s been a trap
To attract
Young and dumb
But mentally, overcome cuz we not one of the ones
Succumbing to all the slums
We just lookin for a motherfuckin’ way out
Ain’t you heard my last album? I ain’t known a safe route
You tried to play round you mothafucka’s endin’ face down
Uh
But back to topic, it’s alot to cover
Don’t let them labels trick you out your deal or try to smother
Please don’t ever sacrifice your art and let the music suffer
They don’t love you, they just plottin’ on you crashin
For the come up
I know
It’s gettin’ harder to feel
You got your heart wit’ a shield
You can’t acknowledge what’s real
You played your part til the end
You can’t deposit yo friends
You feel the darkness within
You feel the darkness within
And I know

[Refrain]
Can’t keep—
I said you can’t keep—
I said you can't keep runnin’ away
Aye, aye
Cuz ya can’t keep
I said ya can’t keep runnin’ away
Aye, aye, aye
Said ya can’t keep runnin away
Aye, aye
I said ya—
I said ya can’t keep runnin’ away

[Hook]
Hollywood Hills is the place that you wanna live in
That you wanna die in
Yea

[Outro]
You're my fuckin' problem!
People sweat us in the street, and you don't even
Give a fuck

*I think you’re exaggeratin'*
That's bullshit, man!
We run from the cops, we run from Radames
We run from security guards, we run from Old Man Quiles
And his bullshit store when he come with that bullshit gun
All we do is fuckin' run!
I feel like I'm on the god damn track team
I'm serious!
What's the matter, Raheem?
Nothin' to say?
That's 'cause you know I'm right
In your heart, you know I'm right
