“Welcome to Hollywood” deals with the vices of fame. This track is an alternative version of the song “Hollywood”, released in 2006, also by JAY-Z and Beyoncé. In that version, Jay raps on three verses, whereas in this song, Beyoncé sings three different verses with a similar chorus.
[Intro: JAY-Z & Beyoncé]
It ain't for everybody (Uh)

You watchin'
[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé & JAY-Z]
I see your face (I see your face)
You wanna touch it (You wanna touch it)
Come to my place (Come to my place)
And let's discuss this (Let's chop it up)
Tonight you'll be a superstar
Come let me sign you up (Let's get into it)
[Chorus: Beyoncé & JAY-Z]
Ooh, it's the lights
You're blinded by the action
You need that Hollywood (Uh, uh, uh, uh, come on)
Ooh, it's the lights
You're blinded by the satisfaction
You need that Hollywood (Uh, uh, uh, uh, come on)
[Verse 2: Beyoncé]
You gots to get it (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Until you do (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Until you do, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
I see your face (I see your face)
You wanna touch it (You wanna touch it)
Come to my place (Come to my place)

Tonight you'll be (Oh) a superstar (Oh)

You hear it screamin' (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
The camera's rollin' (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
You so addictin' (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Nothing like Hollywood, yeah (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
And everybody's warnin' you about it (No)
And once you taste it, you can't live without it (No, no, no, no, no)
Not 'cause you choose to not live without it (Oh)
It's now a part of you (It's now a part of you)
And everybody's warnin' you about it (Yeah)
And once you taste it, you can't live

Ooh, it's the lights (It's the lights)
You're blinded by the action (Action)
She needs that Hollywood (Hollywood)
Ooh, it's the lights (Satisfaction)
You're blinded by the satisfaction (So addictive)
You need that Hollywood (Hey, Hollywood)
[Bridge: Beyoncé]
Now you wanna be seen, male groupies
Now you've become what you once despised
James Dean, John Belushi
Blow your whole life tryna live in the lights
Heroins followin', Marilyn hoppin' (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Over the edges like Janis Joplin
River Phoenix, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Morrison (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
All of them ended by Hollywood
[Outro: Beyoncé]
I see your face and, uh (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
You wanna touch it, yeah
Come to my place and we (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
We can discuss it
Hollywood, welcome to Hollywood
