Black Man in Hollywood Lyrics
[00:06.96]La-la-la-la-la
[00:21.10]How low are these glass ceilings? And could I gain
[00:23.98]Whatever before has never been attained due to this game
[00:26.69]In these invisible chains on me?
[00:28.62]How can I reign with these reins on me?
[00:30.68]Walked out the house today, it rained on me
[00:32.71]Left my umbrella, life is just like the weather
[00:35.15]Highs and lows, before yes, a thousand no's
[00:38.15]Got an audition, running late again
[00:40.86]Can't make the rent, time to get paid again
[00:42.87]Weaving through traffic on the 405, it's Sunset
[00:45.88]With dreams to be immortalized, before the sunset
[00:48.45]Got a message for my latest ho, "You're done yet?"
[00:51.08]I told her, "No" two hours later though, "You cum yet?"
[00:53.98]Grab my jeans, it seems, being far from my dreams
[00:56.68]Is temporarily forgotten when she screams, I exit scene
[00:59.93]Stare at the clock and know I'm runnin' out of time
[01:02.14]Gettin' high and memorizin' lines
[01:04.18]Just a black man in Hollywood
[01:05.87](My nigga, don't look up, my nigga)
[01:08.12](My nigga, don't look up)
[01:09.78]I'm just a black man in Hollywood
[01:11.43](My nigga, don't look up, my nigga)
[01:14.06](My nigga, don't look up)
[01:14.80]No love for the black man in Hollywood
[01:16.78](My nigga, don't look up, my nigga)
[01:19.43](My nigga, don't look up)
[01:20.77]I'm just a black man in Hollywood
[01:22.37](My nigga, don't look up, my nigga)
[01:23.92]No love, no love (My nigga, don't look up)
[01:26.79]Back home, my niggas thuggin', Lil Ro' just got parole
[01:29.33]I'ma send him somethin', meanwhile I can't get a role
[01:32.02]'Less a nigga thuggin', selling dope or pimpin' hoes
[01:34.77]And the rent is comin', ay, but my pockets gettin' low
[01:37.42]And I'm sick of runnin', I need somethin' for my soul
[01:40.23]Is it in a woman? I been fuckin' all these hoes
[01:43.04]If I had a woman, plus some wings that I could grow
[01:45.73]I would grab my woman, spread my wings and I would go
[01:48.59]So far away, so far away
[01:53.10]We'd play whoever we want, yeah
[01:56.10]We'd play whoever we want, yeah
[01:59.37]So far away, so far away
[02:04.17]We'd play whoever we want
[02:06.84]We'd play whoever we want, yeah
[02:09.64]I'm just a black man in Hollywood
[02:11.24](My nigga, don't look up, my nigga)
[02:13.92](My nigga, don't look up)
[02:14.58]No love for the black man in Hollywood
[02:16.49](My nigga, don't look up, my nigga)
[02:19.21](My nigga, don't look up)
[02:20.35]I'm just a black man in Hollywood
[02:22.21](My nigga, don't look up, my nigga)
[02:24.78](My nigga, don't look up)
[02:26.07]I'm just a black man in Hollywood
[02:27.67](My nigga, don't look up, my nigga)
[02:30.07](My nigga, don't look up)
[02:32.24]
