Bomb Squad - Burn Hollywood Burn lyrics

[Chuck D] Burn Hollywood burn I smell a riot Goin' on -- first they're guilty, now they're gone Yeah I'll check out a movie But it'll take a Black one to move me Get me the hell away from this T.V All this news and views are beneath me So all I hear about is shots ringing out About gangs putting each other's head out So I rather kick some slang out All right fellas let's go hang out Hollywood or would they not Make us all look bad like I know they had But some things I'll never forget, yeah So step and fetch this sh** For all the years we looked like clowns The joke is over -- smell the smoke from all around Burn Hollywood burn [Ice Cube] Ice Cube is down with the P.E Now every single b**h wanna see me Big Daddy is smooth, word to mother Let's check out a flick that exploits the color Roaming through Hollywood late at night Red and blue lights what a common sight Pulled to the curb, getting played like a s**er Don't fight the power...(gunshot)..the mother f**er [Big Daddy Kane] As I walk the streets of Hollywood Boulevard Thinking how hard it was to those that starred In the movies portraying the roles Of butlers and maids, slaves and hoes Many intelligent Black men seemed to look uncivilized When on the screen Like, I guess I figure you to play some jigaboo On the plantation, what else can a n***a do And Black women in this profession As for playing a lawyer, out of the question For what they play Aunt Jemima is the perfect term Even if now she got a perm So let's make our own movies like Spike Lee Cause the roles being offered don't strike me As nothing that the black man could use to earn Burn Hollywood burn "Now we're considering you for a part in our new production. How do you feel about playing a controversial negro?" "Yeah, I'm wid it. You mean somebody like Huey P. Newton or H. Rap Brown, right?" "Well, it's a servant character that chuckles a little bit, and sings." "Yo, man, what?? That's bullsh**." "Hey Cube, Kane, Flav, listen. I hope I ain't wastin' my time. You know how I feel about givin' these movies my money, know what I'm sayin'?" "Yo, man, it's gonna be dope, man." "Chill, man." "Hey, I'm chill chill, but you know what I'm sayin', I just don't wanna, I can't go for this Steel Magnolia sh**, know what I'm sayin'?" "Come on, man, it's cool Ladies and gentlemen, today's feature presentation: Driving Miss Daisy "No, no, no." "Bullsh**, just what I'm talkin' about, all this Terms of Endearment sh**. I'm outta here, man, it's bullsh**." "Yo, check it out, man I got Black Caesar at the crib, man, y'all want to go check that out?" "That's the idea. We could have rolled with that from the get-go!" "f** Hollywood, man."
