Remember when we were kids/saying things that were did/ By me and you but too ashamed to admit that th-th-they were fibs/ Sippin' on Mr. Pibb/playing with neighbors kids/ And I front to fall asleep/so I could chill at your crib/ House parties like play and kid/listening to Gangster Nip/ Tripping off Ghetto Boys/how they mind kept playing tricks/ Hide and seek with my sisters friends/Tonight like DJ Quick/ Natural born sinners slowly loosing our innocence/ This was all just the start of it/like working with a starter kit/ I went from bad to worse when I saw Cube put on that Starter fit/ Pressure started marching in/cause all my friends were part it/ It seduced me even more/like a girl who plays hard to get/ "Cool" gave my heart a kiss/told me, give my all to this/ Did it all/so I felt obligated to be part of this/ Anything to garner this/stardom that was hard to miss/ Fartherless, so Hollywood guided, through the dark abyss/ Stepped in the cineplex/just pa**ed the Cinnabon fin to see what's playing next (yes) HOLLYWOOD (HEY) I got my bu*ter and my popcorn My crew is with me and we feeling like it's not wrong HOLLYWOOD Like it's so cool to watch upcoming attractions, blinded by the distractions Don't be so complacent With cheap imitations Need godly inspiration so we can't replace it, with HOLLYWOOD Remember when we were kids Saying things that were did By me and you but too ashamed to admit that th-th-they were fibs Hooping up at the gym Lust had us chasing Kim Acting hard but riding clean bumping that BoysIIMen Watching the latest films Quote it and take it in Lustful flesh Had us actin gangsta like Doughboy did Lived like them Boys in the hood but stayed trill Out the Tre, so you can say I'm Furious Styles kid My Love Jones was shai But my Justice was Poetic All I needed was the Juice Ad then my Blues would be Mo' Better I would listen to the Preacher's Wife But I'd go back like Boomerang My set would Set It Off and we'd be right back in that New Jack swang Pride of Life had me like O-Dog and Higher Learning guided me Momma said Lean On Me But I'm a Menace to Society All that "drama" mixed with sinning, the women with them in linen Seem to spark a cycle unrivaled and never ending (ending) Stepped in the cineplex Just pa**ed the Cinnabon fin to see what's playing next (yes) HOLLYWOOD (HEY) I got my bu*ter and my popcorn My crew is with me and we feeling like it's not wrong HOLLYWOOD Like it's so cool to watch upcoming attractions, blinded by the distractions Don't be so complacent With cheap imitations Need godly inspiration so we can't replace it, with HOLLYWOOD I been learning from this teacher, since I was in the nursery A victim of its preaching cause she said she'd give the world to me At least that's what I thought I heard Hollywood was celebrated She could easily mess up the lines of real and imitation And like Adam, we ate the fruit of prideful racketeering Just so we could all see Eve without the leaves And bangled earrings It's the lies that they tell you, you start to believe And if truth is what you make it Then you're ready to receive A slave to the trade/sinful ways cause of this artistry Until I met the One, who was knocking at my hearts entry Some say He's unattractive when compared to the glitz and glam But, I was glad to look behind the bush to see a ram Who set me free from sin, along with false identity Because until we know the Savior, God is our enemy So don't let the world and its devices, advise you Instead trust the truth of the Father found in the bible
