Black Man in Hollywood

La-la-la-la-la

How low are these glass ceilings?

And could I gain what has never before been attained due to this game?

And these invisible chains on me?

How can I reign with these reins on me?

Walked out the house today, it rained on me

Left my umbrella, life is just like the weather

Highs and lows, before yes, a thousand nos

Got an audition, running late again

Can't make the rent, time to get paid again

Weaving through traffic on the 405, hit Sunset

With dreams to be immortalized before the sunset

Got a message for my latest ho, "You're done yet?"

I told her, "No," two hours later though, "You cum yet?"

Grab my jeans, it seems, being far from my dreams

Is temporarily forgotten when she screams, I exit scene

Stare at the clock and know I'm runnin' out of time

Gettin' high and memorizin' lines

Just like a Black man in Hollywood

My ****, don't look up, my ****, my ****, don't look up

I'm just a Black man in Hollywood

My ****, don't look up, my ****, my ****, don't look up

No love for the Black man in Hollywood

My ****, don't look up, my ****, my ****, don't look up

Just a Black man in Hollywood

My ****, don't look up, my ****, my ****, don't look up

No love, no love

Back home, my **** thuggin', Lil' Ro just got parole

I'ma send them somethin', meanwhile I can't get a role

'Less a **** thuggin', selling dope or pimpin' hoes

And the rent is comin', aye, but my pockets gettin' low

And I'm sick of runnin', I need somethin' for my soul

Is it in a woman? I been fuckin' all these hoes

If I had a woman, plus some wings that I could grow

I would grab my woman, spread my wings and I would go

So far away, so far away

We'd play whoever we want, yeah

We'd play whoever we want, yeah

So far away, so far away

We'd play whoever we want

We'd play whoever we want, yeah

I'm just like a Black man in Hollywood

My ****, don't look up, my ****, my ****, don't look up

No love for the Black man in Hollywood

My ****, don't look up, my ****, my ****, don't look up

I'm just like a Black man in Hollywood

My ****, don't look up, my ****, my ****, don't look up

I'm just like a Black man in Hollywood

My ****, don't look up, my ****, my ****, don't look up
