Hollywood
Beyoncй/Jay-Z Lyrics

It ain't for everybody
Hollywood isn't meant for everyone.

Welcome to Hollywood, baby
Welcome to the glamorous world of Hollywood, where dreams come true.

Take my picture
Let's capture this moment in a photograph.

You comin' with?
Are you ready to join me on this journey?

Let's not even talk about it
Let's not waste time discussing it, let's just do it.

Let's do it
Let's take action and pursue our dreams in Hollywood.

I see your jealousy as you're watching (I see you watching) You're watching (It's all good) It's kinda sexy to me (I love it) How you're watching, you're watching I see your face (I see your face) You want to touch it (You want to touch it) Come to my place (Come to the crib) And let's discuss it (Let's chop it up) Tonight you'll be (Tonight you goin' be a superstar, baby) A superstar Come, let me sign you up (Let's get into it)
I can see that you're envious of my success, but I find it attractive. You admire me and want to be a part of it, so let's get together and talk about how you can become a star too.

Oh, it's the lights (You're blinded by the) Action! (You need that) Hollywood (uh, uh, uh, uh) Oh, it's the lights (You're blinded by the) Satisfaction (You need that) Hollywood (uh, uh, uh, uh, c'mon)
The bright lights and exciting energy of Hollywood can be blinding, but it's so enticing and addictive. It's what we need to succeed.

Paparazzi spots me in the lobby of my high rise I hide behind my shades because the fame is blindin' my eyes My god, I know how Ozzy Oz must have felt when he was Oz hot As I have got, I have got to make this stop People often warn me that the fame ain't for the faint of heart It'll change those 'cause if they had love for you into strangers When the fame starts, it's a chain reaction Locomotion like when a train departs Stranger things have happened Rappin', stackin' platinum plaques Born in Brooklyn, got a place in Manhattan Goin' back to Brooklyn to escape the madness When your friends is Chris and Gwyneth When your girl is more famous than Juventus Then it's time to get all your windows tinted Keep your eyes squinted, it's goin' flash any minute The music biz is like musical chairs It's about where you stand when the music stop spinnin'
The paparazzi are always following me and it's blinding my eyes. I can relate to the feeling of being a rockstar like Ozzy, but at some point, it can become too much. People warn me that fame changes people, turning friends into strangers. It's a fast-moving train, and once it starts, it's hard to get off. I've had success in the rap industry, but I have to remember where I came from and keep my windows tinted to avoid the flash of the camera. The music industry is competitive, and it's all about being in the right place at the right time.

You got to get it Do you want it? But you don't need it Till you do, till you do
Sometimes we don't know what we truly want until we have it. We may not need it, but we can't stop until we have it in our grasp.

Hey mister, page sixer A-lister, you're in the midst of The ride of your life, but you gotta keep them hits up Can't put your guard down, gotta keep your mitts up Take a sip, sir, it's so intoxicating ain't it? Try not to get jaded Hollywood's been good to ya Startin' to feel like buzz to ya Don't lie, go on fly, you're addicted to the light Without the fame, how you gon' survive? It's like bein' on heroin, you so high
Hey, A-lister, you're in the middle of the ride of your life, but you have to keep producing hits and stay on top. Don't lower your guard, and stay alert. It's intoxicating to be a part of the Hollywood scene, but don't let it jade you. You're addicted to the fame and the spotlight, and it's like a drug you can't resist. Without it, you feel like you can't survive.

And everybody's warning you about it (I tried to tell you) And once you taste it you can't live without it (It's addicting) Not 'cause you choose to not live without it (you sure you want this, baby?) It's now a part of you, it's now a part of you (It's a part of you) And everybody's warning you about it And once you taste it you can't leave
Everyone tells you about the dangers of fame, but once you experience it, you can't imagine living without it. It's like an addiction that you don't willingly choose, but it becomes a part of who you are. It consumes you and you can never go back to the way things were before.

Wanna be seen now, groupies Now you've become what you once despised James Dean, John Belushi, blow your whole life trying to live in the lights Heroin's following, Marijuana hopping over the edge It's like Janis Joplin River Pheonix, Jimi Hendrix Jimmy Morrison, all of them ended by Hollywood Thank God for Hollywood Hollywood You sure you want this, baby? Hollywood, it's the most addicting drug in the world You want the fame You want the lights
Everyone wants to be seen in Hollywood, and sometimes it can turn people into the very thing they used to despise. Famous stars like James Dean and John Belushi died trying to keep up with the fast-paced lifestyle, and drugs like heroin and marijuana can be tempting. Janis Joplin, River Phoenix, Jimi Hendrix, and Jimmy Morrison all met tragic ends in the pursuit of stardom. We all owe our success to Hollywood, but it's a dangerous place to be. You really want to be a part of it?
