(feat. Dr.Dre)

I-I-I- gotta make make my way
Way through all these people.
I didn't put all this money
Just so so I I can see ya'
I'm about to act a (?) fool,
I used to dawg on you.
I'm about to bon bon
Chicky bon bon bon me.
Run it back (?)

I got technology,
X-Ray vision anything
I can see through.
I get static every time you speak,
Frequency got to be equal.
I'm tired of playing,
Can't even hear the shit you saying.
It's like (make the noises? LOL)

Hologram, I'm pushing up close
But it's hard to get to ya.
Hologram, there's a glitch
In the system tell me
What I gotta do now.
Oh damn.
Illusion, confusion,
I'm losing ground (Oh oh oh)
Hologram.
(Hey hey hey. Hologram.
Hey hey hey hey)
(Hey hey hey. Hologram.
Hey hey hey hey)
(Oh oh oh oh oh. Hologram)

You want me to flip the switch
So I I can be your victim.
I ain't gotta slip up
Like going it outside in the rain
With no umbrella.
What the hell you take me for.
I'ma take a different route.
I'm about to bon bon
Chicky bon bon bon me.
Run it back (?)

Bang bang choo-choo train,
Baby put that thing on me.
You'd rather see my main frame,
Not the cage.
You about to see another side of me.
And she'd be like T minus 7,
Before my system shut us down.
Matter of fact I think
I'm about to shut down right now.

Hologram, I'm pushing up close
But it's hard to get to ya.
Hologram,
There's a glitch in the system
Tell me what I gotta do now.
Oh damn.
Illusion, confusion,
I'm losing ground (Oh oh oh)
Hologram.
(Hey hey hey. Hologram.
Hey hey hey hey)
(Hey hey hey. Hologram.
Hey hey hey hey)
(Oh oh oh oh oh. Hologram)

I'm tired of playing with you,
Right now I think your times up.
Giving mixed signals
That I don't have control of.
I'm losing my mind,
Perfect model before my time.
Download to my instant data,
Give me a sock I can plug in.

Hologram, I'm pushing up close
But it's hard to get to ya.
Hologram,
There's a glitch in the system
Tell me what I gotta do now.
Oh damn.
Illusion, confusion,
I'm losing ground (Oh oh oh oh)
Hologram.
(Hey hey hey. Hologram.
Hey hey hey hey)
(Hey hey hey. Hologram.




Hey hey hey hey)
(Oh oh oh oh oh. Hologram)

Overall Meaning

The song Hologram by Chris Brown featuring Andre Merritt and Dr. Dre talks about the relationship between two people, where one is pretending to be someone they are not. The first verse talks about how Chris Brown has to make his way through a crowd, which represents the obstacles he has to face to be with this person. He also mentions the money he has spent, which could be interpreted as him trying to impress or win over this person. However, he also mentions that he used to "dawg" on this person, suggesting that he might not have had the best intentions in the past. In the chorus, he sings about how this person is like a hologram, a representation of someone who is not real or present, and how he is trying to get closer to them despite the glitches in the system.


The second verse talks more about the technological aspect of the relationship, with Chris Brown mentioning his X-Ray vision and the static he experiences when he hears this person speak. This might indicate that he is having trouble understanding them or that they are not being truthful. He also mentions "flipping the switch" so he can be this person's victim, implying that they might be manipulating him. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the illusion and confusion Chris Brown is experiencing.


Overall, the song seems to be about a relationship that is not what it seems, and how Chris Brown is trying to navigate his way through it despite the obstacles and glitches. It also touches on the theme of technology and how it can affect relationships.
