(feat. Chris Brow)

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

In "Hologram," Dr. Dre and Chris Brown are singing about a relationship that feels like a technology-induced illusion. The lyrics reference the idea that technology can create an artificial reality that can easily warp the truth of a situation. Dr. Dre describes his perspective as someone who is tired of playing games, losing his mind, and being subjected to mixed signals. He compares his perspective to a hologram, acknowledging that he is "pushing up close" but having a hard time getting to the truth.


Throughout the song, Dr. Dre plays with various technological metaphors to describe his emotional state. In one verse, he sings that he has "X-Ray vision" that can see through anything; in another, he complains that he gets "static" every time his partner speaks. The chorus repeats the refrain "hologram," emphasizing the idea that the relationship feels like an artificial construct that can dissolve at any moment.


Overall, "Hologram" can be interpreted as an exploration of the relationship between technology and human intimacy. It suggests that our reliance on screens and devices can create illusions that separate us from one another, making it difficult to establish genuine connections.
