Hollywood
Shwayze Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some say when it rains it pours
Hollywood ain't no place for lovers anymore
And it ain't no place for us
Some say when it rains it pours
Hollywood ain't no place for lovers anymore
And it ain't no place for us

Ay yo

What the hell am I rhyming for
Designer clothes and designer whores
Designer cars and designer doors
Designer kitchen with designer drawers
Hell no, vagina dog
The other shit bore me like a monologue
Like the beatles when they were bigger then Jesus
I'm genuis bill clinton were my speeches
Look you in the eye and lie
Believe it, I mean it.
Girl I'm leaving
I don't really know where I'm gonna go
But I got a backpack full of demos
I'm a player baby, I should run for mayer maybe.
The way I'm politicing latley.
The way I'm politicing ladies.
The way I'm politicing ladies.

Some say when it rains it pours
Hollywood ain't no place for lovers anymore
And it ain't no place for us
Some say when it rains it pours
Hollywood ain't no place for lovers anymore
And it ain't no place for us

I'm convinced that if I hop the fence
I can climb on in and get my fingerprints on your booty, julie,
I know you wanna do me.
Since I moved to malibu from the hood like a movie.
Peoples chant with my sneakers in the sand
Blowing up like an amp so they kicked me out the band
That's when I met my man strummin on a six string drink in his hand talking to his ding-a-ling

Whys everybody always picking on me
Whys everybody always picking on me
Whys everybody always picking on me
Whys everybody still coming to my party

Everybody coming to my party (background)

Some say when it rains it pours
Hollywood ain't no place for lovers anymore
And it ain't no place for us
Some say when it rains it pours
Hollywood ain't no place for lovers anymore
And it ain't no place for us

Everybody coming to my party
It starts today
We getting naughty by 9
So don't be late
There's gonna be a line
So prepare to wait
Fine fine ladies first
And bring your iceskates
And bring your wings
We all getting high tonight
And touching things
Muffin butt blowing cigarette rings

Everybody coming to my partyx4

Some say when it rains it pours
Hollywood ain't no place for lovers anymore

Some say when it rains it pours
Hollywood ain't no place for lovers anymore

Some say when it rains it pours
Hollywood ain't no place for lovers anymore

Some say when it rains it pours
Hollywood ain't no place for lovers anymore

Some say when it rains it pours
Hollywood ain't no place for lovers anymore

Some say when it rains it pours
Hollywood ain't no place for lovers anymore

Overall Meaning

In "Hollywood," Shwayze reflects on his experiences in the entertainment industry and how it has affected his relationships. He acknowledges that Hollywood has become a place where love is scarce and people are more focused on materialistic possessions, such as designer clothes, cars, and residences. Shwayze feels out of place in this culture and realizes that it is not a suitable environment for those looking for genuine love.

Throughout the song, the rapper expresses his desire to leave this superficial lifestyle and pursue his passion for music. He faces criticism and rejection, but he's determined to make it as an artist. Shwayze's insecurity presents itself as he tries to hit on a woman named Julie by jumping over the fence and leaving his fingerprints on her body. He then refers to his moment with a man who played the guitar and talked about his "ding-a-ling."

The repeated chorus, "Some say when it rains it pours, Hollywood ain't no place for lovers anymore, and it ain't no place for us," highlights Shwayze's feelings of isolation and the sense that love has become an elusive concept in this city.

Line by Line Meaning

Some say when it rains it pours
When things get tough, they keep getting tougher

Hollywood ain't no place for lovers anymore
The entertainment industry is too ruthless for romance to thrive

And it ain't no place for us
We don't belong in this cut-throat world of fame and fortune

Ay yo
Hey, listen up

What the hell am I rhyming for
Why am I still chasing fame when it's not what I really want?

Designer clothes and designer whores
Hollywood is filled with superficial people and things

Designer cars and designer doors
Even the everyday objects are expensive and status symbols

Designer kitchen with designer drawers
The luxuries of life lose their appeal in this soulless world

Hell no, vagina dog
I want nothing to do with the shallow lifestyle of Hollywood

The other shit bore me like a monologue
Everything here is predictable and unexciting

Like the beatles when they were bigger then Jesus
Popularity doesn't equate to happiness or fulfillment

I'm genuis bill clinton were my speeches
I have the charisma to lead people, but I don't want to be a politician

Look you in the eye and lie
I'll do whatever it takes to get ahead, even if it means betraying someone

Believe it, I mean it.
My promises may be empty, but they sound sincere

Girl I'm leaving
I'm over this lifestyle and I'm ready to move on

I don't really know where I'm gonna go
I don't have a clear path, but I'm open to finding a new one

But I got a backpack full of demos
I'm still pursuing my passion for music despite leaving Hollywood

I'm a player baby, I should run for mayor maybe.
I'm a ladies' man and I have the charm to win an election

The way I'm politicing latley.
The way I'm interacting with people lately

The way I'm politicing ladies.
The way I'm trying to charm women lately

I'm convinced that if I hop the fence
I'm determined to win over this one woman

I can climb on in and get my fingerprints on your booty, julie,
I can make a lasting impression on Julie

I know you wanna do me.
I'm confident in my ability to seduce her

Since I moved to Malibu from the hood like a movie.
My life has been like a Hollywood movie since I got famous

Peoples chant with my sneakers in the sand
Fans idolize me and treat me like a rockstar

Blowing up like an amp so they kicked me out the band
My ego got too big and I became too difficult to work with

That's when I met my man strumming on a six string drink in his hand talking to his ding-a-ling
I met someone who was more laid-back and genuine when I lost my way

Why's everybody always picking on me
I feel like a target and I'm tired of being judged by others

Everybody coming to my partyx4
I'm trying to create a new community of like-minded people outside of Hollywood

It starts today
I'm moving on and starting a new chapter

We getting naughty by 9
We're going to have a wild and carefree time

So don't be late
This is a party you don't want to miss

There's gonna be a line
This party is going to be popular and exclusive

So prepare to wait
If you want to come, you better be patient

Fine fine ladies first
Women are the priority at this party

And bring your iceskates
We're going to have fun and maybe even do some unexpected activities

And bring your wings
Be open-minded and ready to fly free

We all getting high tonight
We're going to let loose and have a good time

And touching things
We may get a little bit out of control
