Say Goodbye Hollywood lyrics

[Chorus]

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

(Hollywood, why do I feel this way?)

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

[Verse 1]

I thought I had it all figured out, I did

I thought I was tough enough to stick it out with Kim

But I wasn't tough enough to juggle two things at once

I found myself laying on my knees in cuffs

Which should've been a reason enough for me to get my stuff

And just leave, how come I couldn't see this shit myself?

It's just me, nobody couldn't see the shit I felt

Knowing damn well she wasn't gonna be there when I fell

To catch me; the minute shit was heated, she just bailed

I'm standing here swinging on like thirty people by myself

I couldn't even see the millimeter when it fell

Turned around, saw Gary stashing the heater in his belt

Saw the bouncers rush him and beat him to the ground

I just sold two million records, I don't need to go to jail

I'm not about to lose my freedom over no female

I need to slow down

Try to get my feet on solid ground, so for now

[Chorus]

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

(Hollywood, why do I feel this way?)

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

[Verse 2]

Bury my face in comic books, ‘cause I don't wanna look

At nothing, this world's too much, I've swallowed all I could

If I could swallow a bottle of Tylenol I would

And end it for good, just say goodbye to Hollywood

I probably should, these problems are piling all at once

‘Cause everything that bothers me, I got it bottled up

I think I'm bottoming out, but I'm not about to give up

I gotta get up, thank God I got a little girl

And I'm a responsible father, so not a lot of good

I'd be to my daughter laying in the bottom of the mud

Must be in my blood ‘cause I don't know how I do it

All I know is I don't wanna follow in the footsteps

Of my dad ‘cause I hate him so bad

The worst fear that I had

Was growing up to be like his fucking ass

Man, if you could understand why I am the way that I am

What do I say to my fans when I tell 'em I'm

[Chorus]

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

(Hollywood, why do I feel this way?)

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

[Verse 3]

I don't wanna quit, but shit, I feel like this is it

For me to have this much appeal like this is sick

This is not a game, this fame, in real life, this is sick

"Publicity stunt" my ass, "conceal" my fucking dick

Fuck the guns, I'm done, I'll never look at gats

If I scrap, I'll scrap like I ain't never whipped some ass

I love my fans, but no one ever puts a grasp

On the fact I've sacrificed everything I have

I never dreamt I'd get to the level that I'm at

This is wack, this is more than I ever coulda asked

Everywhere I go, a hat, a sweater hood or mask

What about math, how come I wasn't ever good at that?

It's like the boy in the bubble, who never could adapt

I'm trapped, if I could go back, I never woulda rapped

I sold my soul to the devil, I'll never get it back

I just wanna leave this game with level head intact

Imagine goin' from bein' a no-one to seeing

Everything blow up, and all you did was just grow up emceeing

It's fucking crazy, ‘cause all I wanted was to give Hailie

The life I never had, instead I forced us to live alienated, so I'm saying

[Chorus]

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

(Hollywood, why do I feel this way?)

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

Saying goodbye, saying goodbye to Hollywood

[Outro]

Goodbye, goodbye Hollywood (Goodbye)

Please don't cry for me (It's been real)

When I'm gone for good (This shit is not for me)

So goodbye, goodbye Hollywood (I'm not a fucking star)

Please don't cry for me (No way)

When I'm gone for good (I'm going back home)
