How low are these glass ceilings? And could I gain
Whatever before has never been attained due to this game
In these invisible chains on me?
How can I reign with these reins on me?
Walked out the house today, it rained on me
Left my umbrella, life is just like the weather
Highs and lows, before yes, a thousand no's
Got an audition, running late again
Can't make the rent, time to get paid again
Weaving through traffic on the 405, it's Sunset
With dreams to be immortalized, before the sunset
Got a message for my latest ho, "You're done yet?"
I told her "No" two hours later though, "You cum yet?"
Grab my jeans, it seems, being far from my dreams
Is temporarily forgotten when she screams, I exit scene
Stare at the clock and know I'm runnin' out of time
Gettin' high and memorizin' lines
Just like a black man in Hollywood
(My nigga, don't look up, my nigga)
(My nigga, don't look up)
I'm just like a black man in Hollywood
(My nigga, don't look up, my nigga)
(My nigga, don't look up) no love for the black man in Hollywood
(My nigga, don't look up, my nigga)
(My nigga, don't look up)
Just like a black man in Hollywood
(My nigga, don't look up, my nigga)
(My nigga, don't look up) no love, no love
Back home, my niggas thuggin', Lil Ro' just got parole
I'ma send him somethin', meanwhile I can't get a role
'Less a nigga thuggin', selling dope or pimpin' hoes
And the rent is comin', ay, but my pockets gettin' low
And I'm sick of runnin', I need somethin' for my soul
Is it in a woman? I been f*ckin' all these hoes
If I had a woman, plus some wings that I could grow
I would grab my woman, spread my wings and I would go
So far away, so far away
We'd play whoever we want, yeah
We'd play whoever we want, yeah
So far away, so far away
We'd play whoever we want
We'd play whoever we want, yeah
Just like a black man in Hollywood
(My nigga, don't look up, my nigga)
(My nigga, don't look up) no love for the black man in Hollywood
(My nigga, don't look up, my nigga)
(My nigga, don't look up)
I'm just a black man in Hollywood
(My nigga, don't look up, my nigga)
(My nigga, don't look up)
Just like a black man in Hollywood
(My nigga, don't look up, my nigga)
(My nigga, don't look up)
