La la la la la

How low are these glass ceilings

And could I gain what has never before

Been attained due to this game

And 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 nos

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 my nigga

I'm just a black man in Hollywood

My nigga don't look up my nigga

My nigga don't look up my nigga

Black man in Hollywood

My nigga don't look up

My nigga my nigga don't look up

Just a black man in Hollywood

My nigga don't look up

My nigga

No love no love

My nigga don't look up

Back home my niggas thuggin'

Lil' roaches got parole

I'ma send them somethin'

Meanwhile I can't get a role

'Less a nigga thuggin'

Selling d**e or pimpin' h*es

And the rent is comin' ayy

But my pockets gettin' low

And I'm sick of runnin'

I need somethin' for my soul

Is it in a woman

I been ******* all these h*es

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

I'm just a black man in Hollywood

My nigga don't look up

My nigga my nigga don't look up my nigga

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

I'm just a black man in Hollywood

My nigga don't look up

My nigga my nigga don't look up
