J. Cole Black Man In Hollywood

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 thе 405, it's Sunset With dreams to be immortalizеd 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) No love for the 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, my nigga, don't look up) No love, no love 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 dope or pimpin' hoes 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 fuckin' 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 I'm just a Black man in Hollywood (My nigga, don't look up, my nigga, my nigga, don't look up, my nigga) 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) I'm just a Black man in Hollywood (My nigga, don't look up, my nigga, my nigga, don't look up)
