Lyrics
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood (Hollywood)
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood (why do I feel this way?)
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood

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 layin' 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 just 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 swingin' on like thirty people by myself
I couldn't even see the millimeter when it fell
Turned around, saw Gary stashin' a 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

Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood (so how do you like my life now?)
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood (Hollywood)
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood (why do I feel this way?)
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood

Bury my face in comic books, 'cause I don't want to 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 pilin' 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 want to 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

Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood (Hollywood)
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood (why do I feel this way?)
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood

I don't want to 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 never good at that
It's like the boy in a bubble, who never could adapt, I'm trapped
If I could go back, I never would of rapped
I sold my soul to the devil, I'll never get it back
I just want to leave this game with level head intact
Imagine going from being a no-one to seein' everything blow up
And all you did was just grow up emceein'
It's fucking crazy, 'cause all I wanted was to give Hailie the life I never had
Instead I've forced us to live alienated, so I'm saying

Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood (Hollywood)
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood (why do I feel this way?)
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood

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 fuckin' star)
Please don't cry for me (no way)
When I'm gone for good (I'm goin' back home)
