[Chorus]
Sayin goodbye, sayin goodbye to Hollywood
Sayin goodbye, sayin goodbye to Hollywood
Sayin goodbye, sayin goodbye to Hollywood
Sayin goodbye, sayin goodbye to Hollywood
{Hollywood}, sayin goodbye, sayin goodbye to Hollywood
{Why do I feel this way}, sayin goodbye, sayin goodbye to Hollywood
Sayin goodbye, sayin goodbye to Hollywood
Sayin goodbye, sayin 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 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 see this shit myself, it s just me
Nobody couldn t see the shit I felt
Knowin damn well she wasn t gonna be there when I fell, to catch me
The minute shit was heated she just bailed
i m standin here swingin on like thirty people by myself
I couldn t even see the millimetere when it fell
Turned around saw Gary stashin 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 i m...

[CHORUS]

[Verse 2]
Bury my face in comic books, cause I don t want to look
At nothin , 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 bottomin 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 layin 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 growin up to be like his fuckin 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]

[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 fuckin dick
Fuck the guns, i m done, i ll never look at gats
If I scrap, i ll scrap like I ain t never whooped 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 whack
This is more than I ever could of 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 seein ,
everything blow up and all you did was just grow
up emceeing
It s fuckin crazy
Cause all I wanted was to give Hailie the life I never had
But instead I forced us to live alienated, so i m sayin ...

[CHORUS]

[Outro]
Goodbye, goodbye Hollywood, {Goodbye},
please don t cry for me, 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, when I m gone for good, {i m goin back home}...
