Story behind the song
Among the many sacrifices I've made for this band, one of the more significant ones included a now-ex-girlfriend of 1.5 years. She made me choose. I did.
Lyrics
INTRO - 8
He was from the city, just tryin' to do his thing
Livin' pretty, gritty, makin' moves in the game
He started writin' rhymes, and perfectin' his flow
Not for cheques or the dough, but respect, you know
Oh word, and her? She was fresh out the 'burbs
She heard about his show, checked him out on his turf
That's when boy meets girl, and boy really likes her
Went from chit-chattin' to spendin' whole nights up
Talkin' 'bout this and that, it was a mismatch
Made in heaven, with the blessin' of a reverend
Like it'd never end, and so, you wouldn't think
that the good thing they had goin' for them could sink//
HOOK (8)
Would you trade it all/ For fortune and fame
would you give the world/Just to make a name
But when it all falls down/ Who'll you blame
Don't let it change your game/ Don't let it change your game
Overnight celebrity, yeah, get out the cameras
He can't even go nowhere without his manager
...If not an interview, it's another photoshoot
If not that, he's layin' a track, up in the vocal booth
she had no idea he could change so much
and night after night it was the same cold touch
she tried to take him back from the game, no luck
so she was left sittin' like a lame old duck
she didn't deserve this, he turned what was perfect
into a circus, now, was it worth it?
how could he reverse it, he made it as a rapper
And couldn't have a, heart servin' two masters/
HOOK
BRIDGE (8)
...Welcome to Hollywood/ Where life is fast but the girls are faster
...Welcome to Hollywood/ Where the sights feel like they're blowin' past ya
...it's funny, cuz at the top/ they never say how far down you'll drop, so
...even though, you only live once/ you know that you gotta give it all you got//
