Hollywood Gangsta lyrics - Nas

Shout my young New York niggas out there on that drill shit

Yeah

Yeah

Ayo, yo, let me try this shit out right here

The scars of martyrs

The path of bastard seeds

Effects of absentee fathers passed on with ease

Hope the babies eat healthier, and may we get wealthier

They was not givin' we ask for forgiveness, not permission

Whole clique is eachother's counselor

Holdin' sticks without a hockey puck

Can't co-sign em, them niggas not with us

Hop on a private jet with twelve tenants

Right when I land, the chopper to Manhattan is 12 minutes

I put the real in real nigga that's on my momma though

Homie you gotta feel me from Cali out to the Callio

Slicker than Desi Arnez on my Copa Cabana flow

In Houston with a thick one eatin' at Papadeaux

Shit, it was written

Choppin' up competition

Palms itchin' bohemian growth couldn't get Nas to visit

I seen both ends of the ladder, ain't see no silver platter

Fiction don't even matter we don't ask for the cameras

Guess they used to the ego havin' head in the air

Hollywood Gangsta, goons with 'em everywhere

I'm the opposite smooth not spreading fear

Silver spoons never fed Nasir I'm on top and I surprise em

I'm on top and I surprise em

Velour fashions

World tour jackets

I turned to a hoarder, I don't need more baggage

Everybody lyin' telling stories backwards

Like my song Rewind then store autographin'

To take it back in time, to today I'm smashin'

Flick out ashes, flip girls on a mattress

We get it crackin' without the attachments

Her - My heart is cold as Aspen

Both of us laughin'

I put the New in New York

I'm home

All of the watches stay on the Eastern time zone

Throwin' parties whenever I'm feeling godly

White linen parties for whenever we make a million dollars

Nas think he too good to pull up on us

See me at a baby shower with some OGs from Corona

Sippin' liquor taking photos and I slid with a cougar

Could'a pulled a young love but I took who was cuter

Esco relaxed in hood I ain't come with a shooter

They asked what I'm doin', they said I was already proven

Who said I'm too comfortable around on my regular shit

You know I'm a rare nigga but ghetto as shit

Guess they used to the ego havin' head in the air

Hollywood Gangsta, goons with 'em everywhere

I'm the opposite smooth not spreading fear

Silver spoons never fed Nasir I'm on top and I surprise em

And I surprise em, uh yeah

I ain't sayin' don't have your goons with you

I'm on top, it's not surprising

But when you get a lil' older you move different

Yeah, I'm on top and I keep rising (Rising)

Uh huh, early morning

I'm on top

To the dawn and I'm on top

Yeah

I can't be stopped, why even try

Hollywood gangsta

I'm the opposite of that

Ha!
