Hollywood

You know I've seen many people come and go

They come with dreams they need to fulfill

To prove that they're the next big thing

But once they awake they go back home empty handed

So let me tell you something

No one really cares for who you are until you are someone

So you might as well pretend to be someone else

It's basically selling your soul

And it's up to you if you want to go along with it

For them It's just 50 cents anyways

I met her down the street at the walk of fame

Where legends never die and starlets are made

And ever since she was a teen she wanted to be seen

Singing in the rain on the big silver screen

Dreaming big, scraping by

Can't be wrong in the meantime

The days of little money are certainly gonna pass

As soon as they saw her beauty

Like a face made just for movies

I say "What makes you so sure?"

And she looks at me and says

Don't you know in Hollywood

Anyone can make it big

You just got to have the look

And you will rise like no one ever did

Just wait and see, I'll be somebody

With my name bright on a billboard

And the world at my feet

I'm young and bold and I'm driven by hope

So Hollywood's the only place to go

Then I met him on the way to sunset strip

Where people watch the rookies play tomorrows hits

A small town boy with a thing for dem six strings

He took that bus without a single dime on him

Cause it's still free to dream

In the city that never sleeps

He can't wait for the day he becomes an overnight success

For the rush, for the fame

Just to hear them scream his name

I say "What makes you so sure?"

And he looks at me and says

Don't you know in Hollywood

Anyone can make it big

You just got to have the look

And you will rise like no one ever did

Just wait and see, I'll be somebody

With my name in neon letters

And the world at my feet

I'm young and bold and I'm driven by hope

So Hollywood's the only place to go

What does it take to be someone?

Tell me what does it take to be someone?

To shine bright and be on top for once

Tell me what does it take to be someone?

What does it take?

Don't you know in Hollywood

Anyone can make it big

You just got to have the look

And you will rise like no one ever did

Just wait and see, I'll be somebody

With my name bright on a billboard

And the world at my feet

I'm young and bold and I'm driven by hope

So Hollywood's the only place to go
