I Wonder If They Still Feel The Same Way Today

 

Burn Hollywood burn, I smell a riotGoin' on, first they're guilty, now they're goneYeah, I'll check out a movieBut it'll take a Black one to move meGet me the hell away from this T.VAll this news and views are beneath meSo all I hear about is shots ringing outAbout gangs putting each other's head out
So I rather kick some slang outAll right fellas, let's go hang outHollywood or would they notMake us all look bad like I know they hadBut some things I'll never forget, yeahSo step and fetch this shitFor all the years we looked like clownsThe joke is over, smell the smoke from all around
Burn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burn
Burn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burn
Burn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burn
Burn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burn
Ice Cube is down with the P.ENow every single bitch wanna see meBig Daddy is smooth, word to motherLet's check out a flick that exploits the colorRoaming through Hollywood late at nightRed and blue lights what a common sightPulled to the curb, getting played like a suckerDon't fight the power, the motherfucker
As I walk the streets of Hollywood BoulevardThinking how hard it was to those that starredIn the movies portraying the rolesOf butlers and maids, slaves and hoesMany intelligent Black men seemedTo look uncivilized when on the screenLike, I guess I figure you to play some jigabooOn the plantation, what else can a nigga do?
And Black women in this professionAs for playing a lawyer, out of the questionFor what they play Aunt Jemima is the perfect termEven if now she got a permSo let's make our own movies like Spike Lee'Cause the roles being offered don't strike meAs nothing that the black man could use to earnBurn Hollywood, burn
Burn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burn
Burn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burn
Burn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burn
Burn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burnBurn Hollywood, burn
"Now we're considering you for a part in our new productionHow do you feel about playing a controversial negro?""Yeah, I'm wid itYou mean somebody like Huey P. Newton or H. Rap Brown, right?""Well, it's a servant character that chuckles a little bit, and sings""Yo, man, what? That's bullshit"
"Hey Cube, Kane, Flav, listenI hope you ain't wastin' my timeYou know how I feel about givin' these movies my moneyKnow what I'm sayin'? I work hard for it""Yo, man, it's gonna be dope, man""Chill, man""Hey, I'm chill chill, but you know what I'm sayin'I just don't wanna, I can't go for this Steel Magnolia shit, know what I'm sayin'?""Come on, man, it's cool"
Ladies and gentlemen, today's feature presentation, Driving Miss Daisy"No, no, no""Bullshit, just what I'm talkin' about, all this Terms of Endearment shitI'm outta here, man, it's bullshit""Yo, check it out, man I got Black Caesar at the crib, man, y'all want to go check that out?""That's the idea, we could have rolled with that from the get-go!""Fuck Hollywood, man"
