| [Intro: Jay-Z & |
| Beyoncé |
| It ain’t for everybody! (Uhh) |
| Welcome to Hollywood, baby (Take a picture) |
| Uh-huh, you coming with? (Let's not even talk about it) |
| Let’s do it (let's go) uh-huh |
| [Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé & |
| Jay-Z |
| I see your jealousy as you watching (I see you watching me, baby) |
| You watching (it's all good) |
| It’s kinda sexy to me how you watching (I love it) |
| You watching (Uh-huh, come on) |
| I see your face (I see your face) |
| You wanna touch it (You wanna touch it) |
| Come to my place (Come to the crib) |
| And let’s discuss it (Let's chop it up) |
| Tonight you’ll be, a superstar |
| Tonight you gonna be a superstar, baby |
| Come let me sign you up (Let's get into it) |
| [Chorus: Beyoncé & |
| Jay-Z |
| Ooh it’s the lights |
| You blinded by the (Action!) |
| You need that (Hollywood!) |
| Ah, ah, ah, ah, come on |
| Ooh it’s the lights |
| You blinded by the (Satisfaction!) |
| You need that (Hollywood) |
| Ah, ah, ah, ah, come on |
| Paparazzi spots me in the lobby of my high-rise |
| I hide behind my shades cause the fame is blinding my eyes |
| My God |
| I know how Ozzie Oz |
| Once had felt when he was as high as I have got |
| I have got to make this stop |
| People often warn me that the fame ain’t for the faint of heart |
| It’ll change those who said they had love for you into strangers |
| When your fame starts, it’s a chain reaction |
| Locomotion like when the train departs |
| Stranger, things have happened |
| Rapping, stacking, platinum plaquin' |
| Born in Brooklyn, got a place in Manhattan |
| Going back to Brooklyn to escape the madness |
| When your friends is, Chris and Gwyneth |
| When your girl is more famous than you then it’s |
| Time to get all your windows tinted |
| Keep your eyes squinted, it’s gon' flash any minute |
| The music biz is like musical chairs |
| It’s about where you standing when the music stop spinning |
| [Chorus: Beyoncé & |
| Jay-Z |
| Ooh it’s the lights |
| You blinded by the (Action!) |
| You need that (Hollywood!) |
| Ah, ah, ah, ah, come on |
| Ooh it’s the lights |
| You blinded by the (Satisfaction!) |
| You need that (Hollywood) |
| Ah, ah, ah, ah, come on |
| [Post-Chorus: Beyoncé & |
| Jay-Z |
| You got to get it (Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh) |
| Do you want it? (Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh) |
| But you don’t need it (Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh) |
| What do you do? Oh oh oh oh |
| Now that you got what you want |
| What do you do? Oh oh oh, hey |
| Oh you want more? |
| Hey mister, pay six-a, a list-a, you’re in the mist of |
| The ride of your life but you gotta keep them hits up |
| Can’t put your guard down, gotta keep your mitts up |
| Take a sip, sir, it’s so intoxicating, ain’t it? |
| Try not to get jaded, Hollywood’s been good to ya |
| Startin' feel like buzz to ya, don’t lie |
| Gon' fly, you addicted to the lights |
| Without the fame how you gon' survive |
| It’s like living on heroin, you so high |
| [Bridge: Beyoncé & |
| Jay-Z |
| And everybody warning you about it (I tried to told you) |
| And once you taste, you can’t live without it (It's addictive) |
| Not cause you choose to not live without it |
| You sure you want this, baby? |
| It’s now a part of you, it’s now a part of you (It's a part of you) |
| And everybody warning you about it |
| I see you changed, I see you blinded |
| And once you taste you can’t live |
| [Chorus: Beyoncé & |
| Jay-Z |
| Ooh it’s the lights |
| You blinded by the (Action!) |
| You need that (Hollywood!) |
| Ah, ah, ah, ah, come on |
| Ooh it’s the lights |
| You blinded by the (Satisfaction!) |
| You need that (Hollywood) |
| Ah, ah, ah, ah, come on |
| Wanna be seen, male groupies |
| Now you’ve become what you once despised |
| James Dean, John Belushi |
| Blow your whole life tryna live in the lights |
| Heroins following Marilyn |
| Hoppin' over the edge just like Janis Joplin |
| River Phoenix, Jimi Hendrix |
| Jimmy Morrison, all of them ended by |
| Hollywood |
| thank God for Hollywood |
| Hollywood, sure you want this baby? |
| Hollywood |
| It’s the most addicted drug in the world |
| Want the fame? You want the lights? |
| Hahaha |
