I thought I had it all figured out, I did
I thought I was tough enough
to stick it out with Kim
But I wasn't tough enough
to juggle two things at once
I found myself layin' on my knees in cuffs
Which should've been a reason enough
for me to get my stuff and just leave
How come I couldn't see this shit myself
it's just me
Nobody couldn't see the shit I felt
Knowin' damn well she wasn't gonna be there when I fell
to catch me
The minute shit was heated she just bailed
I'm standin' here swingin' on
like thirty people by myself
I couldn't even see the millimeter
when it fell
Turned around saw Gary stashin' the heater in his belt
Saw the bouncers rush him and beat him to the ground
I just sold two million records
I don't need to go to jail
I'm not about to lose my freedom over no female
I need to slow down
Try to get my feet on solid ground
so for now I'm

Bury my face in comic books
'cause I don't wanna look
At nothin', this world's too much
I've swallowed all I could
If I could swallow a bottle of Tylenol I would
and end it for good
Just say goodbye to Hollywood
I probably should
these problems are piling all at once
'Cause everything that bothers me
I got it bottled up
I think I'm bottomin' out
But I'm not about to give up
I gotta get up
Thank God, I got a little girl
And I'm a responsible father
So not a lot of good
I'd be to my daughter layin' in the bottom of the mud
Must be in my blood 'cause I don't know how I do it
All I know is I don't wanna follow in the footsteps of my dad
'Cause I hate him so bad
The worst fear that I had
was growin' up to be like his fuckin' ass, man
If you could understand
why I am the way that I am
What do I say to my fans, when I tell 'em I'm
Sayin' goodbye, sayin' goodbye to Hollywood

Sayin' goodbye, sayin' goodbye to Hollywood
Sayin' goodbye, sayin' goodbye to Hollywood
Sayin' goodbye, sayin' goodbye to Hollywood
I don't wanna quit
but shit, I feel like this is it
For me to have this much appeal like this is sick
This is not a game
this fame, in real life this is sick
Publicity stunt my ass
conceal my fuckin' dick
Fuck the guns, I'm done
I'll never look at gats
If I scrap, I'll scrap like I ain't never whipped some ass
I love my fans
But no one ever puts a grasp on the fact
I've sacrificed everything I have
I never dreamt I'd get to the level that I'm at
this is whack
This is more than I ever could of asked
Everywhere I go, a hat, a sweater hood, or mask
What about math
how come I wasn't ever good at that
It's like the boy in the bubble
who never could adapt, I'm trapped
If I could go back, I never woulda rapped
I sold my soul to the devil
I'll never get it back
I just wanna leave this game with level head intact
Imagine goin' from bein'
a no one to seein'
Everything blow up
and all you did was just grow up emceeing
It's fuckin' crazy
'Cause all I wanted was to give Hailie the life I never had
But instead I forced us to live alienated, so I'm sayin'
Sayin' goodbye, sayin' goodbye to Hollywood
Sayin' goodbye, sayin' goodbye to Hollywood

(Goodbye)
Please don't cry for me
when I'm gone for good
(This shit is not for me)
So goodbye, goodbye Hollywood
(I'm not a fuckin' star)
Please don't cry for me
when I'm gone for good
(I'm goin' back home)
