CHUCK D:

Burn Hollywood burn I smell a riot goin' on
First they're guilty now they're gone
Yeah, I'll check out a movie
But it'll take a black one to move me
Get me the hell away from this TV
All this news and views are beneath me
'Cause all I hear about is shots ringin' out
About gangs puttin' each others head out
So I rather kick some slang out
All right fellas, let's go hang out
Hollywood or would they not
Make us all look bad like I know they had
But soem thigs I'll never forget yeah
So step and fetch this shit
For all the years we looked like clowns
The joke is over, smell the smoke from all around

Burn Hollywood Burn...

ICE CUBE:

Ice Cube is down with the PE
Now every single bitch wanna see me
Big Daddy is smooth word to mutha
Let's check out a flick that exploits the color
Roamin' through Hollywood late at night
Red-blue lights, what a common sight
Pulled to the curb, gettin' played like a sucker
Don't fight the power, the mother fucker

BIG DADDY KANE:

As I walk the streets of Hollywood Boulevard
Thinkin' how hard it was to those that starred
In the movies portrayin' the roles
Of butlers and maids, slaves and hoes
May intelligent black men seemed
To look uncivilized when on the screen
Like a guess I figure you to play some jigaboo
On the plantation, hat else can a nigger do
And black women in this profession
As for playin' a lawyer, out of question
For what they play Aunt Jemima is the perfect term
Even if now she got a perm
So let's our own movies like Spike Lee
'Cause the roles being offered don't strike me
There's nothing that the black man could use to earn
Burn Hollywood Burn

Burn Hollywood Burn...
