[Verse 1: Steve Knight] A proud attempt to take his destiny The hands of men, trying to seize the reigns of history By making plans to reach, the sun
And so by orders of the nations king, they began Soon they towered over everything, from the ground it seemed That it could be done
[Hook: Steve Knight] And they said rock by rock, we built a tower that will have no top We'll get it right beneath the sun, and then keep going just for fun And they said block by block, straight up to heaven and we can't be stopped The sun has never felt this good, I'd even kiss it if I could From the tower of Hollywood
[Verse 2: Mc-Piper] Look Music, we used to listen to it, now we lookin' at it Liposuctionin' it, second guessing, questionin' it Faceliftin' suplementin' strechin' bendin' it till its broken Takes the wrinkles from the soul, botoxing loose the tone, now it's flat The gifted was once giving to his children, now it's crap They have no way to navigate the system, so they crash They can form, then get torn, by the storm By the lies of the leprechauns, for the gold you will get stepped on And they close they eyes in their minds they thinking maybe, just maybe I can be that one at the top, but why is he one at the top?
And why is the man that ain't never wrote a lyric in his life telling me how to rap And why is the man that ain't never sing a note in his life telling him how to back his tracks Hackeysack, kicked around, dribbeling ya drop down on the ground Meanwhile everyone thinks it's all gravy, praying daily, they get trade met: Red carpet, blue carpet, old carpet, new carpet New carpet, album drop, didn't sale, used carpet Don't take off your shoes carpet, she's stained and abused carpet Everybody rolled up, career fold up, you old news carpet That's entertainment, live and die inside the public eye It always was and will forever be a pretty lie
[Hook]
So (long) we all (long) catch on fire (long) So (long) we all (long) catch on fire (long) From the Tower of Hollywood
[Verse 3: Steve Knight] If you want it I'll built it up and just let it go Blood, sweat, tears, love and rock and roll Mix it all together, light it up and watch it blow Blood, sweat, tears, love and rock and roll If you want it I'll built it up and just let it go Blood, sweat, tears, love and rock and roll Mix it all together, light it up and watch it blow Watch it burn, yeah, watch it burn
[Steve Knight] So (long) we all (long) catch on fire (long) So (long) we all (long) catch on fire (long) And they close (they) eyes in their minds they thinking maybe, just maybe I can be that one at the top, but why is he one at the top?

So (long) we all (long) catch on fire (long) So (long) we all (long) catch on fire (long) From the tower of Hollywood So (long) we all (long) catch on fire (long) So (long) we all (long) catch on fire (long) From the tower of HollywoodExplain
