Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jay-Z] Paparazzi spots me in the lobby of my high-riseI hide behind my shades cause the fame is blinding my eyesMy God , I know how Ozzie OzOnce had felt when he was as high as I have got I have got to make this stopPeople 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 strangersWhen your fame starts, it's a chain reactionLocomotion like when the train departsStranger, things have happenedRapping, stacking, platinum plaquin' Born in Brooklyn, got a place in ManhattanGoing back to Brooklyn to escape the madness When your friends is, Chris and Gwyneth When your girl is more famous than you then it'sTime to get all your windows tintedKeep your eyes squinted, it's gon' flash any minute The music biz is like musical chairsIt's about where you standing when the music stop spinning [Chorus: Beyoncé & Jay-Z ] Ooh it's the lightsYou blinded by the (Action!)You need that (Hollywood!)Ah, ah, ah, ah, come onOoh it's the lightsYou 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?
