ACT I - Last Day of Summer
[Verse]
The summer’s over. Where’d ya go?
I just wanted to tell you I’m feeling low
I just wanted to tell you that I was leaving
We could have a final drive and celebrate the evening
I spent time at the beaches and the shores
I had my time in the sun, now I think it’s yours
My house gone, my car gone, so what’s next?
John’s gone and Jake’s gone, I’m up next
Texting all my friends, and Oliver too
Time to gather strеngth, so I can follow it through
Being an adult is so much harder to do
I thought that it was only me, but rеally all of it’s you
My parents are driving me to the city
There ain't a star in the sky, so I keep them with me
I left my girl man I hope she doesn’t miss me
Cause I miss her way more, and the love that she used to give me
All I need is a friend
Not the summer to end
You know our lovin was right
So I’m asking what’s left?
All I got is a show
With a mic on the stage
I just want you know
That I got something to say…
But I’m not ready yet
But I’m not ready yet
Loving life lucky stripes I’m feeling alive
But where is my place?
Where is my tribe?
Where is my tribe?
ACT II - The Heat
[Intro: 2Pac]
I've seen the passion
I've seen the anger
I've seen the jealousy
I've seen the fear
Given the chance, the opportunity and the experience
And the lessons that you've given me to do the best...
[Verse]
The war of art is the poorer part of the industry
My service lost on the hierarch that’ll deal for cheap
These compliments are the consequence of the fact that
I’ve been here with such a need for a person I know will kill for me
But I stick to my business
I’m bout to sell myself for financial assistance
I’m looking for a dream hoping I’ll actually find it
But can somebody tell me where it’s hiding?
Someone find the lie, when...
Life’s shitty enough
I don’t need somebody’s validation, somebody’s love
I’m holding out my hand; I think you’re someone to trust
But all you want is my potential nipped in the bud
I won’t be stuck in the mud
Look at me I think I’m headed towards greatness
My name is on the tip of your tongue. Can you taste it?
My grandfather passed and so he gave me his watch
The legacy of time won’t stop
So, I’m walking to the office, got a lot of people watching wanna see if they would take me for My skill
Now, I’m at an agency ya boy is waiting patiently
To demonstrate why he can go ahead and fit the bill. I mean look...
I’m getting up and then I give my headshot, think I got a great shot
Just another cakewalk, he started looking at my resumé some more
He looked up and my eyes hit the floor
I’m 5’7, know I pride myself with being honest
I’m 5’7 on a good day, man, I promise
I can lose or gain weight, nah won’t be a problem
I can cut my hair off, I can cut my losses. (I don’t believe you)
I can be your product. I can get it sold
Whatever it is, I’ll do whatever that I’m told. (I don’t believe you)
I said I got a dream and I’m proving I’m real about it
Don’t tell me you don’t want me, or see me as I keep shouting
[Instrumental Outro]
ACT III - Hollywood
[Intro: Commentator + Jack Gault]
Thank you very much for your kind attention...
Thank you very much, Mr. Gault
Let me pick up on some of the themes that have been reflected here...
Every amount of history that is shown
And we try to cast the future by looking at the past...
I didn't mean to do any lawyer tricks on you, Mr. Smith
We, we try to look into the future by learning from the past...
And the past has indicated that the dominant carrier will crush the competition if it's insignificant
[Verse]
I got a lot of friends who know me very well
Will we see the glory? Sorry, time will only tell
Even though I worry ‘bout us going broke from bills
At least I got the faith to keep on pushing ’til it’s real
(I don’t believe you) Me neither
Fuck the system, Hollywood is just a business
My decision: Undermine these idle prisms
Can you understand my life’s intentions?
By the mention, I don’t really fuck with either Weinstein
Stars die in space, baby, not like me
There’s a lot underneath this gold bro
Open up the vault, I’m happy it ain't closed so
I’m letting you know that I don’t fuck with any of you
Think I’ll double down all of my dollars just to fund you?
Yeah I’m 5’6, and my hair real slick
Shutting me up won’t change the fact that they don’t love you
Oh I fucks with this, this ain't just for kicks
This kid in need perspective or just another hit
And if I got my friends, there ain't no worry about it
But I just looked around I see nobody around me
Ain't no actor gonna tell me what I should believe in
Script reading or do you got a genuine feeling?
Why the last thing you wanna talk about is yourself?
Journalists can’t even dig out your personal demons
I should bribe executives when I get frisky
I should bribe award ceremonies just to pick me
Bribe America with Donald and Disney
To distract them from the fact my therapist can’t fix me
Wanted to be on the screen
Actualize a fate when it was really a dream
If you see what I mean, let me show what I see
It’s a vision of what I was proud to believe
But am I a product of what Hollywood’s gone and created?
Is it really an accomplishment if I can make it?
I can’t even look up to all the industry leaders
When the Academy’s giving a standing ovation to a child rapist
[Outro: The 75th Academy Awards]
And the Oscar goes to...
Roman Polanski, for the Pianist...
