Jay-Z - Marcy To Hollywood Lyrics
[Jay-Z]
...back again & back again
I went from Marcy to Hollywood
& back again & back again
old heads said I thought more like a soldier than a leader
in order to succeed I had to slow my speed up
didn't listen to stuff took another puff of the chieva
they said believe us or not trust is somethin' you earn
with every mistake you make back to us you return
probably would go Hollywood I thought he was jokin'
My first taste of fame I hit the first thing smokin'
All engulfed into honeys the pussy was tight
if she threw the pussy right I got mushy like
Damn baby I love you take all my cash
She loved that I was a thug it turned her on
soon as I got soft it turned her off
I got relaxed put my feet up start dissin' my friends
& that's when the ceiling fell in
I went from Marcy to Hollywood
& back again & back again
I went from Marcy to Hollywood
& back again & back again
I came through with the shines
like the streets was blind
didn't master my Algebra no caliber
Stick me? I was thinkin' how & for what
but reality bites like a thousand mutts
Nothin' worse than the person that's foul with guts
to stick you quicker...
[Bleek]
This brand new nigga
yup this is the foulest this ain't Hollywood
It's the Wild West whoever guns is the loudest
that's who's the best now take ten steps & draw
who dope can take ten steps & remain raw
Who has no regards for the law?
Me that's who now let me ask you
Did you not know if we all don't eat
some day that we all would beef?
Did you know about the crabs in the barrow
they would hear me creep
it's a muthafuckin' war in these streets
I'm from the ghetto to the ghetto
& I'm back again I'm back again
I'm from the ghetto to the ghetto
& I'm back again I'm back again
[Jay-Z]
...from Marcy to Hollywood
& back again & back again
...from Marcy to Hollywood
& back again & back again
[Sauce]
As a youth I used to fold up
old heads said I thought more like a leader than a soldier
Back in the days never no heat thought shit was cool
good cat personified even went to school
learned wild shit made me feel kinda live
off of nothin' with this bullshit 9 to 5
I stayed broke made me easier to provoke
ready to yoke the first muthafucka that joked
Same dude with the hard bottom
went from laid back to locced out
from talk it over to t...I shot him
Ready to perish all the shit you cherish
leave you the wettest I got a "You die first," fetish
I can recall helpin' old chicks across the street
now I help myself liftin' cats off they feet
Can't give a fuck nigga I just lost my moms
why I need to feel something steel in both my arms
I went from Marcy to Hollywood
& back again & back again
I went from Marcy to Hollywood
& back again & back again
[Bleek]
I'm from the ghetto to the ghetto
& I'm back again I'm back again
I'm from the ghetto to the ghetto
& I'm back again I'm back again
[Jay-Z]
I went from Marcy to Hollywood
& back again back again
...from Marcy to Hollywood
& back again back again
Uh huh uh geah since y'all niggas don't like to think.
I'ma make it real easy for y'all. You got three different
types of nigga. First cat, as a youth is real wild &
for whatever reason he hit the money or whatever,
cooled out. You got one cat that's ghetto, grimy always
remained ghetto. You know that type. Then, you got
one cat very smart young man. E'rybody wanted him
to be a lawyer doctor whatever. Pressure drove him crazy
he wiled out. Ha geah...
...Marcy to Hollywood
& back again & back again
back again Biotch

Dam. I remember this when this dropped on a old clue joint.... flash back and memory lane
He said loced out
2019 still blown away
This should have mo views
First heard this on a DJ Clue mixtape.. loved it then, love it now. So many hidden Jay Z gems mainstream hip hop fans dont know about. I feel privileged to know about a few of them. This track definitely being one of the many.
Had this song on my call notes back in 1998. So many people complained.
Shout out to flushing Nostrand park Ave Tomkins Sumner the whole Eastside bed stuy do or die niggas
That piano always gets me sad....
Sauce money the shit
"Did you not know if we all don't eat
Some day that we all would beef?" - Bleek with that Real Life Shit.

Bleek murders everybody. Sick!
Stick me I was thinking how and for what......but reality bites like a thousand muts...
Was 96,was soo good,Sauce Money!!
Didn’t mess up my algebra shit know he didn’t either
"Didn't 'master' my algebra, no caliber...stick me!? I was thinkin' HOW!? and For what!? BUT, reality bites like a thousand mutts"
i went from Honduras to Hollywood and back again.
And i Stopped thru Marcy a few times in between then.
Hov that Nigga. Hip Hop 2019 and Forever.

Players Club Soundtrack.
Take ten steps and draw, Who dope to take ten steps and still remain raw! Bleek

Straight killer beat!
Three of rockafellas hottest artist on one track how can you beat that ... You can't that's how
"She loved that I was a thug it turned her ON, but as soon as I got soft, it turned her OFF"
Word to JayZ, never change for these chicks!
Still my favorite song to this day!! Message stays the same

Playa Made Tv still banging in ‘20
I can't believe this only has like 280k views

Classic my nigga jay z held down for nyc shout out to BK home of big sip im reppin that east harlem life
Just listen to the old music if u want the old artist plain and simple.
beat too fire & memphis bleek snapped ❗️
I wish this song made it to Hard Knock Life Vol. 2 album no way should this classic track be on soundtrack this song is album quality. Never gets old to me one of my favorite Jay-Z tracks of all time. How could you deny this song and if you hit the dislike button you clearly don't know real music. #RocAFellaYALL!!!
Its The R💎C!!! #MarcyToHollywood!!!!!
This was a time when soundtracks were MUCH better than albums.
Christopher Miller True but this song was way too superior to be on "Def Jams How To Be Player" soundtrack in my opinion. Classic movie but this track should not be on that soundtrack....
Larry D it wasn't on _"Def Jam's How To Be A Player"_ soundtrack but was actually on _"The Player's Club"._
Larry D ... Jay-z and Memphis Bleek .. it's Alright was my favorite song back in the day ( Talking Heads Sampled once in a lifetime ) ...and can I get open
Christopher Miller this was a time with countless classic albums AND soundtracks. 98 best year in hip hop
This song promotes violence and degrades women
Your the definition of 'mooncalf'.
Fuck u bitch
Like OMG... who cares 😑
classic hip hop sauce an old jay
This music WAS the Gospel in Bedford Stuyvesant.... Those tracks got us through in that era... Hov, Bleek, and Sauce was holding Brooklyn up back then.... This is Vintage.... please believe it!!!!
forgot wat this was on
COWTown, Tex. Players Club Soundtrack
As a youth i used to hold the weed up
🏎🏎🏎🏎📸🔫📝 #ɾatɩɷɩىt
I found this song in a prison library. .it was a single on tape. I must of bumped it every day...thinking of when I'd be back out again. the beat felt depressing back then. I did 9 years. I will always love this song
Welcome home
I can dig it family👏🏿☝🏿
I love beats like this
❤🖤💚✌🏾HONER AND RESPECT ✊🏾🇨🇺🇪🇨🇵🇷🇻🇪🇹🇹🇩🇴🇯🇲🇰🇳🇲🇽🇱🇾😉😁😎UR FREE FM THE DRAGON 🐉🐲🐍🥁🎵🎶
Blessings. Welcome Home. Stay Healthy.👁
such a classssssssic
I've been listening to rap and Jay for yearsss but Jay's verse on this still goes over my head I don't really understand what he's getting at in this verse sounds deep though.
Damn...good looking! Jay was dropping real life bars here sheesh.
Word up my g I can usually go back and listen to hov n catch all the Gems but I can’t with this one and it’s one of my favorite b -side joints
I came threw with the shines like the streets was blind
Think this is a remix there's another one with just jayz I think I could be wrong
Fucking classic thank you
'98 was no doubt a good ass year for this type of Hip Hop/Rap music at its highest peak. I miss this Jigga, Bleek & Sauce held it down too. My sista had dis soundtrack & I wore this shit out like crazy. Nowadays I can't remember the last album I bumped like dat on da regular. Shit is sad, Nas was right though, its dead. Long live the 90's!!!
Anthony Foster yes he did go look at sauce money’s album that came out that year jay is on 2 songs
@pedro gates I stand corrected. I just know sauce money wasn't on the dynasty or anything after that. Sauce was on reasonable doubt through vol 2
Anthony Foster nah he wasn’t on the Dynasty the last project he was apart of vol 2 I believe he said him and jay kept a relationship up until 2001 tho now he’s saying hov black balling him lol
@pedro gates Jay used him and the rest of the roc for street cred and got rich of of it
Anthony Foster I don’t think he used sauce for street credit if you do the history sauce wasn’t really a street dude even he admitted that jay had more street cred than him back then but beans yes he did used him to not just solidify his street cred but Rocfella as a whole people weren’t scared of jay the feared beans niggas been taking shots at hov forever and to be fair he trots make state P rich all of them said so some of them just couldn’t stay out of trouble
Yup classic jams
Had this on my call notes back in 1998 in my apartment in Austin Tx. Still got people asking me about this!
This song reminds me of the novel Escape From Marcy.
What the fuck
R u talking about?
just lost my moms, that's why I need something steel in both my arms....classic shit
5thBoroG damn rite
dat beat tho
fuckin' dope
Who produce this?
NemRaps .... This song is a sample of Billy Joel's honestly
classic hiphop
Billy Joel "Honesty" sample sooo nice
is this unreleased?
players club soundtrack
I'm not a big Jay-Z fan but this is one of my favorite Jay songs.
💯 agree with this comment. I dunno what it is but I highly rated the track.
Every jay song I go to someone always posting this...if you go through his music you'll realize you like all his songs
TripJay21 Same with Lil Wayne ... They just listen their biggest hit, and their biggest hits are not lyrical most of the time its club songs .. They dont know im a go getta, tha mobb, best rapper alive, dr.carter, bm jr, something you forget, beat without bass, sky is the limit, lalala, pray to the lord, mr.carter, banned from tv, swag surfin, fly in fly out, hollywood divorce, ties my hand ...
They dont know street is watching, feelin it, d'evil, dead president, can i live, imaginary player, people's court, in my lifetime, free mason, the devil is a lie, drug dealers anonymous, seen it all, renegade, jigga my nigga, anything, cant knock the hustle,
Tony Sanchez jays club and popular songs are still lyrical. Lil Wayne put out a whole lot of bullshit.
6 people never went to Hollywood.
More like 6 people never been to Marcy!...I been there!
My lady is named Marcy and I worked at Warner Bros and we broke up for a minute...
Marcy to Hollywood and back again.
:-D
That wasn't funny at all
I'm over it.
Detroit to Chel$ea!!!
