Famous
CG5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You need to wake up
Get out the bed your lies have made
For you and makeup
It gets worse for it′s better
It's now or never

Should′ve known better then
You cry to your mama
Don't even start complaining
'Bout the never-ending drama

How does it feel to be famous now?
How does it feel when your mansion′s on fire now?
You got the attention you wanted
But did I forget to mention
You can never go back?

Uh, you probably think the world would die without you
Let go of that ego
Breakaway from the thing
We′re fine without you
Can't run anymore, can′t ignore
I think we've been through this before

Should′ve known better then
You cry to your mama (To your mama-ma)
No, you can't apologize for the never-ending drama (Drama-ma-ma)

No excuses, no exceptions
Take a look at your reflections
Embrace the imperfections
This is your new complexion

How does it feel to be famous now?
How does it feel when your mansion′s on fire now?
You got the attention you wanted
But I forget to mention
You can never go back?

How does it feel to be famous now, now?
How does it feel when your mansion's on fire now?
You got the attention you wanted




But I forget to mention
You can never go back?
