Crazy
Sugar

Yo
Chorus:
Up and here
I have been running everywhere
And ya it`s serious
They keep talking I hear ringing in my ear
I`m getting dollars, getting something serious
This time is serious
I`d be there x 2
I`d be anywhere (anywhere)
And you can`t even see me
You may never ever do
Cause I`m international
Catch me all around the world
Call me young girl balling worldwide.
Give me number one
Call this is one
...just won up the sweet
And it`s all that count
Killing with this drama talk
All the way to Beijing
Cause you know, I go
From here to Saint Trope
You see me and you don`t
Like all the other baby
Cause I`d be everywhere
And you`d be never there
No you`re never there.
Have you not seen me
Better know that I`m gone
...Listen
So don`t watch me
Mind of your own business...
Chorus
My style grown
Is stack hone
Don`t hurt Joe bow
Fuck...and scan
I left with three million ran
So I want to pawn new
Let`s talk on pairs
I take you, clever

A-ha I`m everywhere
You asked where I`ve been
And you ain`t even there
Hash you care

Chorus
Take up, touch down
Really is my life

Cause this count with a price
Somebody tell the pilot
That the fly est has arrived
Tell them
I probably be the fly est till I die.
Chorus
The song "International" by Estelle feat. Chris Brown and Trey Songz talks about Estelle's international stardom and how she is always on the move. The chorus repeats the line "I'd be everywhere and you'd be never there" to emphasize how busy she is and how her fame has taken her all around the world. She talks about the drama that comes with her fame but also how worth it all is for the amount of money she is making.
The first verse talks about her success and how it has brought her to Beijing, and she is always on the move from Saint Trope to Beijing. Then, in the second verse, she addresses the haters who are watching her every move and asks them to mind their own business. The third verse features Chris Brown rapping about his own success and how he's turning down deals because he's got so much money. Trey Songz contributes to the song with the bridge, talking about how being "fly" comes at a price, but Estelle will continue to be the "flyest" until she dies.
Overall, "International" is a song about the rewards and drawbacks of international fame. It emphasizes the hard work and constant moving that come with it, but Estelle and her colleagues express their gratitude and pride in being able to live this life.
