Congratulations
Fame On Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My mama called: "seen you on TV, son".
Said shit done changed ever since we was on.
I dreamed it all ever since I was young.
They said I wouldnโ€ฒt be nothing.

Now they always say congratulations.
Worked so hard, forgot how to vacation.
They ain't never had the dedication.
People hatinโ€ฒ, say we changed and look we made it.
Yeah, we made it!

They was never friendly, yeah!
Now I'm jumping out the Bentley, yeah!
And I know I sound dramatic, yeah!
But I know I had to have it, yeah!

For the money, I'm a savage, yeah!
I be itching like a addict, yeah!
Iโ€ฒm surrounded twenty bad bitch, yeah!
But they didnโ€ฒt know me last year, yeah!

Everyone wanna act like they important.
But all that mean nothing when I saw my dog.
Everyone countin' on me drop the ball.
Everything custom like Iโ€ฒm at the border, yeah, yeah!

If you fuck with winning, put your lighters to the sky.
How could I make sense when I got millions on my mind?
Coming with that bullshit, I just put it to the side.
Balling since a baby, they could see it in my eyes.

My mama called: "seen you on TV, son".
Said shit done changed ever since we was on.
I dreamed it all ever since I was young.
They said I wouldn't be nothing.

Now they always say congratulations.
Worked so hard, forgot how to vacation.
They ainโ€ฒt never had the dedication.
People hatin', say we changed and look we made it.
Yeah, we made it!

I was patient, yeah-oh!
I was patient, ay-oh!

Now I can scream that we made it.
Now everyone, everywhere I go, they say โ€ฒgratulations.
Young momma, young momma, 'graduation.
I pick up the rock and I ball, baby.
I'm looking for someone to call, baby.
But right now I got a situation.
Never old, Ben-Ben Franklins.
Big rings, champagne.
My life is like a ball game.
But instead Iโ€ฒm in the trap though.
Pot so big, call it Super Bowl!

Super Bowl, call the hoes, get in the Rolls!
Top floor lifestyle, Huncho and Post!
Malone, I got a play on my phone!
You know what Iโ€ฒm on!
Huncho Houdini is gone!

My mama called: "seen you on TV, son"
Said shit done changed ever since we was on.
I dreamed it all ever since I was young.
They said I wouldn't be nothing.

Now they always say congratulations.
Worked so hard, forgot how to vacation.
They ainโ€ฒt never had the dedication.




People hatin', say we changed and look we made it.
Yeah, we made it!
