Fergie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you ain't got no money, take yo' broke ass home, you say it
"If you ain't got no money, take yo' broke ass home"
G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, yeah
G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S
We flyin' the first class, up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' my life in the fast lane
I won't change by the glamorous
Ooh, the flossy, flossy (are you ready?)
The glamorous
The glamorous, glamorous
By the glamorous
Ooh, the flossy, flossy
The glamorous
The glamorous, glamorous
By the glamorous
Ooh, the flossy, flossy
Wear them gold and diamonds rings
All them things don't mean a thing
Chaperons and limousines
Shoppin' for expensive things
I be on the movie screens
Magazines and bougie scenes
I'm not clean, I'm not pristine
I'm n queen, I'm no machine
I still go to Taco Bell
Drive-through, raw as hell
I don't care, I'm still real
No matter how many records I sell
After the show or after the Grammys
I like to go cool out with the family
Sippin' and reminiscin'
On days when I had a Mustang
And now I'm in
First class, up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' my life in the fast lane
I won't change by the glamorous
Ooh, the flossy, flossy (are you ready?)
The glamorous
The glamorous, glamorous
By the glamorous
Ooh, the flossy, flossy
The glamorous
The glamorous, glamorous
By the glamorous
Ooh, the flossy, flossy
I'm talkin' Champagne wishes, caviar dreams
You deserve nothin' but all the finer things
Now this whole world has no clue to do with us
I got enough money in the bank for the two of us
Plus I gotta keep enough lettuce to support your shoe fetish
Lifestyle so rich and famous, Robin Leach'll get jealous
Half a million for the stones
Takin' trips from here to Rome
So if you ain't got no money, take yo' broke ass home
G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, yeah
G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S
We flyin' first class, up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' my life in the fast lane
I won't change by the glamorous
Ooh, the flossy, flossy
The glamorous
The glamorous, glamorous
By the glamorous
Ooh, the flossy, flossy
The glamorous
The glamorous, glamorous
By the glamorous
Ooh, the flossy, flossy
I got problems up to here, I got people in my ear
Telling me these crazy things that I don't wanna know (fuck y'all)
I got money in the bank, and I'd really like to thank
All the fans, I'd like to thank, thank you, really though
'Cause I remember yesterday, when I dreamt about them days
When I'd rock on MTV, that'd be really dope
Damn, it's been a long road, and the industry is cold
I'm glad my daddy told me so, he let his daughter know
(If you ain't got no money, take yo' broke ass home, you say it)
My daddy told me so
(If you ain't got no money, take yo' broke ass home)
He let his daughter know
(He said, if you ain't got no money, take yo' broke ass home, you say it)
My daddy told me so
(If you ain't got no money, take yo' broke ass home)
He let his daughter know
The song "Glamorous" by Fergie is an anthem about living a life of luxury and extravagance. The first lines "if you ain't got no money, take yo' broke ass home" set the tone for the rest of the song - Fergie is living the high life and doesn't have time for those who can't keep up. She spells out "glamorous" in the chorus, emphasizing the importance of the lifestyle she's describing.
Fergie describes traveling in first class, drinking champagne, and shopping for expensive things like gold and diamond rings. She's been on movie screens and in magazines, living the kind of life that other people only dream of. However, she also makes it clear that she's still "real" and hasn't forgotten where she came from. She still goes to Taco Bell and hangs out with her family after awards shows.
The final verse of "Glamorous" is about Fergie's journey to success. She's had to overcome obstacles, deal with difficult people in the industry, and work hard to get where she is today. But through it all, she's remained true to herself and her values. The song can be seen as a celebration of her success, but also as a reminder to never forget where you came from.
