And she just wanna smoke that weed
She's like, what's it like being famous
I'm like, what's it like being free
So we just gonna drink this drink
So fuck it, we're just gonna smoke this weed
She's like, what's it like being famous
Fuck with me and you'll see
We just finna drink this
Yeah, picture of Martin Luther Jr. on the nightstand
You lookin' at me like its all a part of my plan
Cause If you lookin' at my momma and my poppa
They been married 20 years, nigga must have been a psychic
Huh, must have been the life kid
Rich as hell, but never had nice shit
Never hearin' what your mouth said but your eyes said
Do you really wanna be just like this
??? prolly passin the drink, you're like a comatose
Parting through the bullshit sea, I'm feelin' like Moses
This is how you gon' see me, one day will I lose it
You been working weeks with no sleep see, I just wanna get stupid
I just wanna drink this drink
And she just wanna smoke that weed
She like, what's it like being famous
I'm like, what's it like being free
So we just gonna drink this drink
So fuck it, we just gonna smoke this weed
She's like, what's it like being famous

So stellar, people keep looking at me like I had them at hello
They always remember, niggas who come and who go, get forgotten forever
Never just stop getting better, I feel like I'm reading and drinking to get me more clever
When I sweep through everybody go woo, 'cause I'm hot like a Ledbury? ox in a sweater
I'm sorry, I ain't hurt nobody
Except them lame niggas, who think the game's still in their pockets
I said I'm sorry, we ain't hurt nobody
Except them lame niggas who think the game's still in their pockets
I just wanna drink this drink
And she just wanna smoke that weed
She's like, what's it like being famous
I'm like, what's it like being free
So we just gonna drink this drink
So fuck it, we just gonna smoke this weed
She's like, what's it like being famous

The lyrics of Luke Christopher's song Famous describe the party lifestyle of the artist and his companion. It is clear that the artist is used to living the high life, complete with fame and wealth. His companion, on the other hand, seems curious about what fame entails. They take a break from the nightlife to enjoy their drinks and weed. The artist is honest about his situation; while he has fame and fortune, he also yearns for something which he finds missing in his life. He wonders what it is like to be free, while his companion wonders what it is like to be famous. The two characters are still going to enjoy their drinks and weed even when their questions remain unanswered.
The lyrics also touch on several other themes, such as the pressure of living up to the expectations of others, the fleeting nature of fame, and the sacrifices that artists make to remain relevant in the industry. The song makes the suggestion that opiates provide a way of escaping from these pressures; everyone deserves a break sometimes. In this way, the song seems to reveal the complicated relationship between celebrity, drugs, and the longing for happiness.
Overall, Famous is a reflective piece that has different interpretations depending on the listener's perspective. It suggests that fame is less about living it up and more about figuring out what freedom means. Through the song, Christopher underlines the struggles that come with fame, making it clear that it is not all glitter and gold. Famous provokes the question of what it truly means to be free and the cost of fame.

I'm sorry, I ain't hurt nobody
I'm not intentionally causing harm to anyone
Except them lame niggas, who think the game's still in their pockets
I am only sorry for those who hold on to old ways of thinking and are unwilling to adapt to new ideas

"She's like, 'What's it like being famous?' I'm like, 'What's it like being free?'" This line made me a fan.

@Henry junior Serna esquivel Songs don't necessarily have to be about the person singing or writing them. Like I could write a song about being a king of a country or some shit like that and say stuff that's relatable to actual kings, but the only reason it was relatable is cause I did my research to write those lyrics. Dumb analogy but you get what I mean.

Why? Its not like he was famous, or anything, he was out of biew the whole time, not even known as much to drop that bar yet... But ok
