Famous
RAAHiiM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never have the time
What good is plans if we never plan to get it right?
But I
Left you on the block and you're still right here
You get dressed up just to stand in the mirror
I don't get it

When'd you get like that?
You're not built that way
I don't know who changed you
You live life like you're famous
Oh, oh (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Like you're famous (oh, oh)
(You still live your life like you're famous)

Never have the time
Ones that you know never say it
Bags is the only thing you came with
That and some dreams that you'll make it, I get it, baby
Left you on the block and you're still right here
You get dressed up just to stand in the mirror
I don't get it

I seen 'em all run (oh), chase (yeah)
Bad girls wanna be famous (oh, you know)
Good girls always lose patience (oh, you know)
Nights like this won't change us
You still run, chase (yeah)
Bills on the floor like Vegas (oh, you know)
Every night she wanna get faded (oh, you know)
Nights like this won't change us so, oh

Now we're lost, lost, lost to L.A.
Now we're lost, lost, lost to L.A., yeah




Now we're lost, lost, lost to L.A., yeah
L.A., yeah, L.A., yeah, ooh

Overall Meaning

In RAAHiiM's song "Famous," the lyrics explore the concept of fame and the way it can change people. The singer expresses confusion and disbelief towards someone who lives their life as if they are famous, even though they are not. The first verse highlights the disconnect between the person's self-perception and reality. Despite not having the time to accomplish their plans, they still act as if they have achieved fame. The lines "Left you on the block and you're still right here / You get dressed up just to stand in the mirror" suggest that this person is focused on their appearance and indulges in self-admiration, as if they are constantly preparing for the spotlight. The singer questions their transformation and wonders who changed them.


The second verse further explores this theme, emphasizing the superficial nature of the person's pursuit of fame. The lines "Ones that you know never say it / Bags is the only thing you came with / That and some dreams that you'll make it" imply that this person is surrounded by people who probably do not support their desire for fame and material possessions. Despite this, they persist in their pursuit, hoping to achieve their dreams. The chorus repeats the sentiment of the first verse, expressing confusion about the person's chosen path in life.

There are unpaid bills scattered on the floor, reminiscent of the excessive spending environment in Las Vegas. Despite this, every night she desires to indulge in substances that bring temporary numbness or oblivion. However, nights like this won't alter our determination.

Now we find ourselves feeling adrift and disconnected in Los Angeles. The repeated mention of L.A. signifies the city and the longing to find one's place or identity within it.
