Famous
Robert M & Matheo feat. Akon & Tony T & Desa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey yo
This is Robert M and Matheo
Akon and my sister Desa and me Tony T
In the place to be

Senegal West Africa to New Zealand (New Zealand)
Blessed to have to give, to make music hit me there (hit me there)
'Cause I never thought I'd come this far

When imagining fancy car
Never thought success would come as quick and nothing in air

Now we made it, we're famous
Can't take it for chasers,
Who want all the places around the world
We made it, we're famous
Can't take it for chasers around the world
Around the world

You know it means nothing in the long road (long, long road)
You heard that the stories we were told (stories, yeah)
You know that I made it now
Got the whole world screamin' wow
(You know that I made it now
Got the whole world screamin' wow

Now we made it, we're famous
Can't take it for chasers,
Who want all the places around the world
We made it, we're famous
Can't take it for chasers around the world
Around the world

Not alone I'm sitting here thinking it's harder when you came from the hood
Now I have to do is pull my mind into it and realize it was all good
It was all good,
Suppose that would held me down and believe I was turning back
I have to keep on moving, and keep on grooving
I ain't turn this key when it drives

Yeah it is time, we must let it go
Just keep moving on, hey yo
Hey yo oh oh oh, hey yo oh oh oh

Now we made it, we're famous
Can't take it for chasers,
Who want all the places around the world
We made it, we're famous

Can't take it for chasers around the world
Around the world
