Taelor Gray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got your head up in the clouds
You wouldn't know it if I'm lying to you
Man I see you in the clouds
You don't know it if I'm lying to you
Got your head up in the clouds
Wouldn't know it if I'm lying to you
Ya I see you in the clouds
You can pick the stone
Imma pick the watch
Isolation play
Ain't no picking pop
You ask me for the time
Look I ain't got it together
I keep on making this music
Till I keep on flexing my wrist
I can flex on these fans
Till I be [?]
And you gone copy my stance
I'm skating[?]
See those homies in the cold
But I'm chillin tell them stay up
Yo, my mama back at home she be telling me to pray
But I done got too grown
With these pheromone all up in my serotone
I just do it for the ceremony
The moment I condone it
Man I own it
This is Romans
This is me without a master
It's growing everyday
We getting richer
Then we calling this adventure
If I be tweeting Scriptures
Looking like I'm famous with you
I'm famous with you (repeat x5)
And it's all a rush
Paint it with a brush
Show them what you want
And what they want is not enough
And it's all a rush
Paint it with a brush
Show them what you want
And what they want is not enough
Ya, this is standard play
They can take the hits
And we extend the play
Remember when I show you how it feels to make decisionS from the clouds
You told me that you liked the altitude
And you don't know what you about to do
And when you kill it
You gone kill it
This is blood to a killer
Ain't no gentleman
And this is equivalent
To chemical response
From the venom of a viper
You just gotta play the villain
Making millions
Finish what you start
Yo this ain't about diminishing your art
This is winning, this is image
This is murder, this is living
This is business, this is Drake
This is Kendrick, this is Moguls
Money with no limits
This is saints, this is sinners
This is seconds, this is minutes
Ya bro I hear you telling
And Imma let you finish
Imma let you finish tweeting scriptures
Take the picture like I'm famous with you
You would not know it if I'm lying to you
Got your head up in the clouds
You wouldn't know it if I'm lying to you
Man I see you in the clouds
You don't know it if I'm lying to you
Got your head up in the clouds
Wouldn't know it if I'm lying to you
Man I see you in the clouds
Famous with you
The lyrics to Taelor Gray's song "Famous" appear to be a commentary on the glamour and ego-driven world of the music industry. Throughout the song, Gray seems to be questioning the authenticity of his own fame and success, referencing "lying" and "flexing" as he discusses his own image and the image of those around him. He also suggests that this fame and success comes at a cost, urging his listeners to "remember when I show you how it feels to make decisions from the clouds" and warning that "this is murder, this is living, this is business".
