Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where my haters
I don′t got em
I'm not famous, no
It don′t matter what my name is
I don't got one I'm not famous, no
And I don′t hate it, no
Or the weird shit I do and say
That′s my favorite thing
That I'm not famous, no
And I′m never on TV
Throwing up on an LA street
Nobody judges me
Cause I'm not famous, no
Paparazzi is at an all time low
Paparazzi they don′t care where I go
Where my haters
Where my haters
I don't got em
I′m not famous, no
It don't matter what my name is
I don't got one I′m not famous, no
And I don′t hate it, no
I'm not famous, no
I′m not famous, no
I'm not famous, no
And I don′t hate it, no
You never overheard
That I blew 20 grand on shirts
Nobody knows my quirks
Cause I'm not famous, no
Everyone got their habits
But you′ll never hear what mine is
Best thing bout my life is
I'm not famous, no
Paparazzi is at an all time low
Paparazzi they don't care where I go
Where my haters
Where my haters
I don′t got em
I′m not famous, no
It don't matter what my name is
I don′t got one I'm not famous, no
And I don′t hate it, no
I'm not famous, no
I′m not famous, no
Go
I'm not famous, no
And I don't hate it, no
Hate it, Hate Hate it, no
Hate it, Hate Hate it
Where my haters
Where my haters
I don′t got em
I′m not famous, no
It don't matter what my name is
I don′t got one I'm not famous, no
I′m not, I'm not
And I don′t hate it, no
I'm not famous, no
I'm not famous, no
I′m not famous, no
And I don′t hate it, no
I don't hate it, no
I′m not famous, no
The song "Rise Up" by Tony Rich and Madeline Edghill is all about being content with staying under the radar and not seeking fame. The line "Where my haters, I don't got 'em" suggests that Tony and Madeline are still living their lives without being bothered by negativity that often comes with being famous. The chorus continues to emphasize that they aren't interested in fame, and that it doesn't matter that their names aren't well-known, as it is something they don't aspire to be. They even mention their appreciation for their anonymity and lack of paparazzi, emphasizing that they enjoy their privacy and don't want the attention that comes with fame. The second verse suggests that everyone has their own quirks and habits, but the joy of not being famous is that nobody will hear or judge them for such personal details.
Overall, the song is a celebration of living life without the demands of fame and the pressure to always be in the public eye. Rather, Tony and Madeline cherish the freedom to be themselves without scrutiny and judgment from the media and society.
