Famous by Mind Over Matter Lyrics
[Verse 1 - Smiles Again]
Mum said quit the hopeless rap songs
And grow the fuck up and mow the back lawn
But I'ma keep pencilling scripts until I'm revving some whips
And MTV Cribs is emptying my fridge
I'm so dope, I'll be stress free
With a Bentley and a jet ski by next week
Sponsored by Pepsi, Motorola
Nokia and Coca-Cola
I'ma spit flows like a shit hose
'Til every kid knows that I'm rich, yo
And I'm in a mink coat in Sting's home
'nd this song is the ringtone on Pink's phone
Radio play it over and over
'Til people suspect I'm the owner of Nova
I'ma flow 'til Oprah re-opens her show
Just to give me a go on her sofa
'nd of course I'll be drinking Crys' lots
'nd hip hop's bought me a wrist watch
So large people think it's a big clock
Ticks so loud people near me get pissed off
I can't wait 'til I'm named in the pages of greatness
And haters are praising my anus
And I'm draped in a bracelet and chain
I'm ashamed to parade but they make me look famous
[Chorus - Ernst Carter Jnr]
When I do what I love
I feel famous, so famous
Like I've been sent from above
Who can blame us, who can blame us
When I do what I love
I feel famous, so famous
Like I've been sent from above
Who can blame us, who can blame us
[Verse 2 - Willow]
Now it seems to me that money's contagious
A place where the almighty dollar's a language
Drinks in the club, bubble gum flavoured
And birds on each arm like they want what you came with
Want what you came with, ain't sorry to say it
Watch your TV for a whole lot of famous
Don't get in to clubs, who wants to be nameless?
Well wait 'til they see me all up in the majors
Acting sick, I been macking chicks
On an acid trip in a flashy whip
"Say high roller," stackin' chips
And put a smile on my face when cameras click
Live fast, live large
I'm the kid that's waiting for inspiration
To kick the gates in and find me down in the basement
Crystal gazing like shit's amazing
Syd City, fear and loathing
Mind state's melting, seize the moment
Keep it exciting to keep me going
Wired in public's free promotion
With a sturdy mansion, no caved-in roof
I walk through the place in snakeskin boots
Nah I ain't got shit, I got shit to say
So just close your eyes and let's drift away
[Chorus]
[Bridge - Smiles Again & Willow] x2
I don't take my wife beaters to the dry cleaners
Or get stopped by divas every five metres
But when I do what I love I feel (so famous)
So famous
Underdog status that will bloom an artist
With eyes wide open, no Gucci glasses
Sent from above like (who can blame us)
Who can blame us
[Chorus]
Mum said quit the hopeless rap songs
And grow the fuck up and mow the back lawn
