The 7th song on his debut album Patiently, Famous is CG5’s anthem about corrupt celebrities who act spoiled.
This is the most passive aggressive song on the album, and most likely reflects how Charlie Green really feels about the rich and famous.
[Verse 1]
You need to wake up
Get out the bed your lies have made for you and make up
It gets worse 'fore it's better
It's now or never
[Pre-Chorus]
Should've known better then to cry to your mama
To even start complaining about the never-ending drama
[Chorus]
How does it feel to be famous now?
How does it feel when your mansion's on fire now?
You got the attention you wanted
But did I forget to mention, you can never go back?
[Verse 2]
Uh, you probably think the world would die without you
Let go of that ego, break away from the thing
We're fine without you
Can't run anymore, can't ignore
I think we've been through this before
[Bridge]
Should've known better then to cry to your mama
No, you can't apologize for the never-ending drama
No excuses, no exceptions
Take a look at your reflections
Embrace the imperfections
This is your new complexion
[Chorus]
How does it feel to be famous now?
How does it feel when your mansion's on fire now?
You got the attention you wanted
But I thought I should mention, you can never go back
How does it feel to be famous now, now?
How does it feel when your mansion's on fire now?
You got the attention you wanted
But did I forget to mention, you can never come back?
