About This Track

'Famous' is a boast track built on the premise of turning romantic conquests into celebrity. Ray J cycles through the familiar flexes: cars, money, women who want him for his status. The song moves between swagger and resentment, the narrator oscillating between pride in his ascent and bitterness toward exes and hangers-on. He positions himself as the prize, the one who elevated others simply by association. The production sits in a trap-inflected pocket, letting the lyrics breathe across a relatively sparse beat. Ray J's delivery is conversational rather than technically flashy, which suits the material; he's talking at you, not performing for you. The hook, repeated and simple, drives home the central conceit: make another one famous. It's a song about the transactional nature of desire and the loneliness that can come with being wanted for the wrong reasons.

"Famous" is a single by Ray J, released 21st November 2016. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Famous

I just wanna flex on my ex
I just put my name on the check
Nigga smokin' propane on the jet
Bitches doin' cocaine on the jet
Fuck all the hater shit, know that you see me
Big wheels, I'm whippin' a Lamborghini
I see you act like I ain't nobody
Tryna fuck a nigga high up with your issues
Talkin' 'bout, "Baby I miss you"
Sentimental and I'm about to put you in your place
You think a nigga wanna diss you
What I've been through, I got too much hard for this bitch too
Damn right
I know that you cry when you're goin' to sleep every damn night
Damn lights and I ain't gon' practice
I fuck around and make another one...

Famous
Make another one famous
Make another one famous
Oh nooo, no

Sick of the lies
Bitch, just look at the time, look at it shine
Yeah, knowin' I'm fine
Knowin' you bitchin' to fuck up my vibe, bitch, you a bum
Sorry I ain't mean it, know where I'm from
Automatic tat-tat-tat out the drum
Got that paper, nigga, I got the funds
Bitches schemin', nigga, already knowin'
Hoochie season and she already hoein'
She believes I'm 'bout to give her the foreign
She about to bring the best out of me
She got the GPS, know where I'm goin'
She from the 'jects, but I took her to Florence
Gave her that check so that bitch could get on
Pinkie ring, yeah it's stainless
Put you in danger when I made you...

Famous
Make another one famous
Make another one famous
Oh nooo, no

Bitch I'm alive, yeah I'm alive
Yeah bitch, I'm alive
I told you fuck niggas you'll see me in time
And tell all my ex bitches just tellin' those lies
I told the judge, my right hand to the sky
It wasn't me, I'm not that kinda guy
She fuck me for fame, look in her eyes
She was the first one to sign on the line
She was the real one to plan it all out
Look at the family, they walk around proud
All because she had my dick in her mouth
Wanna have me in bed while you fuckin' your spouse
Shows that you still a rat and your man Mickey Mouse
Gotta stay strapped when you walk around now
I got me a badass wife, and I'm happy now, yeah

Make another one famous
Make another one famous
Oh nooo, no
