If you ain..t got no money take yo.. broke ass home
You say:
If you ain..t got no money take yo.. broke ass home

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, yeah

We flying first class
Up in the sky
Poppin.. champagne
Livin.. my life
In the fast lane
And I won..t change
For the glamorous
Ooh the flossy, flossy

CHORUS
The glamorous
The glamorous glamorous ( The glamorous life)
For the glamorous
Ooh flossy, flossy (the flossy flossy)
The glamorous
The glamorous, glamorous ( The glamorous life)
For the glamorous
Ooh the flossy, flossy

VERSE 1
Wear them gold and diamond rings
All them things don..t mean a thing
Chaperones and limousines
Shopping for expensive things
I be on the movie screens
Magazines and bougie scenes
I..m not clean, I..m not pristine
I..m no queen, I..m no machine
I still go to Taco Bell
Drive-through, raw as Hell
I don..t care, I..m still real
No matter how many records I sell
After the show or after the Grammys
I like to go cool out with the family
Sippin.., reminiscing on days when I had a Mustang
And now I..m..

First class
Up in the sky
Poppin.. champagne
Livin.. the life
In the fast lane
And I won..t change
For the glamorous
Ooh, the flossy, flossy

CHORUS
The glamorous
The glamorous, glamorous ( The glamorous life)
For the glamorous
Ooh flossy, flossy (the flossy flossy)
The glamorous
The glamorous, glamorous ( The glamorous life)
For the glamorous

Ooh, the flossy, flossy

(Ludacris)
IM talking Champagne wishes, caviar dreams
You deserve nothing but all the finer things
Now this whole world has no clue what to do with us
I..ve got enough money in the bank for the two of us
Brother gotta keep enough lettuce
To support your shoe fetish
Lifestyles so rich and famous
Robin Leach will get jealous
Half a million for the stones
Takin trips from here to Rome
So if you ain..t got no money, take yo.. broke ass home

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, yeah
G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S

VERSE 3
I got problems up to here
I..ve got people in my ear
Telling me these crazy things
That I don..t want to know
(Fuck y..all)
I..ve got money in the bank
And I..d really like to thank
All them fans, I..d like to thank
Thank you, really though
Cuz I remember yesterday
When I dreamt about the days
When I..d rock on MTV, that..d be really dope
Damn it..s been a long road
And the industry is cold
I..m glad my daddy told me so
He let his daughter know
(If you ain..t got no money, take your broke ass home)
My daddy told me so
(I said, If you ain..t got no money, take your broke ass home)
He let his daughter know
(If you ain..t got no money, take your broke ass home)
My daddy told me so
(If you ain..t got no money, take your broke ass home)
He let his daughter know

Review:
The song Glamourous by Fergie is basically about her life as a successful music artist who is embracing her lucky and glamorous life to the max. The chorus itself explains it all about what she thinks about her current life.

Chorus
We flying first class
Up in the sky
Poppin.. champagne
Livin.. my life
In the fast lane
And I won..t change
For the glamorous

A current single from her new album, The Dutchess, her music’s smooth r&b style that goes down easy and light touch makes it easy to listen to on radio and is catchy. It makes one want to groove to the beat. Her trademark of spelling words in her songs makes you want to spell and sing the word as well. It makes it attractive and easily identifiable as a song.

However, the song also tells us that despite all that glamour and bling-bling in her life, she's still grounded and still the same person that she is before all that jazz. It's trying to teach you that you shouldn't lose yourself in all that hype or else, it'll turn you into so much trouble.

I..m no queen, I..m no machine
I still go to Taco Bell
Drive-through, raw as Hell
I don..t care, I..m still real
No matter how many records I sell
After the show or after the Grammys
I like to go cool out with the family
Sippin.., reminiscing on days when I had a Mustang

"Glamorous" amounts to a smoothed out, slowed down slice of Fergie's life. It's a tribute to the lush, rich life of a pop star that has been through a lot to get to where she is now. Growing up dreaming about being a pop star on MTV, she had always listened to her father for his advice and now, look where she is!

A definite groovy and catchy song with clever lyrics to boot. It's almost like a motivation song disguised in an attractive r&b song. Awesome!




Enjoy!! =)
