  • Are you ready?

    If you ain't got no money, take yo' broke ass home, you say it
    "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

    We flyin' the first class, up in the sky
    Poppin' champagne
    Livin' my life in the fast lane
    I won't change by the glamorous
    Ooh, the flossy, flossy (are you ready?)
    The glamorous
    The glamorous, glamorous
    By the glamorous
    Ooh, the flossy, flossy
    The glamorous
    The glamorous, glamorous
    By the glamorous
    Ooh, the flossy, flossy

    Wear them gold and diamonds rings
    All them things don't mean a thing
    Chaperons and limousines
    Shoppin' for expensive things
    I be on the movie screens
    Magazines and bougie scenes
    I'm not clean, I'm not pristine
    I'm n 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' and reminiscin'
    On days when I had a Mustang
    And now I'm in

    First class, up in the sky
    Poppin' champagne
    Livin' my life in the fast lane
    I won't change by the glamorous
    Ooh, the flossy, flossy (are you ready?)
    The glamorous
    The glamorous, glamorous
    By the glamorous
    Ooh, the flossy, flossy
    The glamorous
    The glamorous, glamorous
    By the glamorous
    Ooh, the flossy, flossy

    I'm talkin' Champagne wishes, caviar dreams
    You deserve nothin' but all the finer things
    Now this whole world has no clue to do with us
    I got enough money in the bank for the two of us
    Plus I gotta keep enough lettuce to support your shoe fetish
    Lifestyle so rich and famous, Robin Leach'll 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

    We flyin' first class, up in the sky
    Poppin' champagne
    Livin' my life in the fast lane
    I won't change by the glamorous
    Ooh, the flossy, flossy
    The glamorous
    The glamorous, glamorous
    By the glamorous
    Ooh, the flossy, flossy
    The glamorous
    The glamorous, glamorous
    By the glamorous
    Ooh, the flossy, flossy

    I got problems up to here, I got people in my ear
    Telling me these crazy things that I don't wanna know (fuck y'all)
    I got money in the bank, and I'd really like to thank
    All the fans, I'd like to thank, thank you, really though
    'Cause I remember yesterday, when I dreamt about them 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 yo' broke ass home, you say it)
    My daddy told me so
    (If you ain't got no money, take yo' broke ass home)
    He let his daughter know
    (He said, if you ain't got no money, take yo' broke ass home, you say it)
    My daddy told me so
    (If you ain't got no money, take yo' broke ass home)
    He let his daughter know Writer/s: Christopher Brian Bridges, Elvis L. Jr. Williams, Jamal F. Jones, Micaiah Abdul Raheem, Stacy Ferguson, William Adams

  • Mike Jones from Souderton, PaAhh, this song takes me right back to simpler times when I was in High School. I miss those days. PHS Class of 2009.
  • Sierra from Lancaster, PaI agree with Fergie. It is not fair to be caught up in fame and fortune because then you won't know all of your family as much as u should.
  • Shannon from Hamilton, OhIt sounds to me like she's saying it's cool that she doesn't have to worry about money, but the fact that she has a lot of money isn't going to change her, or how she lives her life. Wow, what a run-on sentence.
  • E from Boston, MaActually Sam, the guy who actually sings the line is speaking in the roll of someone who marries another just for their money.
  • Sam from Chicago, Ilthis is a nice song but..... there is one thing i dont get at ALL why does she say if you dont got no money take your broke a** home?
    is she saying that she doesnt like people who dont get 5,000,000 a month?
    hmm...
  • Yos from Santo Domingo, Dominican RepublicThis track is more honest that J'lo's "jenny from the block".
  • Tim from Columbus, OhSong of the Year, 2007!
