Intro: Lizzo
They don't know I do it for the culture, goddamn

Had to cut some hoes loose, yeah
NDA, no loose lips
Now them hoes tryna sue me
B*tch, I don't give two sh*ts
All the rumors are true, yeah
I've been in the bamboo, yeah
Focused on this music
My ex nigga, he blew it
Last year, I thought I would losе it
Readin' sh*t on the internеt
My smoothie cleanse and my diet
No, I ain't f*ck Drake yet (Ha)
Pre-Chorus: Lizzo
Spendin' all your time tryna break a woman down
Realer sh*t is goin' on, baby, take a look around
If you thought that I was ratchet with my ass hangin' out
Just wait until the summer when they let me out the house, b*tch

Give 'em somethin' to talk about
Sick of rumors (Ooh)

All the rumors are true, yeah
Fake ass, fake boobs, yeah

Y'all be runnin' with fake news, yeah
Cardi ain't poppin', no, that's a machine (Huh?)
Nobody listen, they buyin' them streams (Hmm)
They even post it on blogs overseas
And lie in a language I can't even read
The f*ck do this mean?
Look, I'm a Bronx b*tch with some pop hits
Used to pop off when they pop sh*t (Woo)
But I'm calmed down and I'm locked in
And my records live in the top ten

Last time I got freaky, the FCC sued me
But I'm gonna keep doin' what I wanna do

All the rumors are true, yeah
