The most exclusive event
And you think that you're invited
Talking about my past
Like you're living my life
You say that you heard it from somebody
So it must be true, right?
Every lie is covered with powdered sugar
If you can't see it, it never happened, right?
Everybody's tired of all the lies and the hate
The negative energy cancels the artistry in me
And you think that it's sexy to be anorexic
But remember I'm skinny by choice not comment
Yes, you say shit and think it's true, and?
Yes, I won't change for you though you want me to, and?
Yes, I don't have a lot of friends, and?
My business is mine and your business is yours
The most controversial opinion
And my name made a surprising entrance
Like it was invited to the Met Gala
But the fancy things were left on the table
You say that you heard it from somebody
So it must be true, right?
Every comment is blasted like it's MTV
If you can't see it, it never happened, right?
Everybody's tired of all the lies and the hate
The negative energy cancels the artistry in me
And you think that I lied about what I went through
But remember my scars came from neglect and abuse
Yes, you say shit and think it's true, and?
Yes, I won't change for you though you want me to, and?
Yes, I don't care that much anymore, and?
My privacy is mine and your privacy is yours
My body tells everyone I'm feeling so alive
My acting is so amazing that I actually could lie
Tell them that I care when deep down I really don't
Because Whoopi doesn't care about the naysayers
And I don't care anymore because everyone's annoying
Yes, you say shit and think I actually care, and?
Yes, I won't change for you though you want me to, and?
Yes, I've learned to let go of the hurt, and?
Yes, my life is mine and your life is yours, and?
