Controversy
[Intro]
Controversy
Controversy

[Verse 1]
Controversy follow me wherever I go
That's why they know my name (Know my name)
X-rated, making a statement
That's what they say
And when they say my name
I just can't believe all the things people say
(Controversy)
Am I Bisexual? Am I straight or gay?
(Controversy)

[Chorus]
Do I believe in God?
Do I believe in me?
(Controversy)

[Verse 2]
Controversy follow me whatever I do
That's why they know my name (Know my name)
Exploitation, all in the pages
Give 'em no statement
But they say my name
(Say my name, controversy)
[Interlude]
Seems like wherever I go
There's controversy
It seems like whatever I say
There's controversy

[Verse 3]
I can't understand human curiosity
(Controversy)
Was it good for you?
Was I what you wanted me to be?
(Controversy)

[Chorus]
I wanna know why
You worry 'bout mine
Controversy

[Verse 1 - Reprise]
Controversy follow me wherever I go
That's why they know my name (know my name)
X-rated, making a statement
That's what they say
And when they say my name (say my name)

[Chorus]
Do I believe in God?
Do I believe in me?
Some people wanna die
So they can be free
Life is just a game
We're all just the same
I wanna know why
You worry 'bout mine
(Controversy)
[Bridge]
Gimme-gi-gimme my space, please?
They stalkin' me
Lies, rumors, gossip
(Lies, rumors, gossip, controversy)
Every time I show my face
You'll be watching me
Tabloids and paparazzi jockin' me
(Controversy)

[Outro]
People call me rude
I wish we all were n***
I wish there were no boy or girl
I wish there were no boobs
People wanna blame
But I am not ashamed
If there were no controversy
Would you know my name?

People call me rude
(People call me rude)
I wish we all were n***
(I wish we all were n***)
I wish there were no boy or girl
I wish there were no boobs
(I wish there were no boobs)
People wanna blame (Blame)
But I am not ashamed
(I am not ashamed)
If there were no controversy
Would you know my name?
(Controversy)
