Rumors Lyrics
They don't know I do it for the culture, goddamn
They say I should watch the shit I post, oh, goddamn
Say I'm turnin' big girls into hoes, oh, goddamn
They say I get groupies at my shows, oh, goddamn
All the rumors are true, yeah
What ya heard, that's true, yeah
I fuck him and you, yeah
If you believe I do that
Had to cut some hoes loose, yeah
NDA, no loose lips
Now them hoes tryna sue me
Bitch, I don't give two shits
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' shit on the internеt
My smoothie cleanse and my diet
No, I ain't fuck Drake yet (Ha)
Spendin' all your time tryna break a woman down
Realer shit 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, bitch
(Talkin', talkin', talkin')
Give 'em somethin' to talk about
Sick of rumors (Ooh)
But haters do what they do (Uh)
Haters do what they do (Cardi)
All the rumors are true, yeah
Fake ass, fake boobs, yeah
Made a million at Sue's, 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 fuck do this mean?
Look, I'm a Bronx bitch with some pop hits
Used to pop off when they pop shit (Woo)
But I'm calmed down and I'm locked in
And my records live in the top ten
Lizzo, teach me about big girl coochie (Okay)
Last time I got freaky, the FCC sued me
But I'm gonna keep doin' what I wanna do
'Cause all the rumors are
All the rumors are true, yeah
They hated on me since school, yeah
I never thought I was cool, yeah
Now me and Cardi, we cool, yeah
I love hoes on poles, yeah (Woo)
I am body goals, yeah
This shit from my soul, yeah
Black people made rock and roll, yeah
While you're spendin' all your time tryna break a woman down
Realer shit 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, bitch
What they say? (Yeah)
What they say? (Yeah)
(Talkin', talkin', talkin')
Give 'em somethin' to talk about
Sick of rumors (Ooh)
But haters do what they do
Haters do what they do
All the rumors are true
Rumors, yeah (Yeah)
Sheesh
Meaning of Rumors
“Rumors,” Lizzo’s unapologetically confident anthem, is a masterful dismantling of the vicious gossip and manufactured narratives constantly hurled at women, particularly Black women in the public eye. The core theme revolves around aggressively confronting the relentless stream of fabricated stories – the accusations of promiscuity, exploitation, and character assassination – that attempt to diminish her success and artistry. Through rapid-fire delivery and brutally honest lyrics, Lizzo doesn’t just acknowledge these rumors; she weaponizes them, explicitly stating “all the rumors are true, yeah,” turning the tables on her detractors. The song's narrative unfolds as a defiant response to the constant scrutiny: from detailing past relationships ("My ex nigga, he blew it") and personal struggles (“Readin' shit on the internet”) to directly addressing fabricated claims about her sexuality and business dealings (“I ain’t fuck Drake yet”).
Lizzo’s message is one of radical self-acceptance and a refusal to be defined by external judgment. She celebrates her body, her success, and her unapologetic embrace of pleasure, using humor and directness – “Fake ass, fake boobs, yeah” – to dismantle the hypersexualized attacks leveled against her. The inclusion of references like "smoothie cleanse" and "Bamboo" highlights her dedication to self-care while simultaneously rejecting societal expectations of women’s appearance. Ultimately, “Rumors” isn't just a catchy pop track; it’s a powerful assertion of agency and a call for listeners – particularly young Black women – to reject the limitations imposed by gossip and embrace their own narratives with pride and unwavering confidence.
