Wake up ex-wife
This is your life
Children on your own
Turning on the telephone
Messengers, manager
No time for a manicure
Working out, shake my ass
I know how to multi-task
Connecting to the WIFI
Went from nerd to superb
Have you seen the new guy?
I forgot the password
Gotta call the babysitter
Tweetin’ on the elevator
I could take a helicopter
I don’t even feel the pressure

I’m gonna be okay
I don’t care what the people say
I’m gonna be alright
Gonna live fast and I’m gonna live right

I’m moving fast can you follow my track?
I’m moving fast and I like it like that
I do ten things all at once
And if you have a problem
I don’t give a

You were so mad at me
Who’s got custody
Lawyers suck it up
Didn’t have a pre-nup
Make a film, write a song
Gotta get my stockings on
Meet the press, buy the dress
All of this to impress
Ride my horse, break some bones
Take it down a semitone
I forgot to say my prayers
Baby Jesus on the stairs
Gotta sign a contract
Gotta get my money back
All the biters have to go
Standing in the front row

I’m gonna be okay
I don’t care what the people say
I’m gonna be alright
Gonna live fast and I’m gonna live right

I’m moving fast can you follow my track?
I’m moving fast and I like it like that
I do ten things all at once
And if you have a problem
I don’t give a

I tried to be a good girl
I tried to be your wife
Diminished myself
And I swallowed my light
I tried to become all
That you expect of me
And if it was a failure
I don’t give a

I don’t give a
I don’t give a
I don’t give a
I don’t give a

Shots fire, anything you hear Nicki on, that's fire
You don't hear them bums on nothin', that's fire
Tell 'em, catch fire
In the Bugatti, ten grand, one tire
Ayo Madonna, Nicki ah say you original Don Dada
Inna ya Gabbana, Inna all ya Prada
We material girls, ain't nobody hotter
Pops collar
See I really can't relate to your Volvo
And you can't get these shoes at a Aldo
When I let a dude go, that's his loss
I was cuttin' him checks, I was his boss
Yo I don't give a f you, a curse, nor bless you
Never let them stress you.
I ain't a business woman, I'm a business, woman
And I'm known for giving bitches the business, woman

I’m gonna be okay
I don’t care what the people say
I’m gonna be alright
Gonna live fast and I’m gonna live right

I’m moving fast can you follow my track?
I’m moving fast and I like it like that
I do ten things all at once
And if you have a problem
I don’t give a

There's only one queen, and that's Madonna
