“And all of this controversy circles me
And it seems like the media immediately points a finger at me

When you won't just put up with the bullshit they pull”

The ring, the ring, the ring.' I thought about it for a moment then wrote the words, 'I wear the ring.' 'How about this for a first line?”

They'd go, "my god, Michael Jackson!"”
