Im the writer got a front page cover
Hot gossip bout whos with their latest lover
I write all chapters by the second scene
I call the shots, dont need a fleet street team

I am a writer and Im the news
You cross me you know youre gonna lose

Ill do the story if youre dead or alive
If seconds out or if youre gonna take a dive
Slip out the news or a piece of scandal
Dont toe the line, cause nothings too hot to handle

I am the writer and Im the news
If you cross me you know youre gonna lose
Yeah youre gonna lose

[instrumental]

I am a writer and I am the news
If you cross me you know youre gonna lose

And where you are its because of me
cause overnight you know it dont come free
Ill put you up there or Ill bring you down
cause nothing moves without me in this town

I am a writer and I am the news
If you cross me you know youre gonna lose

Boy youre gonna lose I said youre gonna lose
I write the news I am the news
Got to, got to lose
Oh yeah youre gonna lose
So dont step on my blue suede shoes...
