About This Track

Aminé vents at the accumulated weight of other people's problems and drama. The song finds him exhausted by constant complaint, by the need to absorb and manage someone else's emotional labour, by the endless performance of concern. He wants silence, space, relief from the noise. The track moves between frustration and something closer to mockery. In the second verse he turns his eye outward, cataloguing the small vanities and desperate flexing of those around him: the chain, the Rolex, the name-dropping, the posturing. There is a weariness to it all, a sense that everyone is performing a version of themselves that does not quite fit. Aminé's delivery shifts across the verses, his voice taking on different textures as he moves from intimate complaint to wider social observation, the production layering in auto-tuned passages that add to the song's sense of fractured attention and mounting fatigue.

"STFU" is a track by Aminé, from the album Good for You, released 28th July 2017. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

STFU

[Intro]

Ayy, man, say, man

We startin' to get really tired of all that, all that hoopty hollerin'

Whoopty whoo, blaze blah y'all been talkin' lately, man

Go somewhere with all that, man, for real, shut up, shut up

All that talkin' y'all be doin' man, for real

"I'ma do this, I'ma do that," ugh

[Verse 1]

Every day you're talkin', every day you're in my ears

And every time we fightin', I gotta go and wipe your tears

'Cause if I don't (Don't), you gon' throw your problems on me

And then we'll fuss and fight when I just really wish you'd

[Chorus]

Shut the fuck up, don't complicate it

Shut the fuck up, you're overexaggeratin'

Shut the fuck up, just have some patience

Shut the fuck up, quit givin' me hell

[Verse 2]

We keep lockin' eyes

Petty, so you're silent

You keep talkin' signs

Heart is in the science

Sleep, weep

Don't cry on me, don't die on me

All up in my face with the oochie wally wally

Soundin' like girls at a party on the molly (True)

I ain't tryna link or build (Nah)

Bubble space, bubble space, still, nigga, chill (Move)

Oh, you got a chain? Sick

Oh, you got some fame? Sick

Got a new Rolex, so you know he had to flex

'Cause the hoes gon' check

Five hundred K in my stash

Why you flex the only couple hundreds that you have? (Damn)

Screw needin' security for your insecurity (Yeah)

Callin' niggas broke, you should choke on your own words

Name droppin', pic croppin', dick hoppin', bill dodgin'

Boy, you know who you are (Yeah)

Man, why you wanna try so hard? (Why?)

Be yourself, be yourself and please

[Chorus]

Shut the fuck up, don't complicate it

Shut the fuck up, you're overexaggeratin'

Shut the fuck up, just have some patience

Shut the fuck up, get out my head

[Bridge]

I'm waitin' my whole life, but I'm tired

Tired of wishin' for you

I'm waitin' patiently, but my mischief

Wishin' for somethin' new

[Verse 3]

Money come right back, never had to fight that

But I come back, back

Thought it was a night cap, life hit a hijack

Girl, I speak facts, facts

Heartbreak Drake for my first heartbreak

I was seventeen and I made mistakes

Went to dances, but I never did dance

Got pretty fly, but I never did land

Now I'm twenty-three

Lovin' and learnin' from all the lovers that I see

Nissan babes with the body burgundy

Love my car same way I used to love key

Friends need a Uber, sis need tuition

Fans want the music, but they want a politician

Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure

Shut the fuck up, I don't need the extras

Spice girl sittin' in a red Mercedes

Attitude like I'm tryna have your babies

But I ain't tryna have no babies

No, I ain't tryna have no baby

[Outro]

Been waitin' my whole life, but I'm tired (So tired)

Tired of wishin' for you

I'm waitin' patiently, but my mischief

Wishin' for somethin' new
