[Verse 1]
Stuck in the middle, I can see where I've been
My eyes are open and I know where I'm going
(So much is in the way)
There are people who like being negative
And they always got something to say
They say you'll never be what you want to be
And that you'll never get but so far
Ooh, I'm trying hard, gotta hold my tongue
Times like this, I wish I really could say
[Chorus]
I wanna tell them shut up, I'm moving up
No time for the haters, working hard to be greater
You need to shut up, I'm climbing up
This is my calling, I don't see myself falling
So shut up
[Verse 2]
Working hard every day to be noticed
Being fearless while you're making your moves
(Some don't want the best for you)
There are people around being jealous
'Cause they wish that they could do what you do
They say you'll never be what you hope to be
And that you'll never shine like the stars
Ooh, you're trying hard, gotta hold your tongue
Times like this, I know you wish you could tell them
[Chorus]
Tell them shut up, I'm moving up
No time for the haters, working hard to be greater
They need to shut up, I'm climbing up (I'm climbing up)
This is my calling, I don't see myself falling
So shut up, I'm moving up (I'm moving up)
No time for the haters, working hard to be greater
They need to shut up, I'm climbing up (I'm climbing up)
This is my calling, I don't see myself falling
So shut up
[Bridge]
Please forgive me, I don't mean to be rude
This is not my normal behavior
When people saying things to knock me off my dreams
I can't help it, gotta tell them shut up
[Chorus]
Shut up, I'm moving up
No time for the haters, working hard to be greater
They need to shut up, I'm climbing up (I'm climbing up)
This is my calling, I don't see myself falling
So shut up, I'm moving up (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
No time for the haters, working hard to be greater
They need to shut up, I'm climbing up
This is my calling, I don't see myself falling
So shut up
[Outro]
Huh, yeah, shut up, shut up (Shut up)
This is me (So shut up)
