Shut Up

[Intro]

This song goes out...

To all the people out there that be runnin' their mouth

And they don't know what the hell they sayin'...

Shut up

[Verse 1]

Now that I've got my voice back, let me start off by saying that

I appreciate the fans around the world that had my back

And I just wanna thank God upstairs for keepin' his hands on me

And for keeping all the doctors' focus through my surgery

Now, there's a couple of things I've gotta get off my chest

Some serious issues that I must address

Well, let's just get right to it

People said that I was done

Said there was no way this time he's gonna overcome

And even before the doctors were done and I could awake

A tsunami of rumors had come to wipe my career away

After twenty two years of a blessed career

They had me lyin' in my hospital bed cryin' mad tears (woo hoo hoo)

But just as I had many people hatin' me, I had so many people lovin' me

And let's not forget the hood around the world cuffin' me

But to everybody that be callin' me, tellin' me what they be sayin' about me

Bringin' me all of this negative shit, y'all the ones I ain't fuckin' with

It's time for me to evaluate the people that I let up in my space

Can I get a witness for all of this, people all up in your business

[Hook 2x]

Tell 'em, shut up

Tell 'em, shut up

Tell 'em, shut up

I'm talkin' to you

[Verse 2]

He's washed up, he's lost it, he ain't got it no more

Well I'm here to tell you today, boy, you haters are so slow

And it saddens me to know some of y'all want me to go away

But when it's time for me to go, my God is gonna orchestrate

Until then, I will accept the stones and pray and just try and get along

But sometimes it's so hard for me to be strong

I got kids and I'm tryna love 'em

So many things I'm tryna juggle

But I never thought this music would become my struggle

The news said I lost my house

My own people put me down

And my friends no longer around no

But you see deep underneath the surface

Now it feels that something's working in my behalf, a victory is near

See my future ain't my past, it's not the end of the hourglass

Who said it would not last?

Fans, sick their ass

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Now seriously after all these hits and melodies and memories

You compare me to someone else, O-M-G

No offense to the other artist, but come on, dog, let's be honest

How many babies been made off me? O-M-G

Seriously, you're gon' act like that

Sit there like there ain't no truth to that

Lookin' at me like I'm not talkin' stats, O-M-G

Every boy, every girl, every child around the world

From the 90s up until today was made off me

Shut up, shut up, shut up

I'm talkin' to you

Shut up, 'bout my life

[?]

So just shut up, just shut up
