Shut Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't close the door behind you
You might wanna go through it someday
Don't burn that bridge
You might wanna cross it someday
Your best friends today
Could be you worst enemies tomorrow
You worst enemies today
Could be your best friends tomorrow
Don't burn that bridge
Don't close the door
Chorus And if you say something good about somebody
Oh shut up
And if you cant say something good about somebody
Just shut up.
Ungafakaz' amanga ngomakhelwane wakho
Ungakhulumi I'ndaba ezingafuni wena
Vul'umlomo wakho ufak'ipapa lakho
Vul'umlomo wakho ufak'inyama yakho
Ungakhulumi'ndaba uxabanis'abantu
Uma uthanda futhi ufak'amachips
Amagwinya wona uwashiya nobani.?
Don't say those words that will hurt people
Don't do those things that will hurt people
The things you say today
Will come and haunt you tomorrow
The things you do today
Will come and haunt you tomorrow
Do unto others as, you would like them to do unto you
And if you cant say something good about somebody
Oh shut up
If you cant say something good about somebody
Just shut up
Repeat
Ungafakaz'amanga.......
Till fade.
