Shut Up

This song goes out

To all the people out there that be runnin’ they mouth

And they don’t know what

The hell they sayin’

Shut up!

Now that I’ve got my voice back let me start off by sayin’ that

I appreciate the fans around the world that had my back

And I just wanna thank God upstairs for keeping His hands on me

And keeping all the doctors focused through my surgery

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

Some serious issues that I must address, so

Well let’s just get right to it:

People say that I was done

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

And even before the doctors was done and I could awake

A tsunami of rumors have come to wipe my career away

After 22 years of a blessed career

Had me lying in my hospital bed crying mad tears

But, just as I had many people hating me

I had so many people loving me

And let’s not forget the hood around the world puffing me

And to everybody that be callin’ me

Telling me what they be sayin’ about me

Bringin’ me all of this negative shit

Y’all the ones I ain’t f*ckin’ with

It’s time for me to evaluate

People that I let up in my space

Can I get a witness to all of this

When people all up in your business

Tell ‘em (Shut up)

Tell ‘em (Shut up)

Tell ‘em (Shut up)

(I’m talking to you)

Tell ‘em all (Shut up)

Tell ‘em all (Shut up)

Tell ‘em all (Shut up)

And tell ‘em (I’m talking to you)

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 ya’ll want me to go away

When it’s for me to go

My God is gonna orchestrate

Until the end, I will accept the stones

Pray and just try to get along

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

See, I got kids and I’m tryin to love ‘em

So many things I’m tryin to juggle

But I never thought this music would become my struggle (ooh)

The news said I lost my house

My own people put me down

And my friends no longer around (noo)

But you see deep underneath the surface

And i feel something’s working

In my behalf, the victory is near (yeah)

See, my future ain’t my past

It’s not the end of the hourglass

Who said it would not last?

Fans sick they ass

Tell ‘em (Shut up)

Shut up (Shut up)

Tell ‘em (Shut up)

I’m talking (I’m talking to you)

Say uuh (Shut up)

(Shut up)

Shut up ya’ll (Shut up)

(I’m talking to you)

Now seriously after all these hits

And melodies and memories

You compare me to someone else

O.M.G.

Now no offense to the other artist but come on, dawg

Now, let’s be honest

How many babies been made off me

O.M.G.

Seriously, you gonna act like that

Sit there like it ain’t no truth to that

Looking at me like i ain’t talking 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 (Shut up)

Shut up (Shut up)

(I’m talking to you)

Shut up (Shut up)

Shut up (Shut up)

About my life (Shut up)

About my life (I’m talking to you)

If the shoe fits, hey (Shut up)

(Shut up)

(Shut up)

Could you come walk a step in mine? (I’m talking to you)

Then just shut up

Freedom of speech

Thank God for my voice.
