R KELLY - Shut Up lyrics

rate me

This song goes out

To all the people out there, they be running their mouth

And they don’t know what they’re saying

Shut up!

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

I appreciate the fans around the world that have my back

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

And keeping all the doctors focused for 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 it right through it

People say that I was gone

Say there was no way this time is gonna overcome

And even before, the doctors was gone, and I could awake

Soon … my career away!

After twenty two years of a bless career

They had me lying in my hospital bed crying bad tears, uhu

But just I had many people hate me, had so many people loving me

And not forget the hood around the world covering me

Until everybody that be calling me

Well, telling me what they be saying about me

Well, bringing me all this negative shit…

It’s time to evaluate, oh, oh

People that I let up in my space

..witness all of this, when people all up in your business

Chorus:

Tell, shut up, tell ‘em shut up

Tell ‘em shut up, tell ‘em shut up

I’m talking to you!

Tell ‘em shut up, tell ‘em shut up

Tell ‘em all shut up!

Tell ‘em all shut up!

Tell ‘em! I’m talking to you!

He’s washed up, he’s lost!

He ain’t got no more

But I’m here to… boy, you haters are so slow!

And it sadness me to know

Some of you want me to go away

When it’s time for me to go

My God is gonna orchestrate you, yeah!

Until then I’m gonna accept the stones

Playing, just trying to get along

But sometimes is so hard for me to be strong

See, I got kids and I’m trying to love ‘em, so many things I’m trying juggle

But I never thought this music would become my struggle, oh!

Then you 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

I feel something is working in my behalf

A victory is near!

See, my future ain’t my past

It’s not the end of the hour glass, who said it would not last…

Chorus:

Tell, shut up, tell ‘em shut up

Tell ‘em shut up, tell ‘em shut up

I’m talking to you!

Tell ‘em shut up, tell ‘em shut up

Tell ‘em all shut up!

Tell ‘em all shut up!

Tell ‘em! I’m talking to you!

He’s washed up, he’s lost!

Now seriously, after all these hits and melodies,

And memories you compare me to someone else!

Oh, MJ, no offence to the other ones,

But come one down, let’s be honest, how many babies have been made of me?

Oh, MJ, seriously?

You gonna act like that?

Sitting there like it ain’t no truth to that?

Looking at m like it ain’t talking …

Oh, MJ! Every boy, every girl, every child around the world

From the 90s up until the day would…

Chorus:

Shut up, shut up, shut up

I’m talking to you!

Shut up, shut up, shut up

All my life, oh!

I’m talking to you!...

Just shut up, shut up, shut up!
