This song goes out... To all the people out there that be runnin´ their mouth And don´t know what the hell they sayin´... Shut up
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 during my surgery Now, there´s a couple of things I´ve gotta get off my chest Some serious issues that I must address Well lets 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 lets not forget the hood around the world coverin´ 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
Tell em, shut up Tell em, shut up Tell em, shut up I´m talkin´ to you
Tell em, shut up Tell em, shut up Tell em, shut up I´m talkin´ 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 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
Tell em, shut up Tell em, shut up Tell em, shut up I´m talkin´ to you
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, lets 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 90´s up until the day 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
