R. Kelly - Shut Up lyrics

[Intro] 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 [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 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 sh**, y'all the ones I ain't f**in' 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 hourgla** Who said it would not last? Fans, sick their a** [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, 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 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
