Shut Up! Lyrics - R. Kelly

this song goes out 

to all the people out there, that be running their mouth 

and they don't know what the hell they saying 

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 have 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 it right through it 

people say that i was gone 

say there was no way this time he's gonna overcome 

and even before, the doctors was done, 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 mad tears, uhu 

but just as i had many people hatin' me, had so many people loving me 

and not forget the hood around the world covering me 

to everybody that be calling me 

well, telling me what they be saying about me 

well, bringing me all this negative shit 

yal the ones i ain't fuckin with 

it's time for me to evaluate, oh, oh 

people that i let up in my space 

can i get a witness for all of this, when people all up in your business

and it sadness me to know 

some of yal want me to go away 

when it's time for me to go 

my god is gonna orchestrate it all 

until then i'm gonna accept the stones 

praying, just try 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! 

Photos 

and who 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 

i'm sick o' their ass 

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! 

now seriously, after all these hits and melodies, 

and memories you compare me to someone else! OMG! 

no offence to the other artists, 

but come one dawg, let's be honest, how many babies have been made of me? OMG! 

seriously? 

you gonna act like that? 

sitting there like it ain't no truth to that? 

looking at me like it ain't talking stats OMG! 

every boy, every girl, every child around the world 

from the 90s up until the day they all free 

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!
