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?
