Shut the Fuck Up and Listen

Shut the fuck up. I’m talkin’.

You love to talk when shit’s easy Love advice you never lived You preach loud from clean damn chairs Take more than you ever give

You confuse noise with being right And confidence with spine I stayed quiet, watched you close Now you’re wastin’ my time

I heard enough Now hear this

Shut the fuck up and listen I ain’t here to debate You don’t know what it costs You don’t know what it takes

Shut the fuck up and listen I earned every word You been talkin’ your whole life I been doin’ the work

You talk “principles,” talk “respect” But fold fast when pressure’s real You quote shit you never paid for I speak scars you couldn’t feel

You hide behind “just my opinion” Like words don’t cut or land Say what you want, that’s fine — Just don’t expect me to understand

I ain’t angry I’m done

Shut the fuck up and listen This ain’t personal, it’s fact You talk big about survival I survived — you just react

Shut the fuck up and listen I don’t repeat myself If you don’t get it the first damn time That’s on you, not me, not hell

I don’t raise my voice I lower my tolerance I don’t argue with noise I remove the audience

You had years to say it right You chose comfort, chose the crowd Now I’m sayin’ it real clear Without yellin’, without loud

Shut the fuck up and listen This is as calm as it gets I don’t owe you understanding I don’t owe you respect

Shut the fuck up and listen Then do whatever you choose But don’t mistake my silence again For somethin’ you can use

Conversation’s over.
