Shut up
B Fly Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

You need to sh-shut the fuck up
Wha wha, Yea, yea
What, what, Beatminerz baby
Jean Grae, AB emcee, stay out
Yea take that, shut da fuck up
Know what I'm talkin' about

I design this rhyme in my slime where miracles happen

Scheme; world domination, snatch Queens next Manhattan
So hold the Latin Quarter, behold the prophecy
I'm levitatin' on water, demonstratin' somethin' properly
The A to the be , there can only be one
Freeze time through the needle when my vinyl gets spun
Get respect 'cause I earn it, first time learn it
With the keys to six, but the five'll burst and invert it
Spray and burn it like I'm holdin areosol to a brick wall
Type my name indelibly, so my legend won't fall
Apani why'all yes yes, the rest are powerless
Who assassinate the queen, our strikers shut 'em down like gravity

Who stay spittin' flows that get underground booties and cats pissed,
Jean, black listed from shows, the rap antagonist
I work with ladies with brains twisted and talkin' loud and shit
I'll liqour it, fire spittin' women will knuckle you bitch
You troublin' whips, niggas rent, can't afford a six
Crash and when the cops come, you'll find me hurlin' the fifth
We got no dough, frozen wrists, or Cris',
guns'll bust when wind blows
My fist could knock holes though nigga
Wittier shit, gritty as hell, pretty as fuck
Dirty as motherfuckers who actually fuck they mother's what
If you don't like it, then don't listen, but don't talk
I'll run up in your prom, with cans of blood on the catwalk
I ain't playin', have you standin' there,
bloody, drippin, and laughin' 'cause it's all your fault
Shut da fuck up!

"So you want to see how good you are?"
"It'll just take me to show ya"

Now what you niggas want to talk about, "Shut da fuck up"
Stank hoopy bitches, and your bank account, "Shut da fuck up"
A bunch of shit nobody care about, "Shut da fuck up"
You silly bitches love to run your mouth, "Shut da fuck up"
You shut da fuck up!

Now what these bitches want to talk about, "Shut da fuck up"
These strippers turn to rappers comin'' out, "Shut da fuck up"
Who write your shit, you say its you, I doubt, "Shut da fuck up"
You silly niggas love to run your mouth, "Shut da fuck up"
You shut da fuck up!

This is real life rap, these niggas not ready for
No posin and crap, beg your pardon, por favor
Superior, Orator came jaws like Thor
Soon as I drop some thunder shit, greedy niggas want more
Run the play-by-play, tackle cats like a fullback
It's a dangerous game, come strong or get your skull cracked
Blahti raise the thermostat, collapse, robber formats
Dodge traps like the clap, do it for all ghetto blacks
Stand firm like I'm cemented, Jean Grae my comrad
Enter the Dragon, we demented, sick, and highly complemented
Slick witted, star figures, acid-laced hallucigenics
We fire-spittin' bitches, disregard the bullshittings

Niggas stay runnin your mouth, teeth or shit drippin off
Bottomed-out, permanent south, some bitter cats, so fuck why'all
We hot on wax, we hot on stage
My tongue's a twelve gauge, lips, uzis, spray the page
why'all some click-n-drag niggas, chatroom with fag niggas
Backpack and bag niggas, play body and tag niggas
We raps best when we step in the ring
Get knocked 'fore the first bell, hell with the clock
We dirty be-atch (We drunk)
Apani tree'd up, chillin and speed Jean up
why'all industry skeed niggas snortin the whole ki up
And still won't sign us, they rhyme but minus the clothes
Please, why'all just in jobs for these hoes
Yo shut da fuck up!

Now what you niggas want to talk about, "Shut da fuck up"
Stank hoopy bitches, and your bank account, "Shut da fuck up"
A bunch of shit nobody care about, "Shut da fuck up"
You silly bitches love to run your mouth, "Shut da fuck up"
You shut da fuck up!

Now what these bitches want to talk about, "Shut da fuck up"
These strippers turn to rappers comin' out, "Shut da fuck up"
Who write your shit, you say its you, I doubt, "Shut da fuck up"
You silly niggas love to run your mouth, "Shut da fuck up"
You shut da fuck up!

Now what you niggas want to talk about, "Shut da fuck up"
Stank hoopy bitches, and your bank account, "Shut da fuck up"
A bunch of shit nobody care about, "Shut da fuck up"
You silly bitches love to run your mouth, "Shut da fuck up"
You shut da fuck up!

Now what these bitches want to talk about, "Shut da fuck up"
These strippers turn to rappers comin'' out, "Shut da fuck up"
Who write your shit, you say its you, I doubt, "Shut da fuck up"

You silly niggas love to run your mouth, "Shut da fuck up"
You shut da fuck up!

Overall Meaning

In B Fly's song "Shut Up," we hear the voices of two talented female rappers, Jean Grae and Apani B Fly. The lyrics primarily deal with the theme of shutting down the unnecessary and meaningless conversations prevalent in the music industry, and they ask people to shut up and listen to real-life rap, which is not just about posing and crapping but is a manifestation of real feelings and emotions. Jean Grae's verse highlights her skill by designing the rhyme in her slime where miracles happen, and she speaks of her scheme of world domination and holding the Latin Quarter while levitating on water. She also mentions "A to the B" where only one can exist and how she can freeze time through the needle when her vinyl gets spun. On the other hand, Apani B Fly's verse is all about how people in the music industry pretend to be something they are not and how they love to run their mouth. She says that if people don't like the music, they should not listen to it, but they should not talk as well. Both rappers bring their own unique style and a powerful delivery to the track that emphasizes their own importance and value in the rap game.

The production of "Shut Up" is done by Beatminerz, who are famous for incorporating heavy drums and smooth samples in their music. The beat itself is groovy and funky, providing an excellent backdrop for the lyrics, which are nothing short of lyrical finesse. The chorus of the song is repeated several times, which emphasizes the theme of the song.
