Lyrics:

You ever been listening to a friend telling you what happened
Instead of just laughing you start getting mad then
You give them your opinion and it starts a fight
Over someone else you hardly like
Then you realize your whole day got ruined by negativity
Well fuck that I won't let it get to me
Before I stick my nose where it shouldn't be
Let me check the mirror take a look at me
Nope
Still not God
So guess what
Not my job to judge
Still not God
So guess what
Not my job to judge
I’mma shut up
I’mma shut up
I’mma shut I’mma shut
I’mma shut up
I’mma shut up
I’mma shut up 
I’mma shut I’mma shut
I’mma shut up
Took me way too long to learn this one but
Better late than never let me just shut up
I’mma just shut up
I’mma shut up
I’mma shut up
I’mma shut Imma shut
I’mma shut up
Well it's settled the devil loves to meddle
Just like black’s what the pot calls the kettle
Let me step back breathe before I open
My mouth and watch it go south as soon as I go in
I’mma shut up
I’mma shut up
I’mma shut up
Doing all that talking
Finally figured out
The problem my mouth
It happen way too often
Before I stick my nose where it shouldn't be
Let me check the mirror take a look at me
Nope
Still not God
So guess what
Not my job to judge
Before I stick my nose where it shouldn't be
Let me check the mirror take a look at me
Nope
Still not God
So guess what
Not my job to judge
I’mma shut up
I’mma shut up
I’mma shut I’mma shut
I’mma shut up
I’mma shut up
I’mma shut up
I’mma shut I’mma shut
I’mma shut up
Took me way too long to learn this one but
Better late than never let me just shut up
Shut up
Better late than never let me just
I’mma shut up
I’mma shut up
I’mma shut I’mma shut
I’mma shut up

Lyrical Breakdown: "I'mma Shut Up"

Yo, so let’s talk about "I'mma Shut Up". This one’s for all of us who’ve been caught up in some unnecessary BS and needed a reminder that sometimes… silence is the best weapon. Trust me, I learned this lesson the hard way. 😂 Let’s break it down real quick.


"You ever been listening to a friend telling you what happened,
Instead of just laughing you start getting mad then,
You give them your opinion and it starts a fight,
Over someone else you hardly like..."

Let’s be real. How many times you been vibing with a homie, they start telling you about their drama, and next thing you know, you’re more heated than they are? 😂 You're ready to fight over someone you don't even mess with like that! It's crazy how fast your day can get hijacked by someone else’s nonsense. This verse is me catching that moment when you realize you’re in way too deep over something that doesn't even concern you. It’s like, damn, why did I let myself get worked up?


"Before I stick my nose where it shouldn't be,
Let me check the mirror, take a look at me,
Nope, still not God,
So guess what, not my job to judge…"

This line right here—THIS is where I had to look at myself. We all got opinions, but at the end of the day, it ain't our job to play God and decide what's right or wrong for someone else. Took me a minute to understand that. Before I open my mouth, I gotta check myself. I ain't here to judge, I’m just trying to live my own life. And let’s be honest, judging ain't solving anything anyway, so why even bother?


"I’mma shut up, I’mma shut up,
I’mma shut, I’mma shut, I’mma shut up..."

Now, this hook... it’s the mantra. Sometimes you gotta say it over and over to remind yourself. It’s simple because it’s a straight-up reminder. When you’re about to get involved, sometimes you just gotta fall back. That’s the whole vibe right here—no point in talking, just let it be. I'mma shut up is the anthem for when you realize, "Yo, not everything needs my two cents." Life gets a lot less stressful when you know when to hold your tongue. 😂


"Well it's settled, the devil loves to meddle,
Just like black’s what the pot calls the kettle…"

This line is a whole truth bomb. That negativity, that drama—it’s always lurking. The devil loves it when we get all worked up and wrapped up in things that don’t matter. It's funny how we’ll throw shade at someone, not realizing we’re doing the same thing. The pot calling the kettle black is basically us being hypocrites. The devil is in the details, man, and if you’re not careful, it’ll suck you in. So, sometimes you just gotta step back and check yourself.


"Took me way too long to learn this one, but
Better late than never, let me just shut up…"

Let me tell you something—this right here is the truth. Took me way too long to realize that shutting up can be a superpower. 😂 We always feel like we gotta have the last word, like we gotta say something. But nah, sometimes it's better to just let it ride. Better late than never, though. That’s a lesson we can all relate to—finally realizing that some things just aren’t worth your energy. So yeah, I’m late to the game, but I’m here now, and I’m shutting up.


"Doing all that talking, finally figured out,
The problem’s my mouth, it happen way too often…"

This is me being real with myself. A lot of the problems I had were because of me running my mouth too much. 😂 Once you can admit that, it’s like a weight lifts off your shoulders. The first step to fixing the issue is admitting you're the one causing it, right? I’ve been guilty of talking too much, thinking I had to respond to everything, but now I know—it’s my mouth that needs the timeout, not the world.


"Before I stick my nose where it shouldn't be,
Let me check the mirror take a look at me,
Nope, still not God,
So guess what, not my job to judge…"

Yeah, I repeat this because it’s THAT important. I have to remind myself daily—it’s not my place to judge or fix everyone else’s issues. It’s easy to forget when you're caught up in the moment, but this is my personal check. Before I dive into something that ain’t mine, I gotta take that step back, look in the mirror, and remember—I ain't God. 😂 It’s cool to let things slide.


Final Thoughts on "I'mma Shut Up"

This song is all about growth. It’s about learning when to just fall back and let life happen. Not everything needs my opinion, not every argument needs my input, and not every situation needs me to jump in. I spent too much time getting caught up in things that were messing with my peace. Now, I'm about keeping my energy right, and "I'mma Shut Up" is the soundtrack to that mindset. 

So yeah, I’m still figuring it out like everybody else, but I hope this track helps you do the same. We all got stuff to work on, and for me, it’s knowing when to stay quiet. Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever had to learn this lesson the hard way too. 💯

Until next time, remember, if you need to... shut up! 😂

Peace,
