Shut Me Out

Tell me something I don't already know

I know that you can't stand these things I'm preaching in the streets

But how can I contain the truth I hold inside 

With all the hurting people that I see so I don't mind

Putting up with you, and all the things you say

I'm not about to stop or even change my ways 





There's nothing you can say

That will take me away from this life

There's nothing you can do 

To shut me up when I'm speaking the truth 



Into the bridge and ending last line:

(to shut me up, to shut me out when I'm speaking the truth) 



You may not like all I have to say

But you can't prove that everything is filled with empty words

I know my life and inside how I've changed

A testimony to the truth I speak, so I don't mind

Putting up with you, and all the things you say

I'm not about to stop or even change my ways
