chrys jones - shut yo mouf lyrics

[verse 1]
i find myself wanting to talk
when i should probably just be listening
the tortoise gets the dividends
while rabbits are disinterested
speaking too soon, i’m on a speedy path to danger
i need to slow down, listen, and not be drawn to anger
2020 showed me that my anger isn’t righteous
when i set my mind to shut it down and demonstrate my right+ness;
not politically, i’m another sinner, that’s in another song
pointing out your issues got me sinning;
i’m the one who’s wrong
whether it’s woke+ism or racism i can’t hate christians
i’ve been heaping criticism and that ain’t christian
i ain’t saying i can’t speak
but if i am not praying with them
or on my knees to seek the king
i’m just spreading satan’s venom
smokey told us about the fires;
one spark is all:
it takes to k!ll us all
a couple sticks, really small
’til you create the friction
it is either fact or fiction
the whole forest is ablaze because i ran my jaw
[chorus]
boy you need to shut yo mouf
boy you need to shut yo mouf
‘cuz you talking too much
why you talking so much?
boy you talking too much
why you talking so much?

[verse 2]
i can’t use the same tongue to praise god and curse another man
these things are not to be
and it’s time for us to draw some lines in the sand
a natural spring does not produce salt water, but fresh
neither should the mouth of a christian speak the things of the flesh
i know you thinking that i’m on a rant, boo+hoo
you would lose your mind if christians started doing voodoo
but we too readily will spread the things we see on youtube;
discernment channels right and people often getting you too
spread the gossip and the slander about the brethren
you’ll like and leave a comment without asking a question
but since we are interrogating, let me ask another:
what does scripture say of speaking evil about our brother?
i’m guilty as charged, i know no penalty, no oj
and i’d be lying if i told you that this all was ok
faith that isn’t dead is faith that hears and then it obeys
the grace that brought us from the grave will help us erase the old ways
[chorus]
boy you need to shut yo mouf
boy you need to shut yo mouf
‘cuz you talking too much
why you talking so much?
boy you talking too much
why you talking so much?

[verse 3]
i’ve noticed that i want to be the first to report the news
sometimes i’m willing to expand, or to start the truth
it’s pitiful that i choose speed over discernment;
speed through a book or double speed to hear a sermon?
always trying to be right, but who is wise and understanding?
the humble in his meekness, in christ he knows he’s standing
his conduct is holy in a world that is watching
giving glory to the savior
not himself saying, “watch me!”
keep putting off jealousy and self+ambition
shut yo mouth and try to listen
don’t be boasting;
that ain’t wisdom
that’s earthly, demonic, and unspiritual
that’s vile, bringing disorder, your condition is critical
but the wisdom from above is first pure;
then peaceable and gentle
knowing it’s worth more to be open to reason
full of mercy and good fruits;
impartial and sincere, rehearsing the good news
[chorus]
boy you need to shut yo mouf
boy you need to shut yo mouf
‘cuz you talking too much
why you talking so much?
boy you talking too much
why you talking so much?

[outro]
sometimes, the best thing you can do is just
not express your opinion
just shut yo mouf
it’s easy
