Shut up boy, just shut up boy, yeah yeah, yeah
Now what would it take to get you to shut up for a minute
I'm sick of this yelling contest
Ohh, so your a bit, much with it
Can't you shut up for a minute, and let me get this off my chest

For the last 15 minutes. I've been trying to let you know that my heart and mind ain't in this relationship no more
But you just keep on talking over me, not listening as usual
Bet if I walked out of here right now, you'd just keep on talking soo...

[Chorus:]
You can keep running your mouth all you want, when you stop and take a breath I'll be gone
I said it's so sad that it's ended this way, gotta tell you goodbye baby
Could you please shut up, so you can hear me

[Ne-Yo:] so whatcha saying girl [x2]
[RichGirl:] shut up so you can hear me
[Ne-Yo:] tell me whatcha saying girl [x2]
[RichGirl:] shut up so you can hear me

I wanted to explain to you why I can't stay another minute, but I can't get a word in. no no

[Ne-Yo:] baby I thought everything was cool and that's why I don't understand what's wrong, don't leave me baby. noo

[RichGirl:] You see what I'm saying

[Ne-Yo:] what ya saying girl

For the last 35 minutes, I've been trying to let you know that my heart and mind ain't in this relationship no more
[Ne-Yo:] {Please don't leave me cause I do understand that I love you girl}
You keep on talking over me, not listening as usual
[Ne-Yo:] {I'm listening}
Bet if I walked outta here right now. you'd just keep on talking soo

[Chorus: x2]
You can keep running your mouth all you want, when you stop and take a breath I'll be gone
I said it's so sad that it's ended this way, gotta tell you goodbye baby
Could you please shut up, so you can hear me

[Ne-Yo:] so whatcha saying girl [x2]
[RichGirl:] shut up so you can hear me
[Ne-Yo:] tell me whatcha saying girl [x2]
[RichGirl:] shut up so you can hear me

[Ne-Yo:] baby I thought everything was cool and that's why I don't understand what's wrong, don't leave me baby. noo

Shut up boy. maybe just shut up boy

RichGirl

RichGirl was an American R&B vocal girl group consisting of members Audra Simmons, Christina “Brave” Williams, Kristal Lyndriette Smith (now a member of June’s Diary) and Amber “Se7en” Streeter (now known as Sevyn Streeter). The group’s name refers to “a certain attitude and confidence, combined with individuality and talent that any girl might possess, rather than material items”. The group was formed by producer Rich Harrison, and managed by Tina Davis.

Although the group never released a full debut LP, work on a self-titled debut album had begun in 2009 with a planned release in 2012. The album saw the release of a promotional-single titled “24” featuring Bun B. and two official singles, “He Ain’t wit Me Now (Tho)” and “Swagger Right”. Sevyn described the album as “motivational, empowering, fun and honest”. The girls wrote several songs on the album and did their own vocal arrangements, although Lyndriette said they “didn’t get an opportunity to write as much as we all liked only because it was a little rushed, and the label was pushing us to get it done”. In addition to executive producer Rich Harrison, the group also had sessions with Bryan-Michael Cox, The Underdogs, Dre & Vidal, KP and Malay, StarGate, Ester Dean, Chris Brown and Ne-Yo.

As they continued work on their debut album, the group were an opening act for Beyoncé on her I Am … Tour. They performed a 15-minute set, which included their single, “He Ain’t wit Me Now (Tho)”, snippets from their debut album and a cover of “Over the Rainbow”.
