Verse

All these guns make me feel like a psycho

I'm tiptoeing like a bowling Freddy Flintstone

Me and Tony like a Scoob and Shaggy got Daphne twerking

Velma Freddy tweaking like a Ruh Roh

This life feels more like a dream

Nothing is what it really fucking seems

I'll be damned if I ever let a mother fucker take it

I will make it not asking to be king

I'm the joker down here with the lows

Life is asking how low can you go

I give some snow to a hoe

She be dancing on the pole

Now shut the fuck up and watch the show

Reaper Man oh

Meaning & Analysis

Stfu is short, playful and a little unhinged. It flips between cartoon references (Fred Flintstone, Scooby and Shaggy with Daphne and Velma, "Ruh Roh") and darker lines about guns, feeling like a psycho, and life feeling more like a dream where nothing is what it seems. In the middle is a statement of purpose: "I'll be damned if I ever let a motherfucker take it, I will make it, not asking to be king." He calls himself the joker down at the bottom, with life asking how low he can go, then ends by telling everyone to shut up and watch the show.
