Hush

Everyday he wakes up in his million dollar home

His life is like a video, the only reality he knows

He jumps inside of his hundred thousand dollar car

Cruising up the boulevard

Driving pass people living hard

Complains about the gas prices but still supports the war

He complains about his 6-figure salary, tax to feed the poor

He doesn’t understand the homeless, doesn’t think its genocide

That millions die from three lethal letters

He does shit to make it better

And I’m thinking huuu..

Everyone wants to touch the sky

Nobody wants to reach back

For the ones who are scared to fly

Everybody wants heaven

If you don’t want to sacrifice

Don’t say nothing, don’t say nothing

Oooooo-Hush

Don’t say nothing

Oooooo-Hush

Don’t say nothing

[Verse Two]

She watches television full of fabricated show

Thinks the world is just a joke, but oh little does she know

That there is a real life drama happening right outside her door

‘Cause She continues to ignore, but she’s like the TV - the story repeats

She’s searching through the channels

Skipping pass the news, she’s more entertained by lies and gossip

‘Cause it hurts to see the truth

She complains about the nation

Think it’s a waste of time to vote

She says the one that has been corrupted forever

No one tries to make it better

And I’m thinking uhh huhuu

Everyone wants to touch the sky (Oh-ho)

Nobody wants to reach back

For the ones who are scared to fly (Scared to fly)

Everybody wants heaven (Heaven)

If you don’t want to sacrifice (Oh)

Don’t say nothing, don’t say nothing

Oooooo-Hush

Don’t say nothing (My hand to my brother)

Oooooo-Hush (Hand to my sister)

Don’t say nothing

Oooooo-Hush

Don’t say nothing

Oooooo-Hush

Don’t say nothing

Yeah, yeah

每天在百萬豪宅中醒來

人生如錄影帶重複 苦甜惟有自知

開着價值不菲的小車

駛上林蔭道

窗外窮苦的人們只能抬頭凝望背影

嘴上抱怨油價卻仍支持戰爭

拿着6位數的薪水卻不願看到税收用於救濟

他不屑窮人 冷酷無情

成千上萬的人可能就此消失

他卻説一切都很好

而我的心在滴血

每個人都想自由翱翔

沒人想入地獄

但你嘗試振翅了嗎

每個人都期望遠方

卻不肯為之付出

不要再找藉口 不想聽你再説

給我住口

不想聽你再説

給我住口

不想聽你再説

[Verse 2]

她喜歡看無聊的電視節目

喜歡八卦 卻對其他一無所知

門外是另一個世界 天天上演着悲喜劇

她仍舊充耳不聞 只活在自己的世界中

頻道閃過

從不看新聞 她只對花哨的謊言和緋聞感興趣

現實是殘酷的

她會抱怨這個國家

不願投票

認為一切都是腐敗與骯髒

沒人想這一切變好

而我的心在滴血

每個人都想自由翱翔

沒人想入地獄

但你嘗試振翅了嗎

每個人都期望遠方

卻不肯為之付出

不要再找藉口 不想聽你再説

給我住口

不想聽你再説

給我住口

不想聽你再説 ^[1] 

這是一首曲調舒緩的歌曲，並非如Usher一如既往地那樣悲憫愛情。而是一首關注人文，反思社會，諷刺那些只知道抱怨世界卻不願改變自己，造福他人的人。

歌曲主要分成兩個部分。第一部分是對一箇中產階級的富人的描述，通過歌詞深刻揭露了一個為富不仁，麻木無情的統治者的嘴臉。第二部分寫了一個沉浸閒事，不問世事的普通百姓。只知道抱怨不公與黑暗是徒勞的，我們應該通過自己的努力，讓世界變得更澄澈。這就是這首歌基本的背景了。
