There are a few ways to interpret this question.

Can you put someone else's copyright-protected words on a t-shirt? Only with their permission.

Are the words on a t-shirt protected by copyright? Not necessarily; usually what's on a t-shirt is too short to qualify for protection by itself. It may be registered as a trademark, if it's a slogan or company name, or the words may be included in an otherwise copyrightable image, but exclusive of design, simple words would probably not qualify for protection.
