[Chorus: YN Jay]
I had to wait my turn, grinding all these years back, I had to learn
Everybody ain't your friends, those mama words
I wish back then, I just would’ve listened to her
I had to wait my turn, grinding all these years back, I had to learn
Everybody ain't your friends, those mama words
I wish back then, I just would've listened to her

[Verse 1: YN Jay]
I had to learn, I ain’t listen
Mama told me, I can't be bored, I was gifted
Watched my surroundings, I had to learn from a distance
They always told me I was gon end up in prison
Mama told me I was gon make it, keep going
[?] but in the morning I'm on it
I was in the game making plays, I was scoring
I be seeing snakes in the grass when I'm mowing
I told her step aside on my way to the top
Imma be there for a long long time
Who really on your side?
Who really down to ride?
They be faking and I don't know why

[Chorus: YN Jay]
I had to wait my turn, grinding all these years back, I had to learn
Everybody ain't your friends, those mama words
I wish back then, I just would've listened to her
I had to wait my turn, grinding all these years back, I had to learn
Everybody ain't your friends, those mama words
I wish back then, I just would’ve listened to her
[Verse 2: Louie Ray]
In the kitchen, I’m with the purp
Used to wake up and just serve
Blew his brains out on the curb
Did him dirty, I know you heard
[?] over some words
Respect is something that's earned
Over love will get him burned
And if I ever fucked her, I had my turn
Had to slither through dirt and mud like a worm
Saw my first body up close as hell was lost for words
N***as break easy, like candy canes and popsicles
Too much of these streets’ll break you down like rocks and stones

[Chorus: YN Jay]
I had to wait my turn, grinding all these years back, I had to learn
Everybody ain't your friends, those mama words
I wish back then, I just would've listened to her
I had to wait my turn, grinding all these years back, I had to learn
Everybody ain't your friends, those mama words
I wish back then, I just would’ve listened to her
