[Chorus]
Yeah, my cousin grew up in Tulsa
Came to visit me in Oklahoma
18, locked up for a murder
God, please tell me when it’s over

[Verse 1]
Overthinking like I might of caused it
We was young and wildin’ just because the-
Confession somethin’ you already knew, God
Mama say that she livin’ her best life
It’s been so long, don’t know what stress like
And she say she livin’ her best life
I didn’t know how to talk until religion
Never ‘fraid to change ‘cause I’m a changed man
And now I follow Nirvana, Holy Spirit
From now on I’m keepin’ it the realest, yeah
One way ticket to a livin’ hell
This sound cold like the prison cells
Before I gotta say, that’s how our brother felt
Got the jail, not no county jail
Tallying all this money, still can’t make no bail, uh
One way ticket to a livin’ hell, uh

[Chorus]
My cousin grew up in Tulsa
Came to visit me in Oklahoma
18, locked up for a murder
God, can you tell me when it’s over

[Verse 2]
This sound cold like the prison cells, uh, uh
When we take it to a livin’ hell, ayy, woah, woah
She say she livin’ her best life, ayy, woah, woah
Yeah, don’t know what the stress like, ayy, woah, woah
Yeah, please don’t rain the dead nights, uh, yeah, yeah
She don’t have no sleepless nights

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, my cousin grew up in Tulsa, ah, ah
Came to visit Oklahoma, ah, ah
18, locked up for a murder, ah, ah
God, please tell me when it’s over, ah, ah

[Outro]
Over, ah, ah
God, please tell me when it’s over, ah, ah
Yeah, yeah, over, ah, ah

Ah, we was wildin’ just because, what? Ayy, yeah
