Mama Words Lyrics by YN Jay

MVP

2019

[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
Niggas 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
