Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mamma cried, said, “Boy, you driftin’”
I was blind, now I’m seein’ it different
Wrong turns, made the whole block witness
Cops came loud, tried to wreck my mission
Door kicked in, boots on the floor
Hands up fast, could hear mamma roar
She was prayin’ through the crack in the wall
I was tryna stand tall, but I seen it all
Cold steel came out, quick with the snap
Heart in my throat, then the cuffs went clap
I kept thinkin’ ’bout the things she said
“Don’t wait too late, don’t wind up dead”
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the night got teeth
And the room got small
I hear mamma breathe
Through that jailhouse wall
I was lost, I know
Had to pay that cost
When the door shut slow
That’s when I got crossed
[Chorus]
Wrong direction, wrong direction
Mamma said it first, that was the lesson
Wrong direction, wrong direction
I heard her voice through the whole selection
Wrong direction, wrong direction
Now I’m fightin’ for my own correction
Wrong direction, wrong direction
I can’t stay here, I need protection
[Verse 2]
Prison time hit hard, stone-gray days
No sky, just bars, no sweet escape
Countin’ footsteps in a busted hall
Thin blue tray and a brick wall
I replay mamma on the other end
Sounded mad, but she still my friend
“Why you keep on lettin’ ’em test your name?”
Why I keep on feedin’ this fire and shame?
Every line she threw was a blade and balm
Every hurtful truth came with a calm
I ain’t proud of the scars I wear
But I’m alive, so I’m still here
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the night got teeth
And the room got small
I hear mamma breathe
Through that jailhouse wall
I was lost, I know
Had to pay that cost
When the door shut slow
That’s when I got crossed
[Chorus]
Wrong direction, wrong direction
Mamma said it first, that was the lesson
Wrong direction, wrong direction
I heard her voice through the whole selection
Wrong direction, wrong direction
Now I’m fightin’ for my own correction
Wrong direction, wrong direction
I can’t stay here, I need protection
[Bridge]
(Hello?) yeah, I’m here
I got your words in my ear
(Bring me back) I’m tryin’
I’m tired of lyin’
One more chance, one more breath
One more step from the edge
If I make it out this cell
I’m gonna do right, do it well
[Chorus]
Wrong direction, wrong direction
Mamma said it first, that was the lesson
Wrong direction, wrong direction
I heard her voice through the whole selection
Wrong direction, wrong direction
Now I’m fightin’ for my own correction
Wrong direction, wrong direction
I can’t stay here, I need protection

Angry trap rap with tense halftime drums, sliding 808s, and snapped hi-hats; verse runs dense and personal, pre-chorus tightens with filtered pads and a rising vocal chant, chorus lands on a blunt gang-hook with doubled shouts. Ad-libbed heckles, phone-call vocal fragments, and a brief beat drop before the final verse. Dry, chest-level mix, sharp and confrontational., rap
