Wow

Expression of surprise or admiration

Before Anythang

Emphasizing the importance of something before everything else

Hot boy Turk

Introduction of the artist, Hot Boy Turk

Before Anythang

Reiteration of the significance of being "Before Anythang"

Wait, hol' up

Pause or moment of reflection

Wait, hol' up

-

Yeah

Acknowledgment or agreement

I'm Mr. YNT

Identification as Mr. YNT (Youth 'N' Thuggin)


If you only knew my struggle, you'll respect my hustle (you'll respect my hustle)

Highlighting personal struggles and the need for respect

I got it out the mud, ain't nobody gave me nothin' (ain't nobody gave me nothin')

Emphasizing self-made success without external assistance

A lot of sweat and blood, nigga, came with the muscle (came with the muscle)

Underlining the hard work and physical effort involved

I made it through the flood, now you bitch niggas in trouble (now you bitch niggas in trouble)

Surviving difficult times and putting others in trouble


If you only knew my struggle, you'll respect my hustle (you'll respect my hustle)

Repetition for emphasis on struggle, hard work, and consequences

I got it out the mud, ain't nobody gave me nothin' (ain't nobody gave me nothin')

-

A lot of sweat and blood, nigga, came with the muscle (came with the muscle)

-

I made it through the flood, now you bitch niggas in trouble (now you bitch niggas in trouble)

-

Wait, left a nigga drowning, but I made it out the flood (I made it out the flood)

Overcoming challenges and emerging successfully

Ain't nobody gave me nothin', had to get it out the mud (get it out the mug)

Stressing the self-made nature of achievements

Back when I was druggin', man I did so many drugs (I did)

Reflection on past drug use

Lotta nigga turn they back on me, even my own blood (that's fucked up)

Experiencing betrayal, even from close ones

That's why I don't got no love for you niggas, I got slugs (bang, bang, bang, bang)

Expressing lack of love and resorting to violence

And I heard the feds watchin', so I'm sweepin' for the bugs (sweepin' for the bugs)

Awareness of law enforcement surveillance

So much money had to hide, in the floor under the rug (I did)

Hiding wealth and the challenges of legal issues

And the jury undecided, only God can be my judge (hol' up, nigga)

Reliance on divine judgment

Now you bitch niggas in trouble (a-ha), I'm the quaterback in the huddle (a-ha)

Asserting dominance and readiness for conflict

Wanna go to war, let's tuggle nigga (let's tuggle nigga, let's tuggle nigga)

-

I know all about the struggle (a-ha), nigga (hol' up, a-ha)

Understanding the hardships of life

That's why every day I hustle, nigga

Consistent dedication to hustling


If you only knew my struggle, you'll respect my hustle (you'll respect my hustle)

Repetition for emphasis on struggle, hard work, and consequences

I got it out the mud, ain't nobody gave me nothin' (ain't nobody gave me nothin')

-

A lot of sweat and blood, nigga, came with the muscle (came with the muscle)

-

I made it through the flood, now you bitch niggas in trouble (now you bitch niggas in trouble)

-

If you only knew my struggle, you'll respect my hustle (you'll respect my hustle)

Reiteration of the theme of struggle and triumph

I got it out the mud, ain't nobody gave me nothin' (ain't nobody gave me nothin')

-

A lot of sweat and blood, nigga, came with the muscle (came with the muscle)

-

I made it through the flood, now you bitch niggas in trouble (now you bitch niggas in trouble)

-

No more public housing, I got acres and square footage (acres and square footing)

Achieving financial success and property ownership

No more snortin' powder, I'm just on PC's and goodies (PC's and goodies)

Moving away from drug use and enjoying life

I got Gucci, I got Louis, wrap the YNT my hoodie (YNT)

Possession of luxury items, representing success

I been down so fuckin' long, now I'm on my feet like footies (amour)

Overcoming a long period of adversity

I got nigga from my home (a-ha), I don't fuck with, and I shouldn't (don't fuck with)

Addressing disloyalty, returning favors, and skepticism

Thought you was ridin' with the mob, but you showed me that you couldn't (pussy)

-

Gave back that time, know you niggas thought I wouldn't (I gave that time back)

-

Bad bitch on my side, got them other ho lookin' (she bad)

Having an attractive partner

Hopper I'm on fire, ice flow, bitch I'm drippin' (ice)

Displaying confidence and readiness for conflict

And we beef, and I'ma slide (skrrt), keep that forty, I ain't slippin' (pa pa pa pow)

-

Pull up where you stay, come to your door like a shipment (nigga)

Assertive action, potentially violent

I got three conviction, but still ride with dat equipment (wait)

Dealing with legal issues despite previous convictions


If you only knew my struggle, you'll respect my hustle (you'll respect my hustle)

Repetition for emphasis on struggle, hard work, and consequences

I got it out the mud, ain't nobody gave me nothin' (ain't nobody gave me nothin')

-

A lot of sweat and blood, nigga, came with the muscle (came with the muscle)

-

I made it through the flood, now you bitch niggas in trouble (now you bitch niggas in trouble)

-

If you only knew my struggle, you'll respect my hustle (you'll respect my hustle)

Final repetition underscoring overcoming challenges and causing trouble for others

I got it out the mud, ain't nobody gave me nothin' (ain't nobody gave me nothin')

-

A lot of sweat and blood, nigga, came with the muscle (came with the muscle)

-

I made it through the flood, now you bitch niggas in trouble (now you bitch niggas in trouble)
