Wait 'Til I Get Home - Single

Man...
I knew I messed up soon as she picked up that phone
Not Ms. Jackson, bruh... not her…

Third period math, I was wildin' in the back
Tappin' on the desk, tryna spit a lil rap
Threw a paper plane, hit the smart girl head
She turned around and said, "Boy, you finna be dead"

Ms. Jackson snapped, said, "I've had enough!"
Sent me to the office man, they lookin' tough
Principal like, "This your third strike, son"
Pulled out the file, then picked up the phone... run

She said, "Hello?"
He said, "It's about your child…"
I heard her voice go from calm to wild
"Put him on the line right now."
I said, "Hey ma…"
She said, "Don't say nothin' else. You gon' feel it when I get off this 12."

She said, "Wait 'til I get home!"
(You gon' learn today)
"Keep actin' grown!"
(With your smart mouth ways)
"No games, no phone, no TV on"
"You better be sleepin' when I hit that door!"
But I already know, she comin' with the belt
Ain't no savin' me now Lord help yourself
So I prayed, and I cleaned, but it's still gon' hurt
When mama get home from work...

So I mopped the floors, made her favorite rice
Put on gospel music, tryin' to act real nice
Did the dishes, fed the cat, took out the trash
Even wore church pants, tucked in real fast

I texted Auntie like, "Tell her I'm changed"
She said, "Uh-uh, she mad, boy, you still in range"
At 6:05 I heard them keys
That door swung open like a horror scene

She said, "You think school a joke?"
I said, "No ma'am…"
She said, "You think them grades don't matter?"
I said, "I understand…"
She said, "You embarrassin' me out here?"
I said, "I was playin'…"
She said, "Lay across that bed."
I knew what she was sayin'…

She said, "Wait 'til I get home!"
(Oh no, not the switch!)
"Keep actin' grown!"
(That belt do snitch!)
"No games, no phone, no snacks, no fun"
"And don't cry now, it just begun"
She comin' with the heat, like old school love
That tough kinda hug you don't want none of
Yeah, I prayed, and I ducked, but I still got hurt
When mama got home from work...

But look, now I walk straight, talk nice
Do my homework and I act right
Mama ain't mean, she just old-school
Taught me lessons that they don't teach in school

Now I thank her for the discipline
Even when that belt start whisperin'
Cause she loved me through the mess I made
Even when I had them C-minus grades

She said, "Wait 'til I get home!"
(You gon' learn today!)
"Keep actin' grown!"
(With your slick wordplay)
Now I sit up front, no more clownin' the class
Tryna be the kid that make my mama laugh
Cause that love come hard, but it shaped me strong
And I ain't tryin' to get whooped all life long!
