Therapy Lyrics – Young M.A
Therapy Young M.A Lyrics
Born in Brookdale around 130 or two
I was the new baby, so grandma called me new
The next biggest thing out of Brooklyn, who would have knew?
Since the youngin I was going in, I ain’t even know it then
It was therapy, ’cause I was rapping shit I’m holding in
My mama paid for all the studios that I was going in
She said, ”This what you want? Record a couple and we’ll go again”
Before that she got me a karaoke for Christmas
Never wrote her a wish list, it was a mother’s instincts
I was a little different
Always needed my distance and I was never a princess
I was always the misfit
Little Tomboy, well known in the neighborhood
And only girl on the football team, ’cause I played it good
Been confident since a shorty, if I could do it, I would
Tryna be successful in anything that I could
Living in VA kind of taught me a lil’ patience
I’ll forever be grateful for that part I was raised in
Gave me a little structuring for that dream I was chasing
I moved back to Brooklyn and painted a demonstration
Then I lost the love of my life in the same year
Really went from loving my life to I hate it here
Obituary in my hand, like, why is his name here?
Looking in the casket, like, why is he laying there?
Man, I knew my life would never be the same again, ’cause what I know he’ll do for me, I had to do the same for him
Gave up anything I ever had in exchange for him
I used to question God and it were times that I was blaming him
You know you watching over me, but damn, I really need you here
And what made it worse is that this happened in my senior year
I couldn’t even concentrate, I ain’t even see it clear
Walking out of therapy, ’cause I ain’t wanna be in there
Class of 2010 graduated out of sheep’s head
As soon as I hit the streets, as soon as the streets fled
I became a lion and I was coming for the sheep’s head
My mama wasn’t working off the rip, I knew I needed bread
Always been the leader in the lead, you gotta be ahead
Caught up in that darkness, it’s hard to even see ahead
I wanted to see green, but my demons got me seeing red
Quit my 9-to-5 and said, “Fuck it, I’m selling weed instead”
Then I became a demon
The Henny start the creeping
I was never home, ’cause I was more in the streets then
The first time I ever got booked was 2013-ish
I did some other shit, but I’d rather keep it a secret
Fast foward, got up out them streets, I had to make a way
In the studio, the only way to take the pain away
If I ain’t wanna die or go to jail, I had to stay away
Had to make a sacrifice, that’s why I’m Young M.A today

Therapy Lyrics Young M.A Song Meaning:🎤🔥
This song is a deeply personal story about Young M.A’s childhood, family, grief, struggles, street life, and journey into music. She describes growing up as a confident tomboy and misfit, discovering rap at a young age, and how her mother supported her passion by paying for studio sessions and even getting her a karaoke machine.
A major turning point was losing someone she deeply loved during her senior year. The grief left her devastated, unable to concentrate, questioning God, and struggling emotionally. After graduating, financial pressure and the difficult environment around her pushed her toward the streets, selling weed and getting involved in illegal activities. She admits that alcohol and street life changed her and eventually led to her being arrested.
The final part is about choosing music as a way out. She realized that staying in the streets could lead to death or jail, so she sacrificed that lifestyle and focused on making music. Her painful experiences ultimately shaped the person and artist she became.
In short: 👉 “I grew up different, confident, and determined, but tragedy, poverty, grief, and street life pulled me into darkness. Music became my therapy and my way out, and the sacrifices I made are what ultimately made me Young M.A.”
