"Dear JT" by Yung Miami mourns a friendship that survived poverty, violence, and prison only to unravel after success. Miami remembers matching pink outfits, fighting side by side, and holding things down when JT was locked up, but now public fallout and distance replace that loyalty. The repeated question about why the road turned carries the ache of not knowing what went wrong. She asks directly if JT still loves her, and the unanswered longing turns shared history into grief over a sisterhood that could have made history.
Dear JT Lyrics by Yung Miami
Ooh (Damn)
Woah (I remember when it was)
Ooh, I’m missin’ you (“Get they ass, Miami” and “JT on the track”)
Tell me why the road turned, hmm-mm
Ooh, I’m missin’ you
Tell me why the road turned (Missin’ you)
JT, we done came a long way (Damn)
From matchin’ pink sets to big jets to writin’ checks (Crazy)
Before the City Girls, way before Caresha, Please
It was you and me at Ponita house trying to make ends meet
You know how the crib be (You know)
Shootouts in broad day, dreadheads ridin’ ’round on them Banshees (305)
Carol Mount parking lot, dunk riders ridin’ out
Everybody know what a bitch from Miami ’bout (Miami)
We done had some dark times, we done had some hard times (Damn)
Threw hands and faded bitches who done cross lines
Mama got locked up but then you got locked up (Shit)
Dealin’ with a lot of stuff, ain’t gon’ lie, we had it rough
Now it’s filet mignon, we gettin’ flewed out
Shoppin’ in Barcelona, that’s what we do now (Haha)
A lot of shit done changed, everything new to me
Feels like I’m losin’ you, girl, ‘member it used to be
Ooh (Ooh), I’m missin’ you
Tell me why the road turned (Tell me why the road turned, tell me)
Ooh, I’m missin’ you
Tell me why the road turned, oh
Letter to my friend ’cause I know they got a narrative (JT)
Fallin’ out with my sister in public, so embarrassing (Crazy)
When you went in, I held it down, no comparison (Damn)
Now we ain’t seein’ eye to eye, I wonder why (Why?)
When you was dead wrong, I used to act blind
We used to get our periods at the same time
We was like sisters, if I wasn’t raisin’ a kid
I would’ve been with you, caught up in the system
Thick as thieves, modern-day Thelma and Louise
At the pad, niggas on they knees (Oh)
JT, do you love me? (Do you love me?)
Reminiscin’ in my feelings ’bout 2018, it was a scene (Ooh)
Shit crazy now, our relationship ain’t what it used to be
We supposed to been together, but I guess it ain’t meant to be
Sis, we could’ve made history
And we done grew apart, now that’s no more
And I tried to be there, but you wouldn’t let me in (No)
But now you’re gone away and I, I feel so brokenhearted
I knew the day we started that we were meant to be
If only you’d let me
(Ooh, I’m missin’ you) Oh, I’m missin’, missin’ you
(Tell me why the road turned) Tell me what I did to hurt you
(Ooh, I’m missin’ you) Oh, I miss my bitch, yeah, since you been away, yeah
(Tell me why the road turned) I’m missin’ you
