My Turn Lyrics – Tyga

My Turn Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
Tyga is making it clear that it’s his time to shine, and he’s stepping into his success with full confidence. The mention of “Usher money” and “let it burn” is likely a nod to Usher’s hit song *Burn*, symbolizing that he’s got so much money that he can afford to spend it freely. When he calls himself an “old school gangster,” he’s emphasizing his experience and authenticity in the game, saying he’s not soft or fake.

He’s unbothered by the competition, confident that no one is catching up to him. Even when he acknowledges someone’s song on the radio, it’s more of a casual nod rather than real concern. Then, he switches to talking about his lifestyle—he’s got women around, money coming in, and he’s not impressed by superficial things like putting someone on a pedestal. Instead, he’s focused on securing his wealth and staying prepared for any challenges (“hard hat strapped up for combat”).

The next few lines highlight his disinterest in small talk—he lets his money speak for itself. He also calls out the difference between social media appearances and reality. When he talks about a private function, he’s implying exclusivity and questioning how certain people even got in, showing that he moves in elite circles. The verse ends with him declaring that this is his year and joking about making so much money that he might as well be a cashier.

[Chorus]
The chorus is a repetitive and bold declaration that it’s Tyga’s turn to take over. By repeating the phrase “It’s my turn,” he’s reinforcing the idea that he’s at the top now, ready to dominate the scene. He briefly questions what he’s learned along the way, but it’s more rhetorical—his focus is on success. The reference to “Usher money, let it burn” comes back, again emphasizing his financial power. The simplicity of the chorus makes it catchy, almost like a victory chant, reaffirming his confidence and success.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, Tyga paints a picture of his glamorous lifestyle, partying with top models and celebrities. The mention of “Winnie” could refer to model Winnie Harlow, reinforcing the idea that he’s surrounded by high-status people. He flexes his wealth with jewelry (“ice on my finger”) and his connection with artists, suggesting that he’s deeply embedded in the industry.

He questions why people are so curious about who’s in his Sprinter van, implying that he has an air of mystery and exclusivity. His wrist being “on winter” refers to his icy, expensive watches, and “paper on printer” means his money is continuously stacking up. He dismisses his ex, showing that he’s moved on. Calling himself a “mentor” suggests that others look up to him, but he immediately downplays their flashy diamonds, hinting that their wealth doesn’t compare to his.

He acknowledges that people are throwing shade at him, but he’s throwing it right back. The “McLeod Parade” line is likely a reference to a celebratory atmosphere, and “on their knees, they juice to pray” could mean people either idolize him or want what he has. When he tells a woman to choose between a new watch or purse, it shows his generosity but also his casual attitude toward spending money. He teases someone for not even getting cake on their birthday, a playful jab suggesting they aren’t living as lavishly as he is. The verse ends with him reassuring a woman that if she’s with him, she has nothing to worry about financially.

[Chorus]
Once again, the chorus emphasizes that Tyga is in his prime. The repeated lines act as an anthem of confidence, reinforcing the idea that he’s on top. He reminds everyone that he has plenty of money and isn’t afraid to spend it. The phrase “What I learned?” is almost dismissive, as if to say that all that matters is that it’s his moment, and he’s capitalizing on it. The beat and the chant-like repetition make it an infectious hook, keeping the energy high.

[Outro]
In the outro, Tyga repeats the idea that he’s back and fully aware of the shade people are throwing at him. “Masquerade” suggests that people are putting on fake personas, while he remains real. Instead of letting negativity affect him, he’s responding with his own level of confidence and shade, proving that he’s unfazed by the hate. It’s a short but powerful way to end the song, reinforcing the overall theme of dominance and success.
