[Chorus] Young- young son Don't let me down young son, I'm trusting you Young son Don't let me down young son, I'm trusting you Young son Don't let me down young son, I'm trusting you Young son Don't let me down young son, I'm trusting you Young son [Verse 1: Grand Puba] Now don't get caught up by the corner You know these blocks be hotter than a sauna Don't let them peers put the pressure on ya And when you make moves, make moves 'cause you wanna Don't be caught up on some monkey-see, monkey-do Stay focused, and understand the thug in you And just handle your business And always be persistent like Jehovah's Witness And never take no for an answer Unless it be a chick 'cause you could end up in some shit Like some bullshit they hit Kobe with You don't want to be a baby daddy better rubber it See I'm just telling you what I know Don't let haters mess with your flow Don't be stupid and trick your dough And always be careful of them shiesty hoes Yeah [Chorus] Young son Don't let me down young son, I'm trusting you Young son Don't let me down young son, I'm trusting you Young son Don't let me down young son, I'm trusting you Young son Don't let me down young son, I'm trusting you Young son [Verse 2: Lord Jamar] I need you to hold the fort down I ain't liking how this judge in court sound I might have to spend time away from the fam And if I do then I'm a need you to act like a man This is no time for tears It's time for you to man up, time to face your fears Looks like your old dad might face some years Don't allow the family name to be disgraced and smeared Protect your mother and little sister If anybody diss them become the pain inflictor So much responsibility I hope you can handle it Here take this 9 mill son, I hope you can handle it You're my only hope for the future And knowing you can do it gives me hope for the future Son I trust you, this is something that you must do Till they release me from these walls or I bust through [Chorus] Young son Don't let me down young son, I'm trusting you Young son Don't let me down young son, I'm trusting you Young son Don't let me down young son, I'm trusting you Young son Don't let me down young son, I'm trusting you [Verse 3: Sadat X] One young son, you wanna get a scholarship The other wanna get a whip from the car dealership Chips off the old block is what pop would say One's on the court, one's in court all day A mother's heart smiles and it grieves at once She cries at home, but in the public she fronts "Where did we fail? How did we prevail?" From the diploma ceremony to the jail, it's a journey One wants to beef one one needs an attorney Two separate from life there heart beats as one They came in to this world together as twins And as long as the world spins they'll be joining You could say one was anointed, the other disappointed But they still love each other, they should, they're brothers Son, get your brother out of jail 'Cause with a little bit of love he can heal [Chorus] Young son Don't let me down young son, I'm trusting you Young son Don't let me down young son, I'm trusting you Young son Don't let me down young son, I'm trusting you Young son Don't let me down young son, I'm trusting you
