[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
