[Puba]

Now don't get caught up by the corner

You know these blocks be hotter than a sauna (young son)

Don't let them peers put the pressure on ya

And when you make moves, make moves cause you wanna (young son)

Don't get caught up on some monkey-see, monkey-do

Stay focused, and understand the thug in you (young son)

And just handle your business

And always be persistent, like Jehovah's Witness (young son)

and never take no for a answer

unless it be a chick cause you could end up in some shit (young son)

like some bull shit they hit Kobe with

you dont want to be a baby daddy better rubber it (young son)

see am just telling you what I know

dont let haters mess with your flow

dont be stupid and trick your dough

and always be careful of them shiesty hoes (young son)

yea

[chorus x5]

young son don't let me down young son am trusting you

young son

[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 (young son)

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 (young son)

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 (young son)

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 (young son)

[chorus x5]

young son dont let me down young son am trusting you

young son

[Sadat]

One young son, he want to get a scholarship

The other want to get a whip from the car dealership

Chips off the old' block is what pop will 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 a 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 annoying the other disappointed

But they still love each other they should there brothers

Son get your brother out of jail

Because with a little bit of love he can heel (young son)

[chorus x5]

young son dont let me down young son am trusting you

young son [scratching]
