Young Boy Songtext
von BackRoad Gee

Yo, yo

Trust, trust
A relationship built on mutual trust and respect
Bad energy, that′s what I deflect
My life, I sold that, that's what I protect
I put my life on the line for my siblings
Ask me how the times have been testing
I don′t think I can ever forget

Listen to me, young boy
You gotta man up, believe, young boy
There's no love in the streets, young boy
You gotta conquer and achieve, young boy
Life is mean, it's bleak, young boy
Big fears don′t clinch, young boy
Trust me, I′ve been through some stuff
I know ain't perfect, yeah


Listen to me, young boy
You gotta man up, believe, young boy
There′s no love in the streets, young boy
You gotta conquer and achieve, young boy
Life is mean, it's bleak, young boy
Big fears don′t clinch, young boy
Trust me, I've been through some stuff
I know ain′t perfect, yeah

Trust them niggas, always look better
I don't wanna see you in a cage, cell-head
Being a man comes with too much pressure
Head up, chin up, you gotta do better
God loves a child, stay on the mission

You're a king, stay strong for your siblings
It ain′t no time for the pressure, you′ll get it
If not, then quite, forget it
Someone else gon' come and take it
Tackle your life, I know it′s testing
This is life, young man, don't play

I wish somebody told me this
Don′t mean nothing if you don't take a risk
Are you taking a piss?
It don′t mean nothing if you don't take a risk
Yeah!


Listen to me, young boy
You gotta man up, believe, young boy
There's no love in the streets, young boy
You gotta conquer and achieve, young boy
Life is mean, it′s bleak, young boy
Big fears don′t clinch, young boy
Trust me, I've been through some stuff
I know I′m perfect, yeah

Listen to me, young boy
You gotta man up, believe, young boy (cool, cool)
There's no love in the streets, young boy
You gotta conquer and achieve, young boy
Life is mean, it′s bleak, young boy
Big fears don't clinch, young boy
Trust me, I′ve been through some stuff
I know ain't perfect (oh my God)

Listen to me, young boy
This is the truth, young boy
I was a lost, young boy
Then I turned into a focused, young boy
Always moving and looking, young boy
'Cause I had big dreams, young boy

Caught in the money, no rules, young boy
But I was just too young, boy
Now that I′m the one, young boy
Locked up in the system, from my young boy
Trust me, your future′s bright, young boy

Don't wanna follow them, man, young boy
You got your own life ahead of you, young boy
Cherish that, young boy
Find the one, young boy

Have a daughter, have a son, young boy
But never forget to tell them

Listen to me, young boy
You gotta man up, believe, young boy
There′s no love in the streets, young boy
You gotta conquer and achieve, young boy
Life is mean, it's bleak, young boy
Big fears don′t clinch, young boy
Trust me, I've been through some stuff
I know ain′t perfect, yeah

Listen to me, young boy
You gotta man up, believe, young boy
There's no love in the streets, young boy
You gotta conquer and achieve, young boy
Life is mean, it's bleak, young boy
Big fears don′t clinch, young boy
Trust me, I′ve been through some stuff
I know ain't perfect, yeah
