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)
