Yeah good job

I said young man

Sit down

Let me tell you how it's s'posed to be

How they told me

I said young man

If you wanna make God smile

Make plans you've got to be ready

You don't understand

Right now you're a young man

You gon' have to stand for something

Beautiful boy

Got it from your momma

D**n she look good

You might get a sister

By the time you get the picture

If you want a woman this good

Gotta clear your system

And it's all right

If you need to cry

You've got my permission

You can do anything in the world if you listen

Like a young man

Sit down

Let me tell you how it's s'posed to be

How they told me

I said young man

If you wanna make God smile

Make plans you've got to be ready

You don't understand

Right now you're a young man

But you gon' have to stand for something

We don't ever back down don't back down

We don't have to act out don't act out

And even when you fall don't stay down

If you need me around

You know I stay down

And anywhere you go

You can go your own way

If you ask me how I know these things

Remember I once was a

Young man

Sit down

Let me tell you how it's s'posed to be

How they told me

I said young man

If you wanna make God smile

Make plans you've got to be ready

You don't understand

Right now you're a young man yeah

But you gon' have to stand for something

Someday somebody's gonna break your heart in two

And I'll be there

Someday you're gonna break somebodies heart

That's what we do

One day I'll be gone

Son but right now I'm home

No you'll never be alone

Maybe someday you'll be talking to your own

Young man yeah

Mama just can't get enough of you

My little young man yeah

You know your daddy's so proud of you

My little young man yeah

Right now you're a young man

You gon' have to stand for something
