Fences

[Verse 1]
This is the time
That I would like to acknowledge
All of those in our lives
If we could take a moment
And just live up to it
Own it
That would be just fine
Because they make these sacrifices
Just to get us through the night
And all of the sudden
It's like who turned off the lights

[Pre-Chorus]
And I look up to my mother
And a tear comes to her eye
But she will be alright
Alright
And then she says

[Chorus x2]
Good enough
Just won't make it
Kid you gotta take it
Into your own hands
Oh my god
It's making sense
With all this time we're hanging around
Sitting on the fences

[Verse 2]
So take a look around you
These people founded you
From a conversation
And how bout a holler
For all of those
Who don't get bothered
When you keep them waiting
What about that 7:00 AM call
Can you come get me at this place
And there's a hole in the rug
From all the steps that you've been pacing

[Pre-Chorus]
And I look up to my father
And I thank him for his patience
I finally say it
I think we'll make it
We finally made it
We finally made it
And then he says

[Chorus x2]
Good enough
Just won't make it
Kid you gotta take it
Into your own hands
Oh my god
It's making sense
With all this time we're hanging around
Sitting on the fences
