Goodnight Moon

Verse 1:

Deep breath
Exhale
Breathing free air
Fresh outta jail
A brand new start
Ya done w/ petty crime
Trying to find any way that you can make back the time
An uphill climb, the system's stacked against
Show progress, or they’ll stick you back in
Recidivism's high when jobs are hard to come by
Strict parole can make it tough for those of us to comply
Hell or high water, you gotta feed your daughter
Went on some interviews, finally gotta job offer
Today's your first day, running hella late
Delayed bus & train, failing to cooperate
Don’t wanna violate, they'll revoke probation
So you hurry hustle just to make orientation
Quarter after late when you were s'posed to arrive
But the bossman lets it slide, looks you in your eyes says

Chorus:
The night is young/
We've only just begun...
(We good, we good, we good, we good.)
The night is young/
We've only just begun...
(We good, we good, we good, we good.)

Verse 2:

Tonight's the night
You set the stage
You synced calendars and ya'll are on the same page
Been married 12 years, kinda stuck in your ways
2 kids, work/life, ya'll could use some time away
A night on the town, rekindle magic
Act like newlyweds, talk, flirt, joke, and laugh with
Dancing, drinks, dinner candlelit
You shaved everywhere, gotta new bra and panty set
The music’s ambient, as you stare at pictures on the mantle
The babysitter calls last minute, had to cancel
You’re hella crushed, dashed all your plans
Just then, he walks in with a wine bottle in his hands
That's when you see he set a tent up in the backyard
So you and he could lay and eat and look up at moon and stars
Hand on the small of your back, after all these years
He pulls you close with passion and whispers softly in your ear

Chorus:
The night is young/
We’ve only just begun...
(We good, we good, we good, we good.)
The night is young/
We've only just begun...
(We good, we good, we good, we good.)

Verse 3:

You think the sun set?
You think it's over with?
You think it's time to toss the towel in and call it quits?
Those that’d hate to see you great would love all of this
But your success ain't by committee or parliament
No need to argue it, to them it seems odd
But they ain't scraped and clawed with you to get this far
I believe in a God who has ordered my steps
So to exit stage left
Would be the highest form of disrespect
Yes, for all of us they said was washed
They tried to put the kibosh on plans they can't squash
Tell'em hell nah, and to start livin' to their means
Them people want permission to give up on their dreams
Or so it would seem, what's progress if not opposed?
For everyone ever told that their window is closed
No
Emphatically shout this verse
If you believe Your 2nd act'll be better than your first

Chorus:
The night is young/
We've only just begun...
(We good, we good, we good, we good.)
The night is young/
We've only just begun...
(We good, we good, we good, we good.)
