Fences - Magic Bronson

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

And I look up to my mother

And a tear comes to her eye

But she will be alright

Alright

And then she says

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

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

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

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
