Across the Fence

Growing up across the fence
Ain't got a clue what's it's like to live without an expense
Without the worries what I meant
Yea been scraping up these dollars and counting up my cents
Like at the bottoms where I've been
And if you really understand then guess this song will make some sense
Like how the stories begin
Little boy coming up with some faith and his friends
Cause man I'm happy that I saw this shit I'll never take for granite
You'd think that I'd be on depression shit but all I see is a blessing
So lemme take the shoes that you been walking in and see if they linen
You know that I be really preaching from the walls that you
Get what you giving
So what you been giving
Tell me I'll listen
Maybe we can help each other see what we missing
Cause man I'm tired of sitting here we could really be living
Like looking out at things we want would it even make it all different

Reminiscing I use to sit outside
And really think to myself about some shit in our lives
And it would catch my eyes a fucking mansion on the hill
Right on the other side of this fence they built
On that property line that lead to all
Their acres that were mowed real fine
But I ain't give a fuck about it
Thought I was better off without it
Never knew that lifestyle of seeing something that I want and buy it
Nah man fuck it I was pious and I'd I see something I want
I'd shut my mouth and just be quiet
Cause I knew that there was bigger shit going on that I couldn't see
Parents workings their ass off in different homes thinkin is it due to me
Nah cause I grew up I saw what life would truly be
Nothing but a world that's going round built off some broken dreams
Uh

So we just runaway runaway
Into the comfort of some better place
Feel like it's far away far away
But I swear that I can get there today
Can we go all the way all the way
Across this fence until I'm saved
Make my problems go away go away
I hope that we can all just stay

Now don't get it wrong
Those broken dreams are a gift
The fact people even have em is something hard to forget
To get up going after em with courage never to quit
Something short of miracles of gods blessings he gives
But people don't wanna see it like that
As soon as something goes wrong it's like they under attack
But man this life has got a funny way of teaching you that
No matter what you think is going wrong
It's gonna bring you right fucking
Back to reality
Slim don't be mad at me
You let me know when I was young
I got some shit inside of me
And it ain't matter where your from
But instead on what you try to be
So baby come and catch a vibe with me
And maybe ride with me
I know that I be broke and dumb
But you ain't see this shit that I believe
And until that day that kingdom come
I got these real ones beside of me
And we screaming fuck society and what they try to tell us to be
I ain't got a lot of time before I'm six underneath
And god done blessed me with some gifts I think you should see
So all the thanks go up to thee
For the air that I breath
And grass that is green
Gave me some really hard lessons
But I love what he teach
And even though the other side of the fence look greener to me
I know deep down that I got all that I need
So we just riding around and feeling the breeze
Living somewhere in a different world like it's all just a beach
And we can spend all our time laid out by the sea
Looking up at the clouds and making out whatever we please
Man you say that I'm dreaming but what does that leave
At least I'm chasing something that gives me a purpose
I know that it's worth it
And even when you try to cut me down and I fall to my knees
There's always someone comes around
To let you know it's not out of reach

So we just runaway runaway
Into the comfort of some better place
Feel like it's far away far away
But I swear that I can get there today
Can we go all the way all the way
Across this fence until I'm saved
Make my problems go away go away
I hope that we can all just stay

I remember walking all up and down them streets
In my head imagining the things I could be
Leaving worries of the future behind of me
Never knowing where it's going or where it leads
We were kids just living life getting by with ease
Never thought the days like those would go and leave
But I know in my soul that's how it's supposed to be
I'm just glad I did it all and got hope to preach

So we just runaway runaway
Into the comfort of some better place
Feel like it's far away far away
But I swear that I can get there today
Can we go all the way all the way
Across this fence until I'm saved
Make my problems go away go away
I hope that we can all just stay
