Fences

What's it like
On the other side of the fence
What's it like

What's it like
On the other side of the fence
What's it like

People always seem to chase what they don't have
Be careful what side you choose and what they attract
Meet Dre, you may know him but your lives ain't the same
Let's see what happens when his whole environment change

His step dad, he always locked down from a case
He can only live, where they house section 8
Daddy's never known how to domesticate
He got no resume, goals set to date, slow death awaits
His son obsessed with the good life where they don't ever scrape
He works full time with a second job and they both hella cake
Started chilling with some co-workers, tryna smoke and get some play
They was tryna get in some shit, that they know'll get 'em paid
Ever since he got promoted, he tryna live legit
But all his peers wanna pressure him to find a lick to hit
They got popped but they cases dropped
When it was time to snitch, they did
Pinned it on him, now he sitting, watching
Doing life up in the pen

What's it like
On the other side of the fence
What's it like

What's it like
On the other side of the fence
What's it like

People always seem to chase what they don't have
Be careful what side you choose and what they attract
Meet Trey, you may know him but your lives ain't the same
Let's see what happens when his whole environment change

Real dad, he always thought, just how life is great
The living that he make, came with a house by the lake
Daddy's never home, gotta go catch a plane
He got surveillance on in case he gone, but he don't check the tapes
His son obsessed with the hood life where they don't hesitate
So when's he gone, his son out all night, on a stroll extra late
Got involved with a blood set with some dope, selling weight
Feds got 'em, but he lawyered up, gang won't catch a break
Ever since he told, he's been hiding in the sticks
Didn't know who he snitched on, was hiding with the stick
With the silencer equipped, 5 or 6 hitters riding in the whip
Then he pried the window and he sliding in slow
Put the nine against his lips and blaow

What's it like
On the other side of the fence
What's it like

What's it like
On the other side of the fence
What's it like

When one side's gotta hustle for a check
That the other side's not suffering to get
When guidance is replaced with money and respect
Both sides struggle from neglect
