DDY Hye - Fences Lyrics

I can't recall when my closest friends didn't drink
Stories that I'm hearin' in college of classmates
Showin' up late
Throwin' up what they ate in sinks
We all growin' up now
Damn it stinks
Well actually not me
Don't know why I don't take a sip even when around family
That thought beats me
But I can still sleep
Thankfully the liquor and the lips and the liver
They aint meet
Thankfully stayin away from the beers in the fridge for me is easy
Most don't get the same fate
Damn that's insane
Shocked by it even if I see with my own eyes
Some older, some younger, but it really f*cks with me when they the same age
Wonder what got em into it
Was it the rage
Put themselves in and then locked up the cage
F*ck
Especially hurt when it somebody close
When you just see they potential just fade into darkness
Like turnin flashlights on infront of a ghost
Didn't know I'd make it this personal but I might as well
This shit is different from any my usual posts
So f*ck it
I'm already here I be doin the most
Cause I knew this kid
I thought he was great
Until smokin and drinkin had took him away
Convinced him that all of the people that loved him
Can't trust 'em
And he put himself back on a plane
Doin the wildest shit
Bro was insane
It was a cry for attention
We tried to break tensions
But he decided he don't wanna stay
He went down the wrong the lane
Some nights I pray
That he'll be okay
Or maybe he'll come back to his senses
But there's no welcomin' party until he understands he need to clean his own lenses
Until then I'm still paintin' these fences
Really hopin he see 'em
Because the man he wanna be aint in the mirror
So until he change he'll never be him
