Joe Budden - Good Enough lyrics

rate me

Nothings ever good enough

Hollywood, think he too good for us

Niggas emo, he ain't in the hood enough

How bout hes just misunderstood to us

Vision is fine, I can still hear

So I pop one more till everything is unclear

Cause... nothings ever good enough

I'm just looking for something... good enough

Wonder where his mind is

If everyones depression is wrong, then maybe mine is

Jurys out, but the verdicts in

Case ain't been heard, so how they murdering him

I appear to be arrogant, that's what they instilled in me

Took it as a weakness when I showed them humility

Insensitive, don't waste time tryin to tell me what

Emotions is, I'm emotionless

I can't explain it, it comes from home

Make me uncomfortable and you gonna put me in a comfort zone

Double as me, feel what I feel and know hes strugglin

Be trying to get depression and suffer from me

When your heads cluttered with noise you get lost

Am I isolated by choice or by force?

Listen, the fuck y'all expect from me

Already givin y'all the best in me, but it seem like...

Nothings ever good enough

Hollywood, think he too good for us

Niggas emo, he ain't in the hood enough

How bout hes just misunderstood to us

Vision is fine, I can still hear

So I pop one more till everything is unclear

Cause... just one wasn't good enough

Crushin it in rum wasn't good enough

The baddest girl wouldn't be good enough

All the cash in the world ain't good enough

{Why? }... cause you can go your hardest for your fans

But like you they only human so they may not understand that

I used always try to be good enough

Couldn't figure out why I wasn't good enough

So instead of being good enough

I just wanna be better than good enough

The fluck is going on around here?

Contriving and conforming is the norm around here

It's tension, speak up and violence gets mentioned

In a world where everybody gets by off silenced opinions

And so I cut the red tape and the politics

Know it's there, I'm just the only nigga to acknowledge it

Learn from the acts that came before ya and retain the lawyer

They told me once you get the fame, you get the paranoia

They say that he a has-been, irrevelant

But every word I say, niggas get hella bent

Tell you why I'm off of the charts or on the bottom of your bracket

I rap thru the heart and some niggas lack it

So I get why I'm greeted with spite, got nerve being the truth

Life's fine with them believing a lie

Even I no longer know what to expect from me

But y'all have yet to see the best in me, still it seem like...

Nothings ever good enough

Hollywood, think he too good for us

Niggas emo, he ain't in the hood enough

How bout hes just misunderstood to us

Vision is fine, I can still hear

So I pop one more till everything is unclear

Cause... just one wasn't good enough

Crushin it in rum wasn't good enough

The baddest girl wouldn't be good enough

All the cash in the world ain't good enough

But you can go your hardest for your fans

But like you they only human so they may not understand that

I used always try to be good enough

I couldn't figure out why I wasn't good enough

So instead of being good enough

I just wanna be better than good enough

Check it, I want it all that's why I strive for it

Diss me and you normally hear a reply for it

But I'm starting my maturation and ignore em

Let em continue their masturbation

Say my actions don't match what I'm spittin

So I tell em mind they business and let me stray

They say that you becoming a walking contradiction

I tell em people change everyday

I tell em I been making my own decisions since a teen

Tell me who the fuck is y'all to intervene, here's a lesson

I'm good enough for me, a nigga seem to be perfection

Fifty grand, v.I.p., queens and perfection

Far from a beginner, nigga ain't a white belt

Cry me a river, and I'll turn into mike phelps

I'm just giving y'all the best in me

And y'all just turn that into stress for me and so it seem like...

Nothings ever good enough

Hollywood, think he too good for us

Niggas emo, he ain't in the hood enough

How bout hes just misunderstood to us

Vision is fine, I can still hear

So I pop one more till everything is unclear

Cause... just one wasn't good enough

Crushin it in rum wasn't good enough

The baddest girl wouldn't be good enough

All the cash in the world ain't good enough

Cause you can go your hardest for your fans

But like you they only human so they may not understand that

I used always try to be good enough

I couldn't figure out why I wasn't good enough

So instead of being good enough

I just wanna be better than good enough
