Good Enough

[Hook: Joe Budden]

Baby, nothing's ever good enough

Nothing's ever good enough

Hollywood, think he too good for us

Nigga's emo, he ain't in the hood enough

How bout he's just misunderstood to us

Vision is fine, I can still hear

So I pop one more till everything is unclear

'Cause nothin's ever good enough

I'm just lookin for something, good enough

[Verse 1: Joe Budden]

Wonder where his mind is

If everyone's impression is wrong then maybe mine is

Jury's out but the verdict's 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 'em humility

Insensitive, don't waste time tryna tell me what emotions is

I'm emotionless

I can't explain it, it come from home

Make me uncomfortable and you gon' put me in a comfort zone

Double is me, feel what I feel and know what struggling be

Tryna get depression to suffer from me

When your head's cluttered with noise you get lost

Am I isolated by choice or by force?

Listen, the fuck y'all expect from me?

Already given y'all the best of me, but it seem like...

[Hook: Joe Budden]

Nothing's ever good enough

Hollywood, think he too good for us

Nigga's emo, he ain't in the hood enough

How 'bout he's just misunderstood to us

Vision is fine, I can still hear

(So I) So I pop one more 'til 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 to always try to be good enough

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

So instead of bein good enough

I just wanna be better, than good enough

[Verse 2: Joe Budden]

The fuck's 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 you and retain a lawyer

They told me, "Once you get the fame you get the paranoia"

They say that he a has-been, irrelevant

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 through 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 of me, still it seem like

[Hook w/ minor variatons]

Nothing's ever good enough

[Verse 3: Joe Budden]

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 they masturbation

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

So I tell em mind they business and let me stray

They say that you becoming a walking contradiction

I tell 'em people change every day

I tell 'em I've 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 of me

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