Good Enough Lyrics - Joe Budden

[Intro] 

Uh, never good enough 

Baby nothin's ever good enough 

Uh, it's what? Uh 

[Interlude: Joe Budden] 

Nothin'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) So I pop one more 'til everything is unclear 

Cause why? (Cause why?) Nothin's ever good enough 

I'm just lookin for somethin, good enough 

[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 murderin 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 tryin to tell me 

what emotions is - I'm emotionless 

I can't explain it, it comes from home 

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

Double is me, feel what I feel and know he's strugglin 

Be tryin to get depression and sufferin 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! 

[Chorus: Joe Budden] 

Nothin'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 wan' be better, than good enough 

[Joe Budden] 

The FRUCK's goin on around here? 

Contrivin and conformin is the norm around here 

It's tension, speak up and violence gets mentioned 

In the 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, irrelevant 

But e'ry word I say niggaz 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 niggaz lack it 

So I get why I'm greeted with spite 

Got nerve bein the truth, life's fine with them believin 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! 

[Chorus w/ minor variatons] 

[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 startin my maturation 

and ignore 'em, let 'em continue they 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 becomin a walkin contradiction 

I tell 'em people change every day 

I tell 'em I've been makin 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, imperfections 

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

Cry me a river, and I'll turn into Mike Phelps 

I'm just givin y'all the best of me 

And y'all just turn that into stress for me 

And so it seem like! 

[Chorus w/ minor variatons]
