J-emcee - Good Enough lyrics

[Verse 1] Who do you call when your dreams don't call back? But being famous s'posed to solve that I had to walk when they told me I'd crawl back How hard can you fall when you never plan to fall back? A dream differed dies and shrivels Every dream dies a little I lost my rainbow when my skittles fell short Chicken Little gave me my weather report Cause now the sky is falling The sky is falling Tears are falling Eyes are bawling These dreams on my back, I swear they weigh a ton So I left them to dry up with raisins in the sun, one [Break 1] When me and Justin were in our soph*more year of high school, we were, um, approached with a proposition from one of the friends of Jay Brown, who's a huge producer at Roc-a-Fella and me and Justin were completely excited, got together all of our music, sent it into him and, so excited, he listened to the first two tracks and said "We weren't good enough." It stings when you have in your head the idea, the thought that you're inferior, that your music or whatever you put your heart into is not good enough. We revolt against that thought.This is a product of a revolution [Verse 2] Wake up sweating, wetting my forehead Poor bed it just witnessed torture He's in the bed right there Waking up made the difference Between a dream and a nightmare He was rocking the crowd of a million Now I'm staring at the ceiling Concealing the stars And now I'm leaking at the eyes Wishes he could close them And the dreams would reprise Giving up brings dreams demise When they leave there are no good goodbyes You're standing where children cry Where they scream why? You're standing where dreams die [Break 2] Since that time, me and Justin have comprised over 50 songs for our third album, Good Enough. We want not only to free ourselves of that thought, but to let everyone out there who has ever heard that know you're not just good enough, you are simply amazing. So I want everybody, who's ever had that thought to find whatever person, whatever group society or person over you. I want you to grab that person and ask them, look into their eyes and ask them "Am I good enough now?" [Sample: As Tall As Lions] Don't be confused Our love is true You can tell by the way I'm looking up Maybe I'm just tired Tired of never knowing.. Cause you know I'm not good enough I know I'm not good enough I know I'm not good enough I know I'm not good enough, for you [Verse 3] Yo, What's the point of scouts? They too make their talents doubt their talent Hit their lungs make them breathe in without air I'm trying to amount it, the height of the highest mountain In bed with role model that every Augie Farks out there Trying to make tracks sell by Making every sale by Changing up the style And repressing the swelter But its depressing to sell knives To a country thats been backstabbed And peel back scabs and ransacked I guess I'll just be good enough I guess I'll just be good enough Yeah I know I'm not good enough I know I'm not good enough For you
