Not Good Enough
I woke up and started thinking that I'm not good enough
I know I gotta stay strong, I gotta overcome
Remaining stagnant proving hard, it's proving difficult
I know I gotta stay strong, I gotta overcome
I woke up and started thinking that I'm not good enough
I know I gotta stay strong, I gotta overcome
Remaining stagnant proving hard, it's proving difficult
I know I gotta stay strong, I gotta overcome
I look at my favourite emcees and I admire them
Cause they were once in the current position I am in
Dropping songs for like 5 people, never tiring
Consistently having faith that one day they’ll be leviathans
And, look at them now, the feeling must be unmatched
But, sometimes I sit and just try to do all the math
I mean, don’t get me wrong I believe in myself
And Hip-Hop is in my veins, fam I bleed nothing else
But I listen to my top 10 and wonder if I can match them
They on a level I cannot begin to fathom
They capture hearts from Tokyo all the way to the Hamptoms
And I’m busy struggling to produce a single anthem
I woke up and started thinking that I'm not good enough
I know I gotta stay strong, I gotta overcome
Remaining stagnant proving hard, it's proving difficult
I know I gotta stay strong, I gotta overcome
I woke up and started thinking I'm not good enough
I know I gotta stay strong, I gotta overcome
Remaining stagnant proving hard, it's proving difficult
I know I gotta stay strong, I gotta overcome
Look I know that I’m not Kendrick and I know that I'm not Cole
I’m bringing forth a message that the world is yet to know
All these artists got their stories, I’m just trying to tell my own
But in the quest of finding glory, I’ve lost faith in what I’ve known
I used to believe I was destined, l was convinced this my calling
Thought I’d have made it in the game but man this shit is stalling
The Problem needs solving
Harder working with less talking
Fewer breaks, no stopping
Proper psyche evolving
I want it so bad,
But it takes something I might not have
Doubting my ass
Insecure cause progress anti-fast
Impatiently sad
Only getting older, can’t look back
But I’m facing the past
Hoping that the future full of plaques
I woke up and started thinking that I'm not good enough
I know I gotta stay strong, I gotta overcome
Remaining stagnant proving hard, it's proving difficult
I know I gotta stay strong, I gotta overcome
I woke up and started thinking I'm not good enough
I know I gotta stay strong, I gotta overcome
Remaining stagnant proving hard, it's proving difficult
I know I gotta stay strong, I gotta overcome
Not good enough
I might just not be good enough
Not good enough
I might just not be good enough
The rap game been over run
It’s 10 times as hard to become someone
So as zero stays my income
I remain trying to rise above
This EP full of songs I felt didn’t qualify for the tape
Perfectionist with the music, hence the long ass delay
Perfectionist with the music, I can’t wait to see the day
We airing on Trace, God willing it’s sooner than it is late
I wonder how I’m gonna get through life without my momma's prayers
I swear
They’ve kept me going, years after her last breath of air
And I need them now more than ever
Hope they last till forever
I know she believed I was good enough to handle the pressure
I woke up and started thinking that I'm not good enough
I know I gotta stay strong, I gotta overcome
Remaining stagnant proving hard, it's proving difficult
I know I gotta stay strong, I gotta overcome
I woke up and started thinking I'm not good enough
I know I gotta stay strong, I gotta overcome
Remaining stagnant proving hard, it's proving difficult
I know I gotta stay strong, I gotta overcome
