Instrumentality - Good Enough lyrics
[Instrumentality - Good Enough lyrics]
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
When me and Justin were in our sophomore
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 thoughtThis is
A product of a revolution
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
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?"
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
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 it's 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
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
