Never Enough

Yeah

Turn me up in the headphones

Yeah, look

One name, three men, two shadows I'm living in for the rest of my life

One day, 50 years from now

I'm gonna wake up dissatisfied

The label of a third, I never asked for that

Ana said take a break, I chose to pass on that

I need my frame to fit silhouettes of giants

Don't got time for life when I'm too busy trying

Cause the threat of imperfection is what keeps me up

Self-hate try to beat me up

Competitive since I was young

Don't tell me that I do much

Destroying my relationships with best friends just to make a point

And every time I breathe, I feel the pressure not to disappoint

In every single beat I make

With every single stride I take

For every shot that I capture straight

Evade the pit of my mistakes

I'm not the kid I was before

I work 'til I'm not insecure

I lost my biggest fan, but gained a thousand more

And daddy used to tell me, son, the world is gon be rough

He said don't cry so they would see me as tough

What if it's never enough?

What if it's never enough?

And my mommy always told me, son, you have to rise above

Gotta work twice as hard just to get half as much

What if it's never enough?

What if it's never enough?

Who gon love the version of me in moments of loss?

Who gon love the version of me that carries my flaws?

Context, pretext, best friends told me that I got a defect

I'd rather bench than wallow when I'm depressed

I'd rather work my pain away, don't tell me that I need rest

At lifetime the whole summer freeing anger that I repress

Critiques all in my room, so every morning I remind myself

My character is nothing, the results how I define myself

Mommy gonna love me when my GPA is straight

When I surpass my father, he gon tell me that I'm great

That woman gonna chase me when I finally reach that weight

I'll just keep expanding until there ain't no more debate

One day I'll reach solace when I do become the best

Whole perception of love skewed cause now I factor in success

This the damage that black excellence doing to all y'all children

I need therapy but here I am too damn focused on winning

And still it's never enough

And I'm still never enough
