Happy new month to the community! I celebrated my birthday few days ago, I’m so blessed to see another beautiful month. Congratulations to the past winners and great job to the amazing judges @lordbutterfly @verbal-d @silentscreamer.
This week came with a beautiful theme and I’m so pumped to participate. I performed a song titled Good Enough from the movie EMPIRE.
The song 'Good Enough' by Empire Cast conveys the feeling of inadequacy and the constant struggle to meet someone's expectations, symbolized by the metaphor of trying to be 'good enough'. The lyrics express the desire for acceptance and recognition, highlighting the emotional toll of feeling like one's efforts are never sufficient. Good Enough is an original song featured in the Season One episode, Pilot. It is performed by Jamal Lyon and it is featured in the Empire: Music From the Pilot - EP.
This song has a powerful theme that most people can relate to. To everyone out there who has been made to think they have to prove themselves before they can be loved and seen, I need you to know that you are loved, you are seen, you don’t have to fight for recognition because God your Heavenly Father loves you and cares for you truly. Now you have to take the first step by loving your own self, seeing yourself, appreciating yourself and in turn the world would have to embrace your light.
I hope you enjoy this performance.
LYRICS
I gave you all of me
But it still ain′t enough to make you happy
I gave you everything
It still don't measure up
Feel like I walked five thousand miles
And didn′t even come close
Feels like I try to make you smile
But you don't even care, no
I'll never be big enough to pay your dues
But I keep trying
And you just keep making me jump through hoops
What do I gotta do?
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be worth your love
I just want you to look at me
hook
And see that I can be
Good enough (good enough)
Good enough (good enough)
Good enough
And see that I can be, yeah
Good enough (good enough)
Good enough (good enough)
Good enough
Oh, whoa
(Good enough, I can be good enough)
(Good enough, I can be good enough) That I can be
(Good enough, I can be good enough) Good enough
(Good enough, I can be good enough)
I try to show you that I′m strong
Why do I even bother?
′Cause it's the same old damn song
And you call yourself a father, whoa
Feels like I′m reaching for the stars
But Heaven isn't letting me
I wish that I had longer arms
But I know that will never be, never be
I′ll never be big enough to pay your dues
But I keep trying
And you just keep making me jump through hoops
What do I gotta do?
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be worth your love
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough (good enough)
Good enough (good enough)
Good enough
And see that I can be, yeah
Good enough (good enough)
Good enough (good enough)
Good enough
(Look at me)
I'm standing right here waiting for you
Here I am
(Look at me)
Lookin′ for your acceptance
Do you give a damn?
(Look at me)
See, it doesn't matter what you think
I'm still a man
(Look at me)
Open up your eyes
Can′t you see that I′m good enough? (Whoa, whoa)
I just want you to look at me (Look at me)
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough
Good enough
Good enough
I just wanna be
Good enough
Good enough
Good enough
Good enough
