EpiQture - Good Enough

[Intro] Am... I... good enough? [Verse 1] I been walking in circles, thinking the same shit Asking the same questions, stuck in the same pit “Am I good as a person? Am I good at this music?” Every time I get close, I find a way to lose it Pen in my hand but it feels kinda heavy Like it’s waiting on proof that I’m actually ready I write a whole verse, then I delete it again ‘Cause my head keeps telling me, “You’re not like them” I hear every flaw, I ignore every win Let the doubt talk loud, let the hope talk thin I compare my start to somebody’s peak Then I wonder why I can barely sleep Try to breathe but my chest feels tight Every “what if” keeps me up all night They say “trust yourself,” yeah, cool, okay But my brain don’t work like that most days [Pre-Chorus] If I’m not perfect, does that mean I’m broken? If I’m not certain, does that mean I’m joking? I look at myself and I hate that I’m stuck Asking the same thing: “Am I good enough?” [Chorus] (Am I good enough?) Say it, hear it crack Every time I try to move, (I feel myself pull back) Every line that I write, every breath that I take Got me asking myself if I’m real or I’m fake (Am I good enough?) When the room goes quiet When nobody’s there (and I can’t deny it) I been carrying doubt, I been carrying stuff Tryna teach my own heart I’m good enough [Verse 2] I’m tired of waiting for confidence to show Like it’s gonna knock once and say “let’s go” Truth is I’m scared but I still press record Still try to be honest, still try to move forward I see other people and I measure my pace Like I’m always behind in some invisible race But I’m still here writing, still here trying Still here even when I feel like I’m lying Some days I feel strong, some days I feel fake Some days I don’t recognize my own face But I keep coming back, even stuck in my head Even when I’d rather stay quiet in bed If I fall, I fall, but I get back up Even when my hands shake, even when it’s rough I ain’t special, I ain’t fearless or tough I’m just trying to be real and not give up [Pre-Chorus] If I’m not flawless, does that mean I’m nothing? If I’m still scared, does that mean I’m fronting? My heart keeps beating, my head stays rough Asking me again: “Am I good enough?” [Chorus] (Am I good enough?) When my voice feels small When I write these lines (and I hate them all) Every scar in my head got a story attached Every doubt got a grip on the way I react (Am I good enough?) When the lights go low When nobody claps (and it’s just my ghost) I been dragging this weight, I been dragging this stuff Tryna tell my own soul I’m good enough [Bridge] Maybe “enough” ain’t something you prove Maybe it’s something you grow into, something you choose Maybe I don’t need to win every fight Maybe showing up is already a fight I’m not fixed, I’m not done, I’m not there But I’m still right here, and I still care Say it out loud till the doubt shuts up— I’m still here, and I’m good enough [Final Chorus] (Yeah, I’m good enough)—even if I’m scared Even if some days (I’m not going nowhere) Every wrong turn still taught me something Every bad night still meant something (Yeah, I’m good enough)—through the stress and doubt Through the times I hid, (through the times I burned out) I’m not waiting on proof, I’ve had enough I’m still here, still trying—I’m good enough [Outro] I'm... good enough!
