Good Enough

Good Enough is an original song in Empire. It is Jamal's first solo song on the series. Becky, Michael and Cookie attend the performance while a flashback shows Lucious punishing his son and Cookie saving him.

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 It feels like I walked 5 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 on making me jump through hoops What do I got to do I just want you to look at me And see that I can be what you love I just want you to look at me And see that I can be Good enough Good enough Good enough Good enough

I try to show you that I'm strong Why do I even bother? Cause it's the same old damn thing You call yourself a father Feels like I'm reaching for the stars But heaven isn't letting me I wish 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 on making me jump through hoops What do I got to do I just want you to look at me And see that I can be what you love I just want you to look at me And see that I can be Good enough Good enough Good enough Good enough
