Toke Wright - Enough

I glance at the mirror and see pain in my eyes
Takes me back to those cold days whenI cried
Daily thinking maybe I'll man up tomorrow
Whole body weak like I'm drowning in sorrow
Storm over my life I just stand in the rain
Staring off in thought, feeling like a stain
Questioning my actions, asking why nobody hit me up
Somebody ask me if I'm good and I always reply with yup
But really it's a lie, I feel all alone
Desperate, and in my ways I feel I'm stuck
Relating to my melancholic tendencies
But trust me I don't wanna fuss I just don't feel like I'm enough
In school I'd feel clueless
Take a paper and pen so I could vent through it
Record a song or two to make true music
But get no listens or views just to feel even more stupid
Sometimes I really don't know who to trust
At times I feel like I am not enough
And it hurts but I bear like I'm cursed
With the air that I breathe but believe in me
I will be better or I will be enough
At least be enough I will be enough
Middle school was the worst
Always surrounded by jerks
They would threaten to jump me, punk me
Their words really hurt
I would try to avoid them but nothing would ever work
The summer right before high school I felt my life start to turn
We moved to an apartment and I start acting heartless
Taking nothing from no one
You mess with me you a target
I would swing on anybody just for looking at me wrong
I felt good about myself and was known by everyone
But it started to fade so to the drugs I relate
Started selling it too, started making some bank
I saw too many things that a kid should never see
Like seeing people drop and it all would mess with me
Started becoming numb, it began to be fun
Chasing down people, yeah and you seeing them run
Thinking back to middle school like at least I'm not a punk
But I still felt empty not knowing what I want
Sometimes I really don't know who to trust
At times I feel like I am not enough
And it hurts but I bear like I'm cursed
With the air that I breathe but believe in me
I will be better or I will be enough
At least be enough I will be enough
I know sometimes when you look back it gets hard
Emotions stir and you get sad or pissed off
But you're a testimony and that's impressive homie
Your scars show that you're alive
Don't be depressed and lonely
Whether mental or physical, they all show the things in your life that you've overcome
And even if this ain't the pinnacle, the principle's the same
Shoot for good things and I'm sure there's more to come
Use it as motivation, that fire burning deep
Even if it keeps you up at night and you feel weak
Set it right, working twice as hard while others sleep
Keep the inspiration moving and you'll find your peace
Don't hold it all to yourself
Others go through the same and they need your help
Some feel like they're alone 'cause you keep it a secret
We're all scarred, believe it
Sometimes I really don't know who to trust
At times I feel like I am not enough
And it hurts, but I bear like I'm cursed with the air that I breathe
But believe in me I will be better or I will be enough
I'm better
I'm enough
