Never Be Enough

Could give you everything, it’ll never be enough
Could spill my guts and it’ll never be enough
Fill up my cup and it’ll never be enough
Late night bending corners, ain’t no need of waiting up (2x)
Brenda had a baby, back in eighty-two
Ain’t throw him in the dumpster, instead, she made some room
Loved to play the blues, while he was waiting in the womb
Even tried to feed him too, with a silver plated spoon
Only stating what is true, wide-eyed, with ashy elbows
Ended up on Jewell Ave, a ways from Melrose
Wore Payless Velcro’s, always wanted the shell-toes
Used to ask his folks for the J’s and they said: «Hell, no!»
Always felt close without having it all
They wasn’t always home, but they was always involved
Though the neighborhood programs already installed
Didn’t stray too far from the way he was taught
Right or wrong, crooked or straight, no looking away
And it all, black and white, he partook in the grey
Take the good with the bad, every hood is the same
And you came to the wrong place if you was looking for saints
I say
Could give you everything, it’ll never be enough
Could spill my guts and it’ll never be enough
Fill up my cup and it’ll never be enough
Late night bending corners, ain’t no need of waiting up (2x)
And pops gave him game, I can tell that you lost
Ain’t ever about the wins, but who the hell you done fought
Do them crimes by yourself, cause they tellin' the laws
Can’t trust blind justice, the scale will be off
But, slow money, is better than no money
Don’t think I agree, been waiting on show money
I was broke as a joke, like nigga, what’s so funny
Yet I still got love for niggas that stole from me
Heard words like «real» out the mouth of these fake niggas
Call each other «Bro», be waiting to snake niggas
Ain’t here to entertain or even debate with them
If you ain’t really fam, can’t even engage with them
See, how I was raised was money don’t make niggas
Niggas make money, trip off of the fame nigga
When I think about can’t even blame niggas
Guess it is what it is I never could hate niggas, but
Could give you everything, it’ll never be enough
Could spill my guts and it’ll never be enough
Fill up my cup and it’ll never be enough
Late night bending corners, ain’t no need of waiting up (2x)
