KXNG Crooked
Am I Good Enough
[Lyrics from Snippet]
[Intro: Royce Da 5'9"]
You know what they say
Along with great talent comes great responsibility
[?]
Criticism
House Gang
[Verse 1: Joe Budden]
They asking how we keep trucking without the regrets
Made nine lives survive through a thousand deaths
Came in cocky like this new cash king
And won't nothing, a real jam on your new jack swing
They undervalued my awe, killed me but I live with that
Everything the game ever gave me, thought about giving back
Dealt with being doubted, the weak got cherished
Should've been jealous but the real n***a in me wouldn't allow it
Certain shit just instilled in me
It's still about skill to me, but it's only pills in me
My mama telling I might go [?]
[?]
And so I signed up now, let it be in court
Because it's death before dishonor, if I step you on the drama
I put it all on the line and y'all erased that shit
So the question that I face is this: hip-hop—
[Chorus: Royce Da 5'9" and Joe Budden]
Am I good enough?
Cause I live where n***as don't want to respect you
And want you to die
Go to jail until life [?]
Am I good enough?
Cause all I came in with is my heart, my soul [? ] the skies
Sometimes I felt like I wouldn't survive
Trying not to pay the ultimate price
[Verse 2: KXNG Crooked]
Eight years old, standing in the mirror
Nah let me rephrase that, rapping in the mirror
Not on no Snow White shit, but magic happenin' in the mirror
Showed the reflection of a king in the making, I grew up
Scheming and taking and bringing the bank and retrieving my cake in the street on the pavement
Police are seeking a payment
Just so I don't meet the arraignment
Singing they've got a cell for me, but I ain't eager to take it
I'm leaving it vacant and I'm thinking I can even escape it
If I get knee deep in entertainment, believe in the faith of the leap that I'm taking
I'm dreaming awake and I'm chasing the change in my life
Put up the gun, pick up a mic
But then I won't be good enough, cause I won't be hood enough
For fans and emotional steet n***as who test you...
