I used to get abused by my step dad and he used to be controlling towards my mom there be days I be to scared to go home I also didn't feel safe leaving my mom home with him and I would be scared to be alone with him it's hard to love someone when they are abusive 😢😢😢
You don't have to be "Gay" to relate to this song. I'm a straight female & I totally can relate. The message it's self "Will I ever be good enough?" & honestly I learned that sometimes you can't please everyone and make them happy. It's life but at the end of the day it's up to you to make yourself happy and do what's best for YOU. We can only live for ourselves. So, am I good enough for you? No? Ok. That's fine. Just because you don't like something I'm doing or Whatever the case may be. The show must go on 😌🙌💯 as long as I'm happy, my life is complete.
To all of you here wishing,thinking,hoping,feeling,relating.... I just want to give you a massive hug and listen to all your stories...forget about good enough... you are the best.. I honestly believe you are... xx
They say fathers are their daughters first loves, and sons first heroes. But what happens when your "first love" has broken your heart and continues to break your heart. What happens when the only man you ever known to be your fathers has made you feel like this? Im 18 going on 19, in college, and I have good grades. I graduated from high school with honors. I can count one hand the number of friends i have. I dont smoke , drink or party. Im a virgin. Im actively looking for a job. Why dont I feel good enough?
Hey pumpkin I don't no u but your comment really got my attention don't look at other people including your father to dictate your worth u r absolutely good enough in u r more than capable to carry out your dreams in goals your fearfully in wonderfully made by god I just want u to no that
You are ABSOLUTELY good enough. You are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God. Continue to do your best and arrive for excellence. I'm sure your dad loves you very much but just can't express it...because he doesn't know how. I hope and pray that the day will come when you feel loved by him. In the meantime...reach for the stars.
I feel the same, my father had too many opportunities to be a good father but he always made me feel like I wasn't good enough, I'm now 16 and this year was when I faced him and told him that he just care about himself, yes it's really sad to know we don't have the parents that we want and deserve but we need to be strong and face them, I felt that was the right thing to do, we just need to care with the people that care with us too... I hope you have everything that you want and do what you feel to do too, stay strong girl! 💪
You are doing this for yourself you are not for your father don't try to impress him or look for look for anything he is not doing to be with you in the future it's going to be just you so be happy and live the life you want without people saying what to do father are not people who are relented to you by blood are the people who help you grow up and love you we cannot be stuck on the same page for the same reason if he doesn't care . move on!!!
jussie Smollett is one out of a few singers who speak the truth, even tho its just for the hit show Empire I feel like This really happened to him in real life and now he is telling his story to the world love u jussie
Same. We were so good omg then as the true fearful avoidant she is l, she ran, and turned me off like a light 😭 Miss her Live in small town See her all the time Heart breaks everytime 8 months now. Still hurts as much
I cry every time i listen to this song. It's so powerful and it can apply to every relationship where people think that you are not good enough. Now this is real music!!!
I sung this for my school concert and my parents were there. I have no beef with my mom but my father. This song was for him. Always gonna be a disappointment in his book and this song explains everything and it's the worst. So dad this one is for you. Even when we locked eyes during my performance and I finished my performance , he didn't congratulate me just walked off. Everybody that this song refers to , stay strong
These are very strong words that requires reflection and mirroring. Although I can not relate on a personal level I do sympathize with those who are longing acceptance rather it be from their fathers, mothers, siblings or other. Acceptance! I accept you as you are! Powerful!
Billie Edwards It's very much appreciated. But myself is very much understanding the words to this song. I have gone through this every day of my life. I keep fighting to be good enough
I think anyone male or female who has had a father that never accepted them or valued them regardless of their achievements can relate, myself included. my father just passed and this song summed up how I felt my whole life! Not to mention Jussie Smollett's voice has the emotion to back it all up!! LOVE the song and it hits a spot for me, isn't that what music is about putting music into words that has an individual meaning for each person
This is one of my favorites. You put your heart into this song. That is what a singer is, someone who makes u feel the music. Great performance u put on the show with this song. I can't wait till u put your music out there, to buy it. You are now one of my favorite singers. Jussie u sing with heart and I luv u as a singer. Finally, some real music
this song describes my relationship with my dad i've made some stupid mistakes in my past and now every thing i do its a problem. this song helps me to realise that i am not worthless
I just want to cry right now just listening to this song especially after messing up what could've been a perfect relationship with someone I had strong deep feelings for
The amount of young women (including myself) that can say they can relate to this song because of their father is disgustingly high. Hopefully then next generation can listen to this song and love it for the sound and lyrics without being able to relate to such a horrible thing..💯
this relates to me. this dedicates to all the people I have tried to be good enough for, I tried to change for, for those who I fake a smile on for. I hide how I feel cos I'm hurting inside and I don't always wanna open up about it so I hold it in. I don't feel like I'm good enough or worth it. some people make me feel less of a person. it hurts. I give up on trying to be someone's favourite or trying to make others happy instead of myself. it's hard these days. I just want to live a life where I could be happy with what I choose to do and to focus on myself than other people. I let people put me down and control me/ walk over me. I'm tried of this. this is such a good song, it touches my heart and I cry whenever I hear it cos the lyrics are so meaningful.
lol. same here. I feel like I'm shit to people. I on open up cus they either judge or they don't even listen. that's why I am the person who I am today. the one that dosent give a single shii about anything anymore.
+Yuriii Mtz aww sorry hun yh it hurts. I don't always know if being open or speaking out is a good thing. I wish I didn't give shits anymore but I can't I'm so sensitive like I care a lot about what ppl say and I take things personally. I have such a good heart and I'm so generous that I don't get rude or do anything bad to a person if u get me. so it hurts being judged and laughed at and not be someone's first choice or favourite. I hope good things happen for u love x
See ssweetie, you've got to hold on to who you are, let nobody take hold of your life, itz your life, not diers!!!! Also, dnt mind what they say, cuz all it does is ruin u n give dem the priviledge to liv your life..!! Don't give up, juh be urself!! n above all rem God is der for us all!! Even u!! no matter what u've been through!!
I noticed that a lot of the people in the comments were dedicating this song to their fathers. My father recently passed away and I just want to say that you don’t want to wait and then have this guilt hovering over for not trying to fix the relationship while he was still here. Text him, call him, hug him, tell him that you love him. Express yourself because I wish I would’ve. I did talk to him but I didn’t say as much as I wanted or should’ve. Do it for the older you.
I showed my dad this song and told him I dedicated it to him and he said ull never be good enough and I just wanna feel good enough for someone. He used to be my best friend and now we hate each other this song makes me think of all the stuff he did to me all my life and I cried so hard.
To my mother Who over and over again breaks me and tears me down more than any one else ever could What kinda of mother tells her daughter she wishes she was dead And to my stepfather who betrays me and lets me down over and over again as well
Let's stop trying to be good enough and separate ourselves from people who really just envy us. No matter if their parents they DONT LIKE YOU and they NEVER WILL. Let's get around people thats good to us
Amazing song! 1 of my favorites because the depth of the words are so true & powerful. They represent a painful & difficult relationship between a father & child no matter what the reason is. BEAUTIFUL!! I ♥ it!
I am 13 and the past two years in my life has been hell I tried being the perfect daughter towards my mother but I was never good enough for her. At my school, I tried to fit in but no one seemed to like me I lost faith in everyone at that point I wanted to kill myself bc I was tired of trying. They said a father becomes a father when they have a girl child then why doesn't my dad care about me I am turning 14 and my thoughts still eat me alive. I feel hopeless and lost faith in everything this one boy called me names and I looked down on myself for so long and I still do bc even though it happened in the past I call still remember them to this very day I tell no one how I feel bc no one understands me. I get good grades I listen to others and I help others but what I get in return is I get thrown under the bus like I am nothing. What I have to say to this cruel world is what do I gotta do to be good enough so ppl will love me for me and execpt me for once in my life. This song goes to all the ppl that made me feel like I was nothing
You are good enough,it’s your family that is letting you down thus making you stronger. Keep your head high up and trust good things will come your way 🙏🏻
God doesn't give us too much we can't handle. Stay strong little sister. You're a blessing with yourself. You positing this says a lot about how beautiful you are inside your beautiful heart. Don't allow anyone to tell you otherwise. Research things that bother you. Find your answers on your own. Trust yourself and find a relationship with God. Trust the process and remember the pains we try to avoid is the one we must go through to break out of that insanity. Stay strong my little sister spirit. Jesus loves you and so do I and many others in your shoes. Stay prayed up and give glory to God 🙏 you are the purpose be you and love
This reminds me of my feelings towards my mother and her side of the family and how they treat me like I'm nothing, but a waste of space. It was hard to write that one sentence without tearing up from the memories of them.
+Esther Wydermyer I'm so sorry hun. I never had a good relationship with mum. she puts me down, calls me names, says horrible things on how I look and everything. it's sad when the woman who gave birth to you doesn't love you or thinks badly of you and says the worst things.
damn, family is not who you are related to but the people who would take a bullet for you without hesitation, you be who you wanna be, those who support you unconditionally are your family, when people want you to change it tells you that they shouldn't be in your life, you don't need to change it's them.
A season, u say? This feeling has been going on for years of my life since i was out my moms belly. Im now 63 years on this earth. Still being mistreated & misunderstood. Im effing tired of it. But only God makes me feel good enough & as long as He loves me & fights my battles, im happy w/Him & thankful
You can be good that is how friendships form . As Dominic the real problem with that song is perfection . You are a human that makes mistakes and learns from them . If you look harder the truth kinda hurts thats why we need a savior .
Great upload, thank you! One correction though. “I just want you to look at me, and see that can be WORTH your love.” You have want. Great song, thanks again
I just want to say I am a 15 year old girl. I lost my mother at only 12 days old🕊. I have my father in my life but our relationship is severely damaged. He is a reason why I attempted suicide. I'm currently taking therapy to hopefully make a "better bond" with him. But Its to the point where I hate this man. No amount of therapy can help. This song is really a inspiration and is just a amazing creation. Every time I put this on its just enough strength to keep me here. Best of wishes to anybody who is having family issues at home be strong❤
I'm sorry you lost your Mother. But please hang in there. Your still young. 18yrs old is not far away for you. Graduate high school. Go to college. Get a job. Get out on your own.Your will survive this madness. It WILL make you stronger. I know your Mother will.be your guardian angel.The sun will shine for you.
I'm sorry to hear your story. I lost my mother 12 years ago and my relationship with my dad has been strained since. Maybe it always was. But this song makes think of him. Be strong 💜 you are speaking so articulate for the young and precious age you are. The strength in you is your mum guiding you. That's what I like to think is guiding me and that is mum. She would be so proud of you. I am a complete stranger and I can tell you I am. 💜
Dam, I remember when Empire came out, loved the talent he gave. We lost a talented artist and the show was so well written. After his "moment" it seemed like EVERYTHING on the show went down hill. I'm still trying to figure out... DID COOKIE DIE in that explosion? Or was it a dream like back in the day "Bobby Ewing from Dallas. I'm going WAY back... But still replaying the music, just reminds me how good it started out. I couldn't wait to watch the show. During that time another show was on "Star". OMG, when Empire imploded I started binge watching it... NOW THAT IS A SHOW!!! It gave me back what Empire lost...
All my life all wanted was a father , Someone to be there for me & guide me now i'm 21 & i still wonder why i wasn't good enough ? How come he wasn't there for me the way i needed him to be . A part of me been hurt for so long . . But im healing now . .
This song is speaking the story of me and my mom relationship cause she always down me a lot and it hurts, she treat my other brothers & sister like special famous people but when cames down to me it's like I'm not her daughter anymore it's like she treats me like these hoes out here on the street and all I ever wanted was her to see I need someone to support me and be by my side every day....
(I'm french excuse my mistakes) It's pratically the same for me; now I live just with my father and it's 10times better even if I miss a lot my sister who lives with my mother. This relationship with my mother broke me a lot but now I'm like an other person, I decide to live for myself, to give the best to achieve my goals and to be happy. It's sort of "independance" ^^ And the fact that my mother is no longer an important part of my life, I feel more free. You don't have trying to have the love of your mother anymore.. It will hurt you more than anything so if you have to cut contacts with your mother to feel happier, just do it ! I hope everyone in our situation will be fine, I know how difficult it is... Never give it up 😘
This song goes beyond speaking on sexuality. I feel like it can be applied to anything. Whether your parents don't see you as a good enough student, or worker or whatever the case may be, this song can relate. For me, it reminds me of when I was applying to colleges and my parents both expected me to attend these huge, big name colleges and become a doctor or lawyer and all throughout the process, I felt that if I chose to do something other than what they wanted, I wouldn't be accepted in their eyes. This is a beautiful song.
I read some of the comments it makes me sad but I hope the pain in your heart heals. You’re good enough and worthy to be loved and have that same love you give to be returned to you immensely.
This song mean a lot to me and brings back old hurtful memories. When i was so desperate for ma dad to at least take ma side even at least for a a second instead of making step mums. This is how many dad used to make me feel.
Ever been so exhausted from crying over the same thing, fighting for your parents love, fighting them to just hear you out and to try to understand why I feel the way I do by how they react when I show emotion.
What ever you all are feeling we are in the same boat. Keep faith, and keep believing in yourselves. You will make it higher like smoke from the fire. Sending love, and positive vibes to everyone. I'm feeling the same way, but I dedicate this to those who kick me down.
The absence of my father in my life pushed me to expect a lot from every guy I dated I wanted to receive love from males that I never received from my father and honestly no matter how someone loves me no one can close the gap its just not the same Sadly everyone keep exiting my life I relate to the song coz I personally feel that maybe I was never good enough to receive his love I keep wondering the woman I would have turned out if he didn't abandon me Either way my mom did all the job alone and I appreciate her so much If you have both your parents please love and appreciate them its not easy out here 😢😢😟
This song illustrate the sad reality of the world we live in. People who wanted children but do not want the responsibility of raising them. You do not get to fit your children into a box the way you want them to. Short of being genetically a murderous psychopath. You love them however they turn out to be. Embrace them however they turn out. A little love and support goes along way for children. More importantly do not project the battle of your own demon on to your children. They are not here to help you fight your own battle. Man up and stop being a coward using your children and wives as the punching bags.
Even though this is for his dad.. I literally think of my mom when I listen to this.. she just abandoned my father and I when I was 9 months.. no she wasn't on drugs.. she just felt.. like being a wife and a mother was too hard and focused on her career.. extremely selfish.. All my life I tried to find her approval.. nothing ever came close.. Mothers walk out too guys.
When I was younger I cried to this because of my mom and now am doing the same years later because of my dad and it hurts 10 times worst. All I want is to be good enough.
To love someone so much only to feel that no matter what you do or say, you will never ever be good enough...... Seeing them praise others for the exact same things you do. Everything you do goes unnoticed. Loving them more than you love yourself and still not being good enough
I’ll tell you, he grabbed the idea of this song from Justin Timberlake. Listen to Justin Timberlake‘s first album there’s a song on it. That similar to this one. I love it. Don’t get me wrong. A matter fact the song is called. What goes around comes around. I am a sincere musical connoisseur❤😂
Very strong song!!! No matter what u do u can't make them happy... Just want to be loved, want to be good enough to live to be loved... Man it's like why do I even try? I wish I had enough power to deserve ur love, just love me!!! I try so hard to be expected but never can see the good in myself because I'm blinded trying to prove I need also...
My parents took us to karaoke, I slipped the DJ this song. The whole time I looked my dad dead in the eye as I sang this. I walked out and never looked back soon after. I cant be good enough for him, but jm good enough for me.
@@corgi42069 i actually did , maybe you could be less judgy of life stories tou arent a witness to. Now kindly piss off. But also... Have a blessed day.
This young man is WHATS UP! Not to compare, but his vocals sound like The Late Great MJ! Beautiful.....he's his own man, talking about you, J! YOU GO J!
Parents can be huge treasure and support but also a pain and lifetime scar.

He used.to.have a TV show with his real life siblings called."On Our Own". Theres some episodes on here.
This is how my mother always makes me feel.... I can't help but get emotional when I hear this song. She really makes me feel unwanted most times.
Me too
I sung this for my school concert and my parents were there. I have no beef with my mom but my father. This song was for him. Always gonna be a disappointment in his book and this song explains everything and it's the worst. So dad this one is for you.
Even when we locked eyes during my performance and I finished my performance , he didn't congratulate me just walked off. Everybody that this song refers to , stay strong
Maybe I needa do this 😂😂 I know how ya feel. You probably won’t see this given that this was made 6 years ago.
These are very strong words that requires reflection and mirroring. Although I can not relate on a personal level I do sympathize with those who are longing acceptance rather it be from their fathers, mothers, siblings or other. Acceptance! I accept you as you are! Powerful!

Who over and over again breaks me and tears me down more than any one else ever could
What kinda of mother tells her daughter she wishes she was dead
And to my stepfather who betrays me and lets me down over and over again as well
❤️
❤
Let's stop trying to be good enough and separate ourselves from people who really just envy us. No matter if their parents they DONT LIKE YOU and they NEVER WILL. Let's get around people thats good to us
Jamal articulates what a son wants for a father.
For me, a woman thats constantly rejected by males i deeply feel every word of this song
Im hooked on this show like Heroin. COOKIE FOR PRESIDENT!
agreed, I cannot get enough of this show....it's like a drug
Lol me too i love Empire
Same
MrGlanderson me too
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing song! 1 of my favorites because the depth of the words are so true & powerful. They represent a painful & difficult relationship between a father & child no matter what the reason is.
BEAUTIFUL!! I ♥ it!

I am 13 and the past two years in my life has been hell I tried being the perfect daughter towards my mother but I was never good enough for her. At my school, I tried to fit in but no one seemed to like me I lost faith in everyone at that point I wanted to kill myself bc I was tired of trying. They said a father becomes a father when they have a girl child then why doesn't my dad care about me I am turning 14 and my thoughts still eat me alive. I feel hopeless and lost faith in everything this one boy called me names and I looked down on myself for so long and I still do bc even though it happened in the past I call still remember them to this very day I tell no one how I feel bc no one understands me. I get good grades I listen to others and I help others but what I get in return is I get thrown under the bus like I am nothing. What I have to say to this cruel world is what do I gotta do to be good enough so ppl will love me for me and execpt me for once in my life. This song goes to all the ppl that made me feel like I was nothing
lenore simmons you good enouph
Don't worry Darling all those challenges are meant to make u strong...u will get over it...and ur future is great more than u could imagine
You are good enough,it’s your family that is letting you down thus making you stronger. Keep your head high up and trust good things will come your way 🙏🏻
It be okay
God doesn't give us too much we can't handle. Stay strong little sister. You're a blessing with yourself. You positing this says a lot about how beautiful you are inside your beautiful heart. Don't allow anyone to tell you otherwise. Research things that bother you. Find your answers on your own. Trust yourself and find a relationship with God. Trust the process and remember the pains we try to avoid is the one we must go through to break out of that insanity. Stay strong my little sister spirit. Jesus loves you and so do I and many others in your shoes. Stay prayed up and give glory to God 🙏 you are the purpose be you and love
This reminds me of my feelings towards my mother and her side of the family and how they treat me like I'm nothing, but a waste of space. It was hard to write that one sentence without tearing up from the memories of them.
I'm so sorry.. You don't deserve that
this song is to my mother she said she wish she never had me
Im sorry :(
Same 😔
+Esther Wydermyer I'm so sorry hun. I never had a good relationship with mum. she puts me down, calls me names, says horrible things on how I look and everything. it's sad when the woman who gave birth to you doesn't love you or thinks badly of you and says the worst things.
same with my mom too... 😪
damn, family is not who you are related to but the people who would take a bullet for you without hesitation, you be who you wanna be, those who support you unconditionally are your family, when people want you to change it tells you that they shouldn't be in your life, you don't need to change it's them.
Hugs and kisses to anyone who went through a season of feeling less enough to someone they cared for
A season, u say? This feeling has been going on for years of my life since i was out my moms belly. Im now 63 years on this earth. Still being mistreated & misunderstood. Im effing tired of it. But only God makes me feel good enough & as long as He loves me & fights my battles, im happy w/Him & thankful
Thx for the hug. I needed. This song makes my tears come rolling down my cheeks
You can be good that is how friendships form . As Dominic the real problem with that song is perfection . You are a human that makes mistakes and learns from them . If you look harder the truth kinda hurts thats why we need a savior .
Great upload, thank you! One correction though. “I just want you to look at me, and see that can be WORTH your love.” You have want. Great song, thanks again
Jussie is so awesome. I could just sit and listen to him sing forever.
still good enough in 2018😍
me is
emma lina 2019

S.A.B.Y meee I luv this song
S.A.B.Y meeeee😊😊
Me too!!!❤😢😢
S.A.B.Y mee too and i love this series
I just want to say I am a 15 year old girl. I lost my mother at only 12 days old🕊. I have my father in my life but our relationship is severely damaged. He is a reason why I attempted suicide. I'm currently taking therapy to hopefully make a "better bond" with him. But Its to the point where I hate this man. No amount of therapy can help. This song is really a inspiration and is just a amazing creation. Every time I put this on its just enough strength to keep me here. Best of wishes to anybody who is having family issues at home be strong❤
I'm sorry you lost your Mother. But please hang in there. Your still young. 18yrs old is not far away for you. Graduate high school. Go to college. Get a job. Get out on your own.Your will survive this madness. It WILL make you stronger. I know your Mother will.be your guardian angel.The sun will shine for you.
Your comment has me crying.
You’re good enough and are worthy to be loved.
Your life is so precious.
Stay strong. God loves you so much.
I love it
I'm sorry to hear your story. I lost my mother 12 years ago and my relationship with my dad has been strained since. Maybe it always was. But this song makes think of him. Be strong 💜 you are speaking so articulate for the young and precious age you are. The strength in you is your mum guiding you. That's what I like to think is guiding me and that is mum. She would be so proud of you. I am a complete stranger and I can tell you I am. 💜
stay strong sister i pray to God you'll pull through❤️
Dam, I remember when Empire came out, loved the talent he gave.
We lost a talented artist and the show was so well written.
After his "moment" it seemed like EVERYTHING on the show went down hill.
I'm still trying to figure out...
DID COOKIE DIE in that explosion?
Or was it a dream like back in the day "Bobby Ewing from Dallas.
I'm going WAY back...
But still replaying the music, just reminds me how good it started out.
I couldn't wait to watch the show.
During that time another show was on "Star".
OMG, when Empire imploded I started binge watching it...
NOW THAT IS A SHOW!!!
It gave me back what Empire lost...
All my life all wanted was a father , Someone to be there for me & guide me now i'm 21 & i still wonder why i wasn't good enough ? How come he wasn't there for me the way i needed him to be . A part of me been hurt for so long . . But im healing now . .
This song is speaking the story of me and my mom relationship cause she always down me a lot and it hurts, she treat my other brothers & sister like special famous people but when cames down to me it's like I'm not her daughter anymore it's like she treats me like these hoes out here on the street and all I ever wanted was her to see I need someone to support me and be by my side every day....
same thing thatz going on with me
(I'm french excuse my mistakes) It's pratically the same for me; now I live just with my father and it's 10times better even if I miss a lot my sister who lives with my mother. This relationship with my mother broke me a lot but now I'm like an other person, I decide to live for myself, to give the best to achieve my goals and to be happy. It's sort of "independance" ^^ And the fact that my mother is no longer an important part of my life, I feel more free. You don't have trying to have the love of your mother anymore.. It will hurt you more than anything so if you have to cut contacts with your mother to feel happier, just do it ! I hope everyone in our situation will be fine, I know how difficult it is... Never give it up 😘
Same ur not alone
+Ysabell Courtney it is okay
Krystal Nolen I know exactly how u feel
This song goes beyond speaking on sexuality. I feel like it can be applied to anything. Whether your parents don't see you as a good enough student, or worker or whatever the case may be, this song can relate. For me, it reminds me of when I was applying to colleges and my parents both expected me to attend these huge, big name colleges and become a doctor or lawyer and all throughout the process, I felt that if I chose to do something other than what they wanted, I wouldn't be accepted in their eyes. This is a beautiful song.
One of the best songs of this series so far Jussie aka Jamal can sang!
I read some of the comments it makes me sad but I hope the pain in your heart heals. You’re good enough and worthy to be loved and have that same love you give to be returned to you immensely.
This song mean a lot to me and brings back old hurtful memories.
When i was so desperate for ma dad to at least take ma side even at least for a a second instead of making step mums.
This is how many dad used to make me feel.
Dedicated to my father. Left me and my mom when I was 2 and now I'm 10.
wdf 😂
Wow I'm sorry
this song goes out to my biological mother...whoever you are!
Boy
Aww.
Aww wat
Same here
Lol
I loveeeeeee this song way toooooooo muuuuuuccccchhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Ever been so exhausted from crying over the same thing, fighting for your parents love, fighting them to just hear you out and to try to understand why I feel the way I do by how they react when I show emotion.
OH. MY. GOD!!! This is so BEAUTIFUL!!! I´m crying!!!
"I just want you to look at me and see that I can be what u love I just u to look at me and see that I can be good enough". I love that part😍😘😘😙
This is for my boyfriend
My dad treats me the same way he thinks i'm not the son he want me to be so i sent him this song
King_leon Savage what did he say to it..
Hope ya better now if not give yourself all that self love you were expecting
Who is here 2020?? Still sounds like yesterday...I love it, this song is good enough to listen..😍♥️
What ever you all are feeling we are in the same boat. Keep faith, and keep believing in yourselves. You will make it higher like smoke from the fire. Sending love, and positive vibes to everyone. I'm feeling the same way, but I dedicate this to those who kick me down.
Been on an emotional rollercoaster with my partner for weeks now and it's driving me nuts. These words are expressing exactly what I'm feeling
The absence of my father in my life pushed me to expect a lot from every guy I dated
I wanted to receive love from males that I never received from my father and honestly no matter how someone loves me no one can close the gap its just not the same
Sadly everyone keep exiting my life
I relate to the song coz I personally feel that maybe I was never good enough to receive his love
I keep wondering the woman I would have turned out if he didn't abandon me
Either way my mom did all the job alone and I appreciate her so much
If you have both your parents please love and appreciate them its not easy out here 😢😢😟
You always good enough...
@@consolatamuthoni1831 I know better now
Thank you ❤
This song illustrate the sad reality of the world we live in. People who wanted children but do not want the responsibility of raising them. You do not get to fit your children into a box the way you want them to. Short of being genetically a murderous psychopath. You love them however they turn out to be. Embrace them however they turn out. A little love and support goes along way for children. More importantly do not project the battle of your own demon on to your children. They are not here to help you fight your own battle. Man up and stop being a coward using your children and wives as the punching bags.
TheBambinoitaliano This applies to both men and women who are harming their families and themselves.
I wish I could show your comment to both my parents. But they wouldn't listen anyway.
TheBambinoitaliano ✊💯u hit that one on the nail I feel everyword u say. I'm a Living Proof ..
Definitely the truth 💯
This to my dad, always makes me feel like I'm never enough
I really love every bit of Empire episodes....i love jamal sometimes he leaves tears on my cheeks he sing with passion Cookie drama queen

I love this song so much💙💯very inspiring to all that are going through rought times😒👏
the best song from the empire show💯
I broke into tears when I heard this on Empire. Powerful words filled with strong emotions.
Even though this is for his dad.. I literally think of my mom when I listen to this.. she just abandoned my father and I when I was 9 months.. no she wasn't on drugs.. she just felt.. like being a wife and a mother was too hard and focused on her career.. extremely selfish.. All my life I tried to find her approval.. nothing ever came close.. Mothers walk out too guys.
I LOVE THIS MANS MUSIC SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH:)))))))
This goes to my father who doesn't accept me for me
Lucy Colon I know how you feel
this goes to my Oreo that I let live but just got nasty
Lucy Colon i feel you
This Goes To My Father Who Doesn't Except Me.
same with me
This song is too beautiful 😩😩😩❤️❤️❤️❤️
When I was younger I cried to this because of my mom and now am doing the same years later because of my dad and it hurts 10 times worst. All I want is to be good enough.
To love someone so much only to feel that no matter what you do or say, you will never ever be good enough......
Seeing them praise others for the exact same things you do. Everything you do goes unnoticed.
Loving them more than you love yourself and still not being good enough
Being the only 2024 person.
Not only you..... I'm also listening
Im hereee
We here :)
Same here
I’ll tell you, he grabbed the idea of this song from Justin Timberlake. Listen to Justin Timberlake‘s first album there’s a song on it. That similar to this one. I love it. Don’t get me wrong. A matter fact the song is called. What goes around comes around. I am a sincere musical connoisseur❤😂
I can't stop listening to this omg
I’m broken hearted and the song is so relatable..I can’t stop crying.when will I be good enough 😢💔💔😭😭
Great song I remember it was a dedication when I was with A friend going to the farm.
Very strong song!!! No matter what u do u can't make them happy... Just want to be loved, want to be good enough to live to be loved... Man it's like why do I even try? I wish I had enough power to deserve ur love, just love me!!! I try so hard to be expected but never can see the good in myself because I'm blinded trying to prove I need also...

Boy please
My parents took us to karaoke, I slipped the DJ this song. The whole time I looked my dad dead in the eye as I sang this. I walked out and never looked back soon after. I cant be good enough for him, but jm good enough for me.
As well as he's a part of your family. THIS is good enough
Sure you did.
@@corgi42069 i actually did , maybe you could be less judgy of life stories tou arent a witness to. Now kindly piss off. But also... Have a blessed day.
