@@anisvtt4124 I'm not responding to you.. I'm responding to Dyamond Jordan..
Jamal was one of the best things about Empire. You have to admit, Jamal is a beast on the mic
A real monster and boom😍😍😍😘
A monster of provocation. He could have started a full on race war.
Kilian Ramirez Gonzalez you’re talking about staging events for a false narrative. That’s the kind of propaganda tools the Nazis used.
Kilian Ramirez Gonzalez Don’t talk to me about discrimination, I’m a Fenian in Northern Ireland. My people were second class citizens for 800 years. Stop blaming the system, it’s a lazy excuse for personal shortcomings.
Kilian Ramirez Gonzalez I compared Jussie Smullets tactics to that of the nazis. I’m a Law student son, now run along and collect your welfare check 😂
2024 and this song STILL give me chills! OMG
❤

I. Did. Not. Get. The. Show. I. Did. Want. To. Keep. Hearing. This. Guys. Voice. Fantastic wanted. To. More. Of. It. Thanks
I just saw something about the show so I decided what the heck I’ll silence to the songs again they are still awesome
Mannn is still bringing me to tears 😢
The way she’s looking at him tells a thousand words. So powerful
oh yes
The way how cookie looks at him gets me every time.. man Taraji is a hell of an actress.
She's so good. That look gave me goosebumps
She’s awesome. My fav 😍 but as a mom of a son it was easier. I have 5 boys and I’ll go to war for them and always look at them with love and admiration
Yes!! Especially on season 5 when luscious was gonna let Andre kill himself and then cookie ran in there to stop it. Man she such a great actress. That brought tears to my eyes too.
AMEN‼️‼️
Taraji is bad yes sir
Damn it’s 2023 and this song still brought tears to my eyes 😢
Fr
😭😭😭
Why? Because he ruined his career over some BS he did to get attention
I still love this song❤
Right 🥹
The way cookie looks at Jamal 🥹🥹🥹
8 years later and still get goosebumps off this song.
Oh honey, poor Jussie was a victim of systemic rathism. Oh honey I can’t even!
hi
I'll never be big enough to pay your dues....but I keep trying 😢..
everytime!
You right. I played it 20xs
Nobody could ever say Cookie didn't love her kids
She truly loves them more than any other characters in the show, she shows mother's love ❤️❤️❤️💕
No one can dare say that shit
And lucious
Femi Folarin OOOF.
Femi Folarin 🤨🥴
For all the parents who never thought their child was good enough....they were...will and always will be. To the children out there who have been told they are not good enough...you are. and will always be. To those adults like me for years who always tried to be good enough yet always felt like they came up short in pleasing their parents only to realize they were good enough all along. YOU. ARE. ENOUGH.
Thank you. Broke into tears reading this. and its not just parents, but just being good enough for those you love. or good enough in general. Thank you for being willing to write these words. Thank you.
I'm glad that you found comfort in those words. You are very welcome. My painful relationship is almost at the end so when I tell you I understand...believe me I understand! I had to realize I was good enough...and more than enough. That I was settling for less than I deserved...all stemming from those years as a kid who felt the need to "find a way to get someone to love me". We are loved because because we exist not for what we do.
+adrenna1973 great message, you are so right
+1
adrenna1973 I was always told this but not anymore because of money. But I tell my kids from day one you can be anything but whatever you be it's good enough for me
Don't care what he did music is fire 🔥
Ever since I heard this song in 2016 while watching with my aunt I was not too young to not understand it...10 years down the line 'I jus wish my parent would look at me and see that am good enough' its not easy being the eldest from a single parent ......
This song comforts me when we fight...
this song is dedicated to my math teacher
xDD
love it
Josephine Gonsaro lol
Josephine Gonsaro lol bad one
hahaaaa lol
The first season of Empire had THE BEST music, period. Shouts out to Timbaland, my favorite producer!!!
AGREED!
They had Timbaland and time. They rushed the 2nd season and went down hill
The second was good too, chaising the sky was maybe the Best song from Empire
@@derkevin5994 meh. Not as hard as 1st season
listen to ice box by omarian sounds similar to you?
I just want my mom to look at me and let me be good enough ❤️
I'm certain everyone with physically/emotionally abusive parents felt this song on another level.
I felt this with the while verbal abuse I get from my mom who is a single parent with 2 kids
I literally almost cried
😂😂,u have no idea.
✋🏽But I try to stay positive
Yup. My stepdad is better than my father but still abusive. Told him I was suicidal then when he was mad deliberately told me I should just die
"even heaven won't let me in" that part just hit me, man 😞
Habiba Waliyow *but heaven isn't letting me. Still sad tho🙁
Maria Møllegård don't be sad. in this life we are human we make mistakes as long we know and correct yourself God will forgive u
u did very good
Habiba Waliyow thats my part to for some reason that part get to me
Habiba Waliyow same😭
Jamal is just so talented.
This is the 11th Month of 2023 and his song still sounds fresh.
The lyrics are so emotional.
Swears
I love someone who doesn’t love me 😔
2024 anyone??🎉
😢😢
I'm addicted to this show... Why can't these songs be played on the radio? So much better than the music playing now.
Co-sign!
I agree. It's one hundred million times better.
Right? I so agree
its not about sex,money,drugs and all..its a real song for real emotions.
its better than most if not all songs in my playlist!
emilio tibert uueu383u383jek3kekek
this song is so dam good i can't stop listen to it
same here.. this whole song describes how i feel towards my father. he only cares about my brother. :(
Agree
so true!
put it on replay play it every where i go I JUST WANNA BE GOOD ENOUGH
Sophie Mena just remember this you are good enuff don't worry about what other think about you even if they are family show them you are good enuff action speak louder then words
May 31.2024!!! Forever a iconic scene.
Season 1 & 2 was so beautiful written.
the way cookie looks at her son is jus priceless 😍😍😍
Bessem Tayong U can tell she loves him!
its the look when a mother has pride in her song and know she will do anything for the world to the his voice.
Bessem Tayong. tell don simpson that and he can make it happen at your spot.too many surprises for my heart to take,for real...
+Michael Reed jj
His American accent is amazing for a french guy.
Sean Keuroghlian-Eaton ah yes. Juicy smoolè
He's faking it
Just the comment I was "Juicing" for
can someone explain to me ?😂
He’s Brazilian which speaks Portuguese not french.
Empire was such a good show with brilliant music
It's almost 2024, who's listening to this banger today
As a parent I could never imagine treating my son or daughter that way.
And I LOVE YOU for that!!God bless you!!❤👑🙏
Godbless you
Wish I had parents like you or cookie
Exactly!
❤️❤️❤️
Who else cries ? Everytime they show us clips of luscious treating jamal bad as a kid😭😭😒
Me
+Lizbeth Limon My tears are real everytime i even listen to the intro to this song
+Briah Hyman mine aren't
+Lizbeth Limon sometimes I have to turn it off or fast forward that part.
I know that sad then he has flash backs when he was a kid
Most iconic song in Empire
2024 Who is here😊
🙌
Me
Meeeee
Meee
💁🏽😌
Man, Taraji is such an amazing actress. The raw emotion that comes across in her acting is just awesome. That scene when she flew out of the house to stop him from putting the kid in the trash, and then when she looks at him and says, "I wish you would." That shit felt so real, like you believed that kid was really hers.
Senjutsu Sage were*
Senjutsu Sage she is good
Yes she is and amazing actor
I agree i love the emotion she give off playing her roles she truly commits
Man...Taraji is incredible in her cookie role,..still watch empire to this day because of her
Its simple guys! I think that radio nowdays isnt "Good Enough" to play songs like this!!!! :)
Love this show
Yeaa im on my dads phone
Fow real
It is getting played. It got played on the radio over 400 times last week!
Ok
2024 anyone?
Yessss
Am here🙋,,,
Presente!! 😊
Meee
Season 1 of Empire was peak fiction.
“I’ll never be big enough to pay your dues” damn, doesn’t that hit me right in the heart
Yesssss
Well Chicago wants their money. You know, for that fake hate crime...
but you keep begging me to jump through hoops!
moise dago “but I’ll keep trying...”
moise dago good
Don’t worry, your not the only one still listening in July 2021.
🤣 lmao
I come back and listen to all the songs like it’s a album over periods of time empire music 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Phew😂😂
@@patrickascotland9646 a
August*
The song gives me chills even after 8 years
Do polar vortex’s in the middle of the night in Chicago give you chills also ?
Timeless in my opinion. It's March 2024. ❤
He is just playing a role but God knows that this looks so real. There is so much emotion in his voice.
True💯
It's because he relates to this. Not only in his role on Empire. He truly is gay so that's why it sounds so good because he can relate.
i find it so funny that u actually told her to get her facts straight when u were the one who was wrong lmao
+mexzino lol the facts were straight unlike Jamal 😂 jk
amen yes
Now this is a real song...I wish these would be recognized and played on the air waves..Jussie Smollet got an amazing voice and he fine at that...
I know right
I actually heard this song on the radio yesterday! ^_^
He's gay though right ?
In the show as Jamal he is. IDK in reality.
Kiana Tafoya yea he's really gay, not just acting. That doesn't take away from his amazing talent though
Say no mo nephew❤❤❤
That look from his mama says everything: “I see you. I see you baby.”
This is absolutely the best song on empire nothing has topped this yet
sexy912 thats what i thought until Chasing The Sky last season 😂
sexy912 You need to listen to Chasing The Sky ❤❤🔥
Patrik Lundberg me too
Powerful is an excellent song as well! 💟
Chasing the sky, Good enough then Mama
good enough to be watched in 2018!!
lol hell yea
Yuppp
Facts
emma lina well okay you look cute on the future
emma lina me
I have always been fighting to be good enough for my parents. Always did things that made them happy until I got tired. Now I'm 18 years with my own home, family and baby on the way and now my father won't look at me. This song touched me so much.
you are good enough ♥
@@thetravelmufasa Thank you
You’re amazing! Keep up the fight
Who still listening 2024 yesssssss
IN Her EYES YOU CAN SEE THE LOVE ONLY A MOTHER CAN FEEL TOWARDS HER CHILD!! THAT WAS NOT ACTING, IT WAS SOMETHING REAL SHE WAS RELIVING!! SHE NAILED THAT SCENE ❤❤
We're all good enough
No offense but that's bullshit to say that a mother loves her child more than a father does men love their children just as much as the mother does he just expresses that love differently than a mother does
Johnnie Williams in this family tho his father doesnt love him enough. Of course dads love their kids as much as moms we do show it differently youre right about tht
That is such a biased statement to even imply that a woman loves her child more than a father is absurd you women think that because you carry a child and give birth to it that you have a deeper connection to that child than the father this is a perfect example at how biased society has become attributing only good things to women while men are degraded by being labeled the plague that's destroying the world I think that if it takes two to produce a child then it takes two to provide that child with the love that he or she fully deserves
Dianne Delina in my eyes you can see tears of laughter
Along with Conqueror and What is Love, this is one of the best songs in the Empire Soundtrack.
Love it
+danxe right on. i agree
+danxe and youre so beautiful
I love. it. amazes
agreed
I was too young to realized my brother would sing this song all the time now I know why my dad never thought he was good enough.
Who is still listen in 2024?🎉
Who else can't get enough of this song & performance? Even though it's from season 1
I honestly feel like season 1 muisc is their best
@@seansande7264 I agree
STORMY K me i listen to this every monring it start my day
STORMY same here
I can actually say that everyone felt the pain and struggle in this song. It touched and moved a lot of us in the heart
damn when Luscious throws Jamal in the trash, hits me every time. This song is deep.
deep asf
ik..sad .
right
me too...
Im saying
This is single-handedly the best song from Empire!! It gets me every damn time. This music video made me so emotional when seeing the flashbacks. Jussie has the voice of an angel. Unfortunately this didn’t age well for Jussie 🥲
Anybody listening in Quarantine
Meee
Me
Meeeeeee
Meee😷😷😷😷😷🔥
Meeeee
This was the best song out of all seasons of this show.
No
Powerful was end of story.
And what is love

I think when they caught ms. Cosby lol off guard best for me but love this song
I wish Empire didn't have to end.

That was wrong for Lucius to throw them in the trash
RichwayATL
RichwayATL I’m still having trouble telling my parents that I’m bi it’s really stressful and I don’t know how they’ll react
2023 and this song STILL resonates with me. Such a good song!
Love the song but the acceptance and the protection that she showed him is everything this one of my favorite episodes
this song is amazing
I can't stop listening to it. It's so good!
It also kinds of make me cry a bit as well, idk why.
Me cry for kids. Me not so gud to engelsk. I fr.o.m. Sweden. Songwritern is so Gud
***** u know emz
leona Fritz i m from sweden to. Jag är från Sverige ocå
To daughters with strained father daughter relationship
💔💔We became strong women not by choice but by necessity ✊🏿
this was deep 💔
Forced growth 💔
Jamal you left again?? Where you at?? Boy don't play with me
I felt this deep😭
@@sheilajohn321 love you 🥰 you are not his mistakes
still listening to this soul touching good shit🔥🔥 #2024
I think we feel the emotion from this song due to his heartfelt cry for acceptance in his life. Sad things went the way they did for him. He is amazing!
I GOT TO SING THIS TO MY DAD WHEN HE COMPLAIN THE HOUSE STILL DIRTY BUT I CLEANED IT COMING IN YELLING.
Lol 😂😂
Lmao 😄😂😂
I care about my family aunts and grandparents
LMFAOOOOO omggggg
😂😂😂😂
Good Enough"
(feat. Jussie Smollett)
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 five 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 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 worth your love
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough
Good enough
And see that I can be
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 song
And you call yourself a father
Feels like I'm reaching for the stars
But heaven isn't letting me
I wish that 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 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 worth your love
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough
Good enough
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough
Good enough
Look at me
I'm standing right here waiting for you, here I am
Look at me
Lookin' for your acceptance, do you give a damn?
Look at me
See it doesn't matter what you think, I'm still a man
Look at me
Open up your eyes, can't you see that I'm good enough
I just want you to look at me
Look at me
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough
Good enough
I just wanna be, yeah
Good enough, good enough
Good enough
Jj Tay 👌
Jj Tay o
Jj Tay good bro....
Jj Tay afacsc
Jj Tay Thx
This song hits hard when you feel like your not good enough for anybody 😞😞😞😞😞😞
Listening to these songs amidst a heartbreak, asking myself why I wasn’t enough. 12yrs of sacrifice and still I didn’t measure up. Got me easily discarded and considered difficult and now he is happy with someone else,This was quite a lesson for me to always choose me first, now am here learning to love myself ❤❤❤
The trash can scene is based on Lee Daniel's real life. His father ACTUALLY did that to him for wearing women's clothes when he was a kid.
If I was there, I would of dunked his father in the trash can. It aint right to treat no one like that. No matter what your relationship is, you have no right to be treating people like that. It happened to someone I went to school with. I'm not saying I know them personally, but I do know their name and who their brothers are because his brothers were in my grade. His family is a family of football players. He didn't want to play football and he was also gay. One day, he said good bye to everyone and he shot himself in the head. He died because people pressured him to act like a straight person and play football with his brothers. You can't turn back people's mistake. You can only learn from them.
wow i never knew that.. the more you know huh
Good
Wow
Jamal's character is based on a lot of trials and tribulations Lee Daniels experienced and experiences.
jamal is not like other singers I have never heard a voice like his it's so natural and beautiful I support him 100%
Yeaph
This is true with many families it made me cry because I can't see no mother, nor Father do this to there baby regardless.
❤😢
Can't get enough of this song 😍 ❤️
The part where Lucius put him in the trash can every time I see that part it touches my heart in my eyes flood up this song is so deep at so many levels
Yes, everytime I watch that scene, my eyes tear up, it's so sad to hear him screaming out!
I found it funny the first time I saw it...I'm sorry it was just unexpected
Mandy X'O-twod ahahaha xD me 2 but then i start thinking about it^^
I remember the first time I heard this song and how it explained and summed up perfectly everything I've ever wanted to say to my parents. Years later, the message is just as strong
I always felt like that too . I tried twice as much to be good enough but well I never measured up . Nomatter what I dd
I always felt like that too . I tried twice as much to be good enough but well I never measured up . Nomatter what I dd
Unfortunately even if you say it to them they won't understand 😢
i cried and still cry somethimes when i listen to this song, i feel super emotional bc when i was a kid i was really depressed bc of my dad, always thought that i would never be good enough for him, now i know that im way better than him
@@faffiedione2274 I tried to make good grades in school and join as many clubs as possible but it still wasn’t good enough so I said fuck it I just did what I felt like but still my parents still aren’t satisfied I tried to make good grades and I did but it exhausted me trying to be my parents perfect daughter but I’m not that anymore
this song hits different if you can relate with it
This song is for persons who all they ever want/ wanted is love and acceptance from their parents😢 really powerful 💯🔥
what about "love" period? from people, just respect and honesty instead of phoniness and disrespectful ridicule & jokes all the time.
This song is so good but still cuts so deep.
It sure cuts deep.for me
The way cookie looks at jamal
Still a bop in 2024
My parents may have thought I was not Good Enough, but I will make sure my son knows he is always Good enough. I will always support and be behind him pushing and cheering on every dream.
You're good enough 😞💖
It sounds like your a great Mom. Stay positive for your son. Good will return to you.
🙏🤞👏👏👍👍👍🤲🤲👐👐🙌🙌🤜🤛✊👊🙏💗
Por causa do seu pai que você é o que é hoje, se ele nunca achou que você era boa o suficiente, é por que ele sabia que você poderia fazer melhor , e hoje você faz o seu melhor, por causa dele
Just make sure that you keep him away from Nigerians and Subway.
Favorite song from empire
This song isn't just for bad parents but anyone who has had someone make them feel unworthy. They weren't good enough. Not good enough to be loved, treated right, given a chance at life. I listen to this song every single day...
Brings tears everytime
This is your song when you're a son and you're proving something to your dad.
Or a daughter to a mother. Has power in the lyrics indeed.
Sure. It's a song for every one who wants to prove something big and special.
Dean Ryan Martin Baghdad;
***** Music is universal.
I am not sure how race came into this? This white girl got her ass beat by a belt by Grandpa when I mouthed off. Needless to say; never called Grandma a bitch again. Even them raising me, sometimes I never felt like they loved me as much as my Aunts & Uncles. As I got older I realized I was foolish.
And I agree; music, along with this message is universal.
Cookie’s look at 1:15 and 2:40 is like she says to him “it doesn’t matter that he cannot see you, baby. I do. I see you.” Such a precious moment.
oh yes
Empire has such healing songs
LIKE IT HIGHLY DISAPPOINTS ME EVERYDAY HOW HE FUCKED IT UP FOR HIMSELF HE WAS DEEPLY TALENTED I WISH HE WAS STILL MAKING MUSIC and didn't do what he did 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Empire in the first few seasons had a lot of bangers
Listening in 2022 and I'm still getting goosebumps 😭😭 this is a masterpiece 😍
Hey gorgeous, How are you doing. Thanks for been a true fans of mine..
Ong
I know you must be so amazed and shocked to get a text from me. Trust me it is from me for I am so down to earth and I believe you know so well. Seeing your profile, you remind me of an old friend that I care for
🇰🇪2022
fax tho same
2024 who is still here❤❤❤🎉
To my father, who took 44 yrs to look at me. You're good enough and only need gods approval whose love is unconditional no matter what. ❤
This song hit even harder during this lockdown

You ain't lyin!
Best heartbreak song ever.
+Jovan Sahota TRAITOR !
Anakin Skywalker
Hey, I don't know what to fight for, so don't hate me 'cos you ain't me!
Jovan Sahota You left the first order because we killing people. And then you joined the rebel and killed tons of stormtroopers, good choice !
Anakin Skywalker Eye for an eye. Or perhaps, arm for an arm.
Jovan Sahota I know that this song represent how guitly you felt because you wasnt good enough for the first order, so that's why you left. Dont worry, return to the base and we will always accept you !
I listened this song before I came out and it lowkey changed my mental. I felt every word, and it played a big part of me coming out. Thank you, Jussie
It's so real so deep, music is the best window we all show the world who we are. Thanks Empire
real black queens never give up on their children!
Yes they dont
Not just Black queens but others as well. It takes a strong woman to be a Queen.
Taraji in that scene gives me goosebumps
gave me goosebumps too!
+Jena Cullen OMG FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT. Love her so much
+Jihan Putra ikr. TARAJI is the heart and soul of empire
