Not Enough
Brockington Darien Lyrics

We spent the last year writing rhymes doing shows and chopping records
We worked hard for a year, writing music, performing and producing tracks.

And traveled all around the world to spread the message
We traveled globally to share our message.

Cause ain't no rest for the weary when it comes to my team
We don't rest because we're dedicated to our team and craft.

We only sleep on December the 32nd
We don't take breaks or rest much, except on the mythical day of December 32nd.

DJ's dissin' the album before they check it
Some DJs criticize our album without even listening to it first.

Dealin' with their managers and program directors
We have to navigate the relationships between DJs and their managers or program directors.

And even though I try not to stress it
I try not to let it get to me, but it's still a challenge.

Sometimes it feels like a waste of time and not worth the effort
It can feel like all our hard work is pointless and futile.

Put a block on my team's hustle for a second
I won't let anything slow down my team's drive.

Poobie keep it rushing, as long as Tay and I on the mic
As long as Poobie keeps the music flowing, Tay and I will keep performing.

These fronting dudes can't say nothing
We won't let haters or doubters stop us.

It was only time for we finally spoke out
We reached a tipping point and decided to speak out.

Plenty cold nights ahead I suggest you get your coats out
We're going to face some tough times, so be prepared.

No time to stand here lips poked out we bout to closeout that stored up doubt
We don't have time to be negative or doubtful; we're pushing forward.

Seems like whatever I do
No matter what I do,

Its not enough for you
It's never enough for you.

I paid the cost and gave you my all
I put in a lot of effort and sacrificed for you.

But you still want more
You still want more from me.

I'm still standing right here
I'm still here, doing what I've always been doing.

But it seems so unfair
It's frustrating because it feels unfair.

That I sacrifice and give you my life
I put everything I have into this.

Listen to this, just listen to this
Pay attention to this, listen carefully.

Homie, this here is pain
This is painful for me.

I'm speaking on this pitiful thing
I'm talking about this difficult situation.

That's now forever stained in the banks of my memory
This situation will stick with me forever.

You probably like, 'they running this, b'
You might think we're doing well, but

But naw, I'll doubt we'll ever be
But I doubt we'll ever get the recognition we deserve.

Its funny cats don't remember me
People forget about me all the time.

And don't think cause we all here that its gonna be all we
Just because we're still here doesn't mean it's enough.

Or all love, its all bugged
It's not all love, things are complicated.

Trying to mask them emotions with pounds and hugs
People try to hide their true feelings with fake friendliness.

No more I say gotta make'em pay
I won't let people take advantage of me anymore.

Cause I'm tired of getting stepsonned in the worst way just wait
I'm done with being treated unfairly and I won't put up with it anymore.

These chips on my shoulder gettin' stacked
All my frustrations are building up.

When my pockets catch up Pooh's never turning back
Once we start making money, we won't stop.

Yo I ain't never heard a actor blow and go global
I've never heard of someone becoming famous through acting and then music.

Then come back home and still be called local
Returning home and still not getting the recognition they deserve.

And when we onstage the people they all front
People pretend not to like us when we perform.

Dope beats, dope rhymes what more do y'all want (shout it out)
We have great music, what more do people want? (asking the audience)
