I've Had Enough
Critical Bill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like me motherfucker you′ve been at it for too long
While you feed off others' insecurities
You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds
Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
Heart bleeds but not for fellow men
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)
It's time for something real
I don't respect the words you′re speaking
Gone too far
A clone
So how does it feel to know that someone′s kid
In the heart of America has blood on their hands
Fighting to defend your rights
So you can maintain a lifestyle
That insults his family's existence
Well, where I′m from we have a special
Salute that we aim high in the air
Towards all those pompous assholes
Who spend their days pointing fingers
(Fuck you)
Shhh quiet might piss somebody off
Like the heartbeat of this country when antagonized too long
I'll be damned if you count me in as part of your generous hypocrisy
Collecting enemies
Tabloid gossip queen worthless man
(There′s no need for us to bury you)
Selfish agenda once again
(Right this way you've dug your own grave)
I′ve had enough
It's time for something real
I don't respect the words you′re speaking
Gone too far
A clone
All the way from the east to the west we
Got this high society
Looking down on their very foundation
Constantly reminding us that our actions
Are the cause of all their problems
Pointing their fingers in every
Direction and blaming their
Own nation for who wins the elections
They′ve never contributed a fucking thing to the
Country they love to criticize
Excuse the obscene, ignore the untrue
Depictions we see try and get through
Admitting mistakes can hurt
I'm not the last but I sure ain′t the first
Shhh quiet might piss somebody off
Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head your best friend)
Heart bleeds but not for fellow men
(Broken glass your fake reflection)
I've had enough
It′s time for something real
I don't respect the words you′re speaking
Gone too far
A clone
Critical Bill's "I've Had Enough" is a song that speaks about the frustration of living in a society that is filled with people who are hypocritical, judgmental, and self-righteous. The lyrics suggest that the singer is confronted with people who are constantly feeding off of the insecurities of others and attempting to make themselves feel superior by putting others down.
The opening lyrics of the chorus, "I've had enough, it's time for something real," seem to speak to the singer's desire to break free of this mentality and find something more honest and genuine. The lyrics suggest that the singer's heart bleeds for his fellow man, but that he is tired of the fake reflection that he sees in the people around him. This may indicate that the singer feels that people are not living up to their potential or that they are not being genuine in their interactions with others.
The song also touches on themes of patriotism and of the conflicts that arise when people feel that they are being taken advantage of by those in power. The lyrics suggest that someone's kid, fighting to defend their rights, may have blood on their hands, and that this is a direct result of the lifestyle that many people in America maintain. The song suggests that people need to take a long hard look at themselves and their actions if they want to effect real change in society.

A clone
You are just like everyone else
