Never Enough
J. Minor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No other can define what I'm worth
I be trying to move forward to provide on this Earth
For my people cause everybody's pride got em cursed
When you're selfish and you fall you getting what you deserve
Don't complain
We all been through hell and felt trapped, held back
But you still gotta grow and make laps
That love is much greater then aiming to make racks
When the sunshine rise
I know it's my time
To contribute to the world or be caught in my mind
We focus on things that just keep us all blind
We ain't feel no shame cause we're living our lives
So free
Material living, dollar signs
Got our eyes focusing on the prize instead of trying
To keep eachother safe, by feeding our humankind
When you see em on the corner it's easy to drive by
Ask why
Why don't we care?
Why don't we trust?
Why are we so afraid?
Where is the love?
It's like our whole life goes down the drain
Cause we never wanna wake up
In this world where there's so much to gain
But it's never enough
We are so cold
So indifferent to the pain that our souls hold
As long as we getting paid everything goes
Society made us aim for the same goals
Everybody wants the range rove
Switching lanes rolling in the bank roll
Acting like I ain't know it's painful
For many of our brothers and our sisters in the same globe
5 Minutes away you'll find a child with the same clothes
He ain't got no other cause he all alone
His momma slowly dying but you'll never know
Cause you been occupied with your cell phone
Stuck in a fantasy you see we dead wrong
We ain't got nothing to stress bout
This is the why so many getting left out
And no to hand to help em they just staying on the death route
You gon send em prayers many prayers well they dead now
God gave us life for a reason that's why I just shout Why
Why don't we care
Why don't we trust
The world is our family
I think we've seen enough
Of everyone who's suffering
We need to rise above
The selfish cold mentality
And start sharing the love
In the beginning of J. Minor's song "Never Enough" the artist expresses his belief that God should come first in one's life. He emphasizes the fact that a person's worth cannot be defined by anyone else, and that individuals should focus on moving forward in order to provide for their loved ones. J. Minor notes that selfishness will ultimately lead to downfall, and that individuals should not complain about their struggles in life. Life is short, and people should aim to spread love by caring for and supporting one another rather than solely focusing on material wealth.
The second verse of the song focuses on how society has made people aim for the same goals, often at the expense of others. People become wrapped up in their own desires, prioritizing their needs and wants over everyone else's. Such a mindset causes individuals to adopt a "cold" and "indifferent" attitude towards others' suffering, which perpetuates a cycle of neglect and lack of compassion. J. Minor urges his audience to break free from this mentality and start sharing love and kindness to rise above their selfishness.
This powerful song encourages people to reflect on their priorities and to re-evaluate their values. It reminds us that one's worth is not determined by material possessions or accomplishments, but rather by how they treat others. Despite the challenges of life, we should strive to spread positivity, kindness, and love.

Our focus on material success has made us selfish and cold to others
And start sharing the love
We should be more loving and compassionate to others
