I did everything right
Still it wasn't good enough
(Wasn't good enough)
I work so hard
Battled through your judgements and criticisms, for what?
It's like a gotta be perfect to get your love
Like I gotta be some kind of Hercules
I did everything right
Still I wasn't good enough
Now all I want to do is get off this dizzy ride

I did everything right
Did just what you told me to do
Guess that's where I went wrong though
Made me look like a fool
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like I'm on the miracle mile
Sometimes I feel like I got some disease the way y'all looking at me
But ya can't get me down
Drowning trying to make it in America today
Gotta get me a job that can pay
Well enough to afford to live
But you need experience to get experience
And my whole life I need to give up like I'm a captive
But ya can't keep me down
Persistence and perseverance are the drugs that I take
Someday all this hurt and pain
Passion, talent and shame will be something
I'll turn it into gold, strike of lightning
You say just do what you're told
Still, they doubt and try to reject me
They can't keep me down though
Oh, they can't keep me down
I remember at just 16 playing soulful melodies
In the school auditorium full of empty seats
Thinking one day, it'll be me that they're coming to see
One with the music, then I'll be seen
Human Nature will make ya drown
But it can't keep me down, no
(Can't keep me down, can't keep me down)
Still insipid doubt surrounds
Just want to be loved
But ya throw me to the ground

Tell me it's not true
Tell me it's not true
Tell me it's not true
That I'm not good enough for you

No, tell me it's not true
That I'm not good enough for you
