Good Enough

I got my mothers skin I’ve got my father eyes
Its something that I cant deny
its nothing that I wanna hide
and even though my roots come from the other side
I didn’t think they would mind
Cos i heard that love was blind
So many cant understand, when it comes to me and you
Cos I don’t fit their descriptions
Tell me how to change traditions
When there’s all of them and one of me How can I change a million minds in this lifetime
What is it I have to do If I erase my history — what defines me If I let them change the truth
Would I be Good Enough For You?
I wish they looked at me and they could see beyond
Everything think they think I am Cos pedigree don’t make a man
Don’t have to dig too deep to see I’m just like you
What is it they want from me — tell me what more can I prove- Why-
So many cant understand, when it comes you and I I Don’t fit in their descriptions — though I try
To change those old traditions
When its all of them and one of me
(I could lie I could lie I could lie)
Let them take all I knew
Would I be good enough for you
We pretend we have open minds
Yet we judge so fast
Tell me why — to live out my future — yeah
I must surrender my past
