Is it ever enough? Is it ever enough? Is it ever enough? Uh, okay, what do you want from me? What do you need? I'm only a human, baby, and we all bleed Never live with vices or destroy with greed I'm a man with pride, I won't beg or plead Just ask, what do you want from me? Is it ever enough? (Uh) Okay, what do you want from me? (Uh) Is it ever enough? (Uh) Ayy check it, check it, check it Men and women are quite different though our vision is jaded We originated to coexist however you play it Woman was made from the man's rib, that's why we can't live You be the judge, but ain't no Uncle Phil without an Aunt Viv Mother Nature and Father Time, moonlight and sunshine Everything's interconnected and it's all by design Yin and yang and since the big bang, ain't shit change Sometimes I feel like Russell Wilson, other days I'm Rick James Life is a balance, duality is one of my talents If you ask me to express myself that's gon' be a challenge When I bought that Birkin bag I had to ask my accountant He said, "Hell nah," but mustard seed faith move mountains Bad decisions will derive from you just bein' in love She ain't the type who out all night that you could see in the club We both share the same problems, we got too much pride What do you want from me? Got nothin' to hide, girl, come on now Okay, what do you want from me? What do you need? I'm only a human, baby, and we all bleed Never live with vices or destroy with greed I'm a man with pride, I won't beg or plead Just ask, what do you want from me? Is it ever enough?

Fish and bread to the masses In terms of gettin' head I was the head of my classes Yin to my yang like the feds and harassment Everythin' good, my nigga, like why you askin'? Beware of ulterior motives, deeper desires My whole catalog, I'm keepin' the fire My mom still go to work everyday, can't wait 'til she can retire I keep it real and that's what people admire, they ask Okay, what do you want from me? What do you need? I'm only a human, baby, and we all bleed Never live with vices or destroy with greed I'm a man with pride, I won't beg or plead Just ask, what do you want from me? Is it ever enough? (Uh) Okay, what do you want from me? (Uh) Is it ever enough? (Oh) I'll give you the world, world I'll give you the world, world 'Cause I'ma keep it G real I don't fuck with you, cuz You disrespected me You disrespected my hood by tellin' me take off my flag Askin' how gangsta I was, nigga You lucky on that day I was actin' cool, cuz I told you I ain't got time for that, my nigga Today I got time, cuz
