My Truth

Lyrics

[DEVON] Never got the grades you wanted Always came up just a little short Not smart enough Not wise enough Sometimes I think I might be better If I had more of your support Of some sort But I finally found something that I believe in Don't need your approval or your help But it would be nice if you saw what I'm achievin' 'Cause I'm tired of fighting by myself Will I ever be good enough for you? It ain't a pleasure doing exactly What you think I should do I may never be good enough for you That ain't nothin' new But I'ma live in my truth [SHAWN] He only listеns when he wants That boy ignores my еvery plea If we don't agree Then I'm the enemy I want his life to be much better Than the life my dad gave me If only he'd see I'm giving him everything I believe in I want him invested in his self Though, it would be nice if you saw what I'm achievin' But he only cares about himself Will I ever be good enough for you? Don't think I'll ever say exactly What you want me to Maybe I'll never be good enough for you This ain't nothin' new But I will give you my truth [DEVON & SHAWN & BOTH] Where's the compromise If you talk down to me Every time? (Give him my truth) I can't live my life With your ideals I've gotta live mine (Teach him the truth) When it comes to what I say It's never the right time It's your way or the highway But not today Dad, I'm doing things my way (Son, it's gonna be my way) I'll do what I say 'Cause I know I'm gonna be okay (That way he'll be okay) And he won't like it either way Will I ever be good enough for you? (I'll never be good enough for you) Don't think I'll ever do exactly (I'll never say the things) What you want me to? (That you want me to) So I'll never be good enough for you (I'll never be good enough) That ain't nothin' new So I'ma live in my (So I'll give you my) Truth Live in my (Teach you my) Truth Will I ever be good enough, good enough, good enough (I'll never be good enough) For you? (For you)
