[Intro: Walter Williams Sr. & Angie Stone]
Dam-dam-dam (Ooh)
Da-da-da-da-dam (Ooh)
Dam-dam-dam (Ooh)
Dam-dam (Da-dam)
[Verse 1: Walter Williams Sr., Angie Stone, Beyoncé]
Took me a while, but I'm finally here
So I just wanna testify, make it crystal clear (Take your time)
See I've been picked out to be picked on (Oh, Lord)
Talked about out my friends' mouth
I've been beat down
'Til He turned my life around
(Turn my life around)
[Chorus: Walter Williams Sr., Angie Stone]
Seems like I always fall short, of being worthy
'Cause I ain't good enough, but He still loves me
I ain't no superstar, the spotlight ain't shinin' on me (No, no, no, no, no)
'Cause I ain't good enough (Ah), but He still loves me
Loves me
[Verse 2: Beyoncé, Eddie Levert, Choir, Walter Williams, Sr.]
I used to wake up somedays, and wish I'd stayed asleep (Why can't you get up?)
'Cause I went to bed on top of the world
Today, the world's on top of me
Everybody's got opinions they share
They ain't been in my position (They don't care)
That it breaks my heart when I hear what they
Have to say about me yeah (What they say about you?)
[Chorus: Choir & Beyonce]
Seems like I always fall short (Fallin' short)
Of bein worthy (Lord, I ain't worthy)
'Cause I ain't good enough (No, no)
But you still loves me (But you still love)
I ain't no superstar (I ain't no superstar)
The spotlight ain't shinin' on me (But I wanna be for you)
'Cause I ain't good enough, but He still loves me
[Bridge: Choir, Beyoncé, Walter Williams, Sr., Angie Stone]
I'm not perfect (I'm not perfect, no, no, no)
Yes, I do wrong (Yes, I do wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong)
I'm trying my best (Trying my best, but)
But it ain't good enough (Just ain't good enough, no, no)
Shunned by the world (Shunned by the world)
If I don't succeed (If I don't succeed-ceed-ceed-ceed)
'Cause I ain't good enough (I ain't good enough)
But He still loves me (I just ain't good enough, But You love me)
[Verse: Choir, Angie Stone, Beyoncé]
If you ain't worthy, just raise your hands
And let me know that you understand
That we are all so blessed
To be loved, loved
Stand for Him or fall for anything
'Cause through his eyes, we all look the same
What will we do without blame?
[Chorus: Choir, Beyoncé]
Feels like we always fall short, of being worthy (We are not worthy)
'Cause I ain't good enough (I ain't good enough, I ain't good enough), but you still loves me
I ain't no superstar (I ain't no superstar)
The spotlight ain't shinin' on me (But I wanna be for you, Lord)
'Cause I ain't good enough, but you still love me, me, me, me
[Bridge: Choir, Beyoncé, Angie Stone]
I'm not perfect (I'm not perfect, no, no, no)
Yes, I do wrong (Yes, I do wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong)
I'm tryin' my best, but (Tryin' my best)
It ain't good enough (I ain't good enough)
Shunned be the word (Shunned by the world)
If I don't succeed (I don't succeed-ceed-ceed)
'Cause I ain't good enough (I ain't good enough), but He still love me
(But y'all sing with me)
I'm not perfect, yes, I do wrong (If you understand just sing with me)
I'm tryin my best (I do) but it ain't good enough (But the Lord's been so good to me)
Shunned be the word (If you're shunned by the world)
If I don't succeed (Shunned by the world)
'Cause I ain't good enough (I ain't good enough)
But he still loves me (The Lord still loves me)
No, I ain't good enough (No, no, no, no, no), but He still loves me
(Raise your hands if ya understand)
No, I ain't good enough (How he blessed you cuz he blessed you too)
But He still loves me (Even though I ain't worthy)
No, I ain't good enough (You ain't worthy, He's there for you)
But He still loves me (No matter what I do)
No, I ain't good enough (I ain't good enough)
But he still loves me B(ut the Lord still loves me)
