There was a little boy and his name was Dre
Dre was about to go to the 3rd grade
He Got dressed for the very first day
And at breakfast he had a sad look on his face
His mom asked, son what's the matter?
He said nothing but his expression
Got sadder
First day of school brings all kinds of doubt
There's New people and a new school to figure out
He said Mom, what if the new kids don't like me ?
They Have parties and ride bikes without me
What if they're mean, and they tease me
Or if I struggle cause the work isn't easy
Man
Mom knew just how to reply
She said look at me and hold your head up high
You got places to go and people to see
But first things first, repeat after me!
I'm good enough
I'm smart enough
I'm lovable and I'm capable
And if I put my mind to it
I know that I can do it
Cause I'm lovable and I'm capable
Yo, it seems so simple when you hear it
But you gotta know it and believe it in your spirit
People see me now and say "he's so confident"
When I was young it was "he's so opposite"
Cause They went left, and I went right
I wrote songs about whatever I liked
Not what would make me a success overnight
Just Loving each part of myself, and appreciating what makes me unique
Putting it on beats to show it off to each person I meet
And Now I know happiness is greatness
And being normal is kinda overrated
Your differences are what make you special
So be yourself, dude, you don't need no one to let you
Look close Find the beauty in it all
Face the world stand up tall
And tell em
I'm good enough
I'm smart enough
I'm lovable and I'm capable
And if I put my mind to it
I know that I can do it
Cause I'm lovable and I'm capable
Anything that you want to do
Anything that you want to be
It's all possible all you got to do
Is believe
Anything that you want to do
Anything that you want to be
It's all possible all you got to do
Is believe
I'm good enough
I'm smart enough
I'm lovable and I'm capable
And if I put my mind to it
I know that I can do it
Cause I'm lovable and I'm capable
