Hakeem's POV

"You're coming tonight right?" Asked Jamal.

"And miss Jamal Lyon's comeback performance?" I replied. "Damn right I'll be there."

"Appreciate the love and support bro." Said Jamal.

"Anytime brother." "So I've been working with Bella" "And I think it's time that we get her out there." "Performing wise." Jamal suggested.

"I don't think she's quite ready yet." I replied.

"Aw come on." "Hakeem she learn from the best." "Her Uncle."

"Her pops you mean." I replied.

"How come you don't think she's ready?" Jamal questioned.

"You know the crowd can be crucial and I don't won't my baby girl getting hurt." I replied.

"Well how about I bring her on stage with me tonight?" Jamal suggested.

"Not tonight man, and besides this is your comeback performance, how about next time." I replied.

"Alright man" said Jamal.

Tiana's POV

"Kennedy!" "I missed you so much." I exclaim.

"Hey girl." "It's been awhile and you're looking good." "Kennedy replied.

"Thanks!" "So do you." I responded. "Your kids are so big now." "But um what is going on with that son of yours?" Asked Kennedy.

"You heard the diss record huh?" I asked.

"Unhuh." Kennedy responded with a nod.

"I believe he's acting out because he's upset with how things are between Hakeem and I."

"Aww things aren't going so well huh?" Kennedy questioned.

"Sadly no." I responded.

"Well we need to take your mind off of things." "Jamal is having his comeback performance tonight." "We should go." Kennedy suggested.

"Umm Idk." I hesitated.

"Come on T" "It will be fun." Replied Kennedy.
"I guess you're right."

Hakeem's POV

"So I'm thinking about opening up with some old songs from my first album." Replied Jamal.

"Sounds dope man. I responded. "Well I'm gonna let you set up bro." "Catch you later."

There was alot of people here tonight. I guess everyone was excited about Jamal's comeback performance. I went over to the bar to order a drink.

"That better be cranberry juice boy." Cookie replied.

"Ma when did you get here?" I asked.

"I've been here awhile." Responded Cookie. "And I mean it Hakeem no getting drunk and acting wreckless."

"It's just one drink Ma." I replied.

"That's all it take is one drink." Cookie responded.

"I promise Ma, I'll be on my best behavior."

"You better be boy."

"It's my pleasure introducing the talented singer songwriter who happens to be my son on his comeback performance" Jamal Lyon! Lusicous announced. Everyone applauded.

Jamal appeared on stage.

"You guys should remember this song from my first album." "It's called Good Enough."

I gave you all of me
But it still ain't enough to make you happy
I gave you everything
It still don't measure up, no
It feels like I walked 5 thousand miles
And didn't even come close
Feels like I try to make you smile
But you don't even care, no

I'll never be big enough to pay your dues
But I keep trying
You just keep on making me jump through hoops
What do I got to do?

I just want you to look at me
To see that I can be worth your love
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough
I just wanna be good enough for you baby
Good enough, good enough, yeah
