The song "Enough" by Rory, Reggie, and Jay Electronica explores the themes of love, self-reflection, and the complexities of relationships. The lyrics depict a conversation between two individuals, with each expressing their perspectives on the meaning of love and the adequacy of their efforts in the relationship. The first verse starts with the narrator questioning what would happen if they revealed their deep understanding of the other person's needs and desires. In response, the other person acknowledges that while the narrator may provide material support and security, there is much more to love and relationships. They express that the narrator's actions alone are not enough proof of their love and understanding. The chorus emphasizes the narrator's mistaken belief that their efforts in love are sufficient. They think that they have done everything needed to make the relationship work. The following verses delve into the narrator's frustration and disappointment in the relationship. They compare their emotional state to the tears of Lot's wife in the biblical story. They also mention not caring and blocking out the other person's words, indicating a sense of detachment or resignation. The lyrics incorporate references to Ike Turner and Mike Jack (Michael Jackson). Ike Turner is known for his abusive actions towards Tina Turner, while Michael Jackson's reflection in the mirror refers to his song "Man in the Mirror" and the introspective journey he embarked upon. The narrator questions why they need to constantly ask for explanations and points out the other person's flaws. They mention giving their heart but taking it back, suggesting a broken trust. The notion of looking back and the symbolism of brimstone falling represent the consequences and judgment that occur when one dwells on past mistakes. The repetitive chorus reiterates the narrator's belief that they have done enough, despite the disapproval and doubts of the other person. The song ends with the narrator bidding farewell, acknowledging that their love was conditional and deciding to move on. They compare themselves to a fisherman with dynamite, implying that they are willing to take risks and disrupt their own stability in order to find their own version of love and fulfillment. Overall, "Enough" explores the complexity and nuances of love and relationships, questioning the sufficiency of one's efforts and the need for mutual understanding and acceptance.
