[J. Cole - Cheer Up lyrics]
Even through the joy I feel the pain
Even in the sun I feel the rain
Even when I’m high I feel the lows
Like that's all I know
And Lord knows I can't complain
But even when I do it feels the same
I’m getting high just to fight the lows
Cause that's all I know
Yeah, school girl, cool girl
You dressing sexy and your mama is a cougar
So she let you do the grown folks thang
Let you hang with them boys and
They play you like a fool, girl
You got your new hair, it look so good
You write the same nigga's
Name in your notebook
You know the same one from class
The one you let smash
Now you see him 'round school
And he won't look
Now girl you is fine, ain't no doubt about it
But why else you think he hit
It and forgot about it?
It's cause your mind don't match
What your ass got
But cheer up, you gotta be your own mascot
You see you're lookin' for a
Man like you need somebody
Get your ass off of Twitter
You could be somebody
A doctor, a rock star, baby live life
But, you rather wet up all
Your pillows all night thinking
Even through the joy I feel the pain
Even in the sun I feel the rain
Even when I’m high I feel the lows
Like that's all I know
And Lord knows I can't complain
But even when I do it feels the same
I’m getting high just to fight the lows
Cause that's all I know
That's all I know, that's all I know
That's all I know, that's all I
Hey cheer up! Ey lil' mama, cheer up!
You got your whole life to live
Ey why you wanna tear up?
Don’t let them lil' boy come but do
Some when they try push up hey, hey
Yeah, I wake up in the
Morning and I ask myself
Is life worth living, should I blast myself?
Don't even wanna get out the bed
I got the Glock to my head
Feel I rather be dead
Hey, am I hopeless? Raised
With rats and roaches
Never liked them teachers
Couldn't stand my coaches
Ask "what's the matter?" but you can't relate
Living the life that you hate
But you can't escape
Feel like I’m stuck here
That's why I don't give a fuck here
There's no luck here, nobody to trust here
My own mother, yeah I love her
But things I heard as a child under my covers
Left me with scars
It was hard to see her suffer
Darkened my heart and I don't
Know if I’ll recover
I'm going under and as I'm
Headed out the front door
She said she proud of me
And I wonder what for? And once more
Even through the joy I feel the pain
Even in the sun I feel the rain
Even when I’m high I feel the lows
Like that's all I know
And Lord knows I can't complain
But even when I do it feels the same
I’m getting high just to fight the lows
Cause that's all I know
That's all I know, that's all I know
That's all I know, that's all I
Hey cheer up! Ey lil' mama, cheer up!
You got your whole life to live
Ey why you wanna tear up?
Don’t let them lil' boy come but do
Some when they try push up hey, hey
Even in the sun I feel the rain
Even when I’m high I feel the lows
Like that's all I know
And Lord knows I can't complain
But even when I do it feels the same
I’m getting high just to fight the lows
