[J. Cole - No Holding Me Back lyrics]
What's joy without the pain
And I'm still gon' do my thing
There ain't no holding me back
Aye I'mma get mine, believe that
And what's sunshine with no rain
And what's joy without the pain
The city fucked up
Even thug niggas getting robbed
Know it's bad when the
Drug dealers getting jobs
Same niggas who skipped out on graduation
At the gas station
Filling out them applications, but
They ain't calling me back
Best friends be our references
Paychecks spent on necklaces
Downpayments on them lexuses
Debit in the negative
Overdraft, with the sky overcast
But, I'm screaming fuck the pessimists
Cause ain't no holding me back
The lil' nigga had big dreams
To do big things but in this game
Everything ain't what this shit seems
Try hard, to climb up to the flag-pole
Just to find out that your
Heroes is some assholes
But ain't no holding me back
I'mma get mine, believe that
Aye what's sunshine with no rain
Aye what's joy without the pain
Man I'm still gon' do my thang
