J. Cole - Holdin' Me Back lyrics

[Chorus: J. Cole] What's sunshine with no rain What's joy without no pain And I'm still gon do my thing There ain't no holding me back Hey I'm gon get mine believe that And what's sunshine with no rain And what's Joy without no pain Hey yeah Yeah hey [Verse: J. Cole:] The city f**ed up even thug n***as getting robbed. Know it's bad when the drug dealers getting jobs Same n***as who skipped out on graduation At the gas station filling out the applications but They ain't calling me back Best friends be our references Pay checks spent on necklaces Down payments on the Lexuses Debit in the negative Overdraft with the sky overcast But I'm screaming f** the pessimist Cause there ain't no holding me back, huh The little n***a had big dreams to do big things But in this thing everything ain't what this sh** seems Trying hard to come up in the flag pole just to Find out your heroes is some a**holes But there ain't no hlding me back
