J. Cole - Cheer Up lyrics

[Chorus:] 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 [Verse 1:] Yeah school girl, cool girl Your dress is s**y and your momma is a cougar So she let you do the grown folk's thing Let you hang with them boys and they play you like a fool girl You got your new hair, it looks so good You write the same n-gga's name in your notebook You know the same one from cla**, the one you let smash Now you see him round school and he won't look Now girl you wiz fine, ain't no doubt about it But why else you think he hit it and forgot about it That's cause your mind don't match with your a** got But cheer up you gotta be your own mascot You see you're looking for a man like you need somebody Get your a** off of Twitter you could be somebody A doctor, a rockstar baby live life But you'd rather wet up all your pillows all night thinking [Chorus:] 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 It's all I know It's all I know It's all I know It's all I Ay cheer up And lil mama cheer up You got your whole life to live Ay why you wanna tear up Don't let them little boys... when they try to push up Hey, hey [Verse 2:] 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'd rather be dead And am I hopeless, raised with rats and roaches Never liked the teachers, couldn't stand my coaches Ass must have mattered but you can't relate Living a life that you hate but you can't escape Feel like I'm stuck here That's why I don't give a f-ck 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 Ducking 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 say she proud of me and I wonder what for And once more
