J. Cole — Never Holding Me Back

[Chorus] What's sunshine with no rain 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 [Verse 1] 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 Down payments on thеm Lexus' Debit in the nеgative 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 [Chorus] What's sunshine with no rain 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 What's sunshine with no rain 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 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
