J. Cole - Cheer Up Lyrics
[Hook]Even through the joy I feel the painEven in the sun I feel the rainEven when I'm high I feel the lowsLike that's all I knowLord knows I can't complainBut even when I do it feels the sameI'm getting high just to fight the lows, cuz that's all I know[Verse 1]School girl, cool girlYou dressing sexy and your mama is a cougarSo she let you do the grown folks thangLet you hang with them boys and they play you like a fool girlYou got your new hair, it look so goodYou write the same niggas name in your notebookYou know the same one frome class, the one you let smashNow you see him 'round school and he won't lookNow girl you is fine, ain't no doubt about itBut why else you think he hit it and forgot about it?It's cause your mind don't match what your ass gotBut cheer up, you gotta be your own mascotYou see your lookin for a man like you need somebodyGet 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 at night thinking... [Hook]That's all I know, that's all I knowThat's all I know, that's all I... [Bridge]Hey Cheer up! Ey lil' mama cheer up! You got your whole life to live, ey why you want tear up?Don't let them lil' boy comp... Hey, hey! [Verse 2]Yea, I wake up in the morning and I ask my selfIs life wort living, should I blast myself?Don't even wanna get up out of bedI got the Glock to my head, feel I rather be deadHey, am I hopeless? Raised with rats and roachesNever like them Teachers, couldn't stand my coachesAsk what's the matter but you can't relateLiving the life that you hate but you can't escapeFeel like I'm stuck here, that's why I won't give the ***** hereThere's no luck here! No body to trust hereMy own mother yeah I love herBut things I heard as a child under my coversLeft me with scars, it was hard to see her sufferBlocking my heart and I don't know if I'll recoverI'm going under and as I'm headed to the front doorShe said she proud of me and I wonder what forAnd once more
