Never Holding Me Back lyrics
by J. Cole
[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 f*cked up, even thug n*ggas getting robbed
Know it's bad when the drug dealers getting jobs
Same n*ggas 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 f*ck the pessimists
Cause ain't no holding me back
The lil' n*gga had big dreams, to do big things
But in this game, everything ain't what this sh*t seems
Try hard, to climb up to the flag-pole
Just to find out that your heroes is some as*h*les
[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
