Cheer Up - J. Cole

[00:09.69]Even through the joy I feel the pain
[00:13.05]Even in the sun I feel the rain
[00:15.85]Even when I’m high I feel the lows
[00:18.00]Like that's all I know
[00:20.16]And Lord knows I can't complain
[00:22.98]But even when I do it feels the same
[00:25.87]I’m getting high just to fight the lows
[00:28.09]Cause that's all I know
[00:30.01]Yeah, school girl, cool girl
[00:31.82]You dressing ***y and your mama is a cougar
[00:34.24]So she let you do the grown folks thang
[00:36.35]Let you hang with them boys and they play you like a fool, girl
[00:39.36]You got your new hair, it look so good
[00:41.74]You write the same *****'s name in your notebook
[00:44.19]You know the same one from class, the one you let smash
[00:46.90]Now you see him 'round school and he won't look
[00:49.24]Now girl you is fine, ain't no doubt about it
[00:51.60]But why else you think he hit it and forgot about it?
[00:54.02]It's cause your mind don't match what your ass got
[00:56.63]But cheer up, you gotta be your own mascot
[00:58.90]You see you're lookin' for a man like you need somebody
[01:01.59]Get your ass off of Twitter, you could be somebody
[01:04.08]A doctor, a rock star, baby live life
[01:06.52]But you rather wet up all your pillows all night thinking...
[01:10.05]Even through the joy I feel the pain
[01:12.14]Even in the sun I feel the rain
[01:14.75]Even when I’m high I feel the lows
[01:17.53]Like that's all I know
[01:19.46]And Lord knows I can't complain
[01:21.99]But even when I do it feels the same
[01:24.76]I’m getting high just to fight the lows
[01:27.35]Cause that's all I know
[01:29.18]That's all I know, that's all I know
[01:34.64]That's all I know, that's all I...
[01:38.31]Hey cheer up!
[01:39.11]Ey lil' mama, cheer up!
[01:42.22]You got your whole life to live, ey why you wanna tear up?
[01:46.47]Don’t let them lil' boy come but do some when they try push up
[01:51.83]Hey, hey
[01:56.74]Yeah, I wake up in the morning and I ask myself
[02:01.34]Is life worth living, should I blast myself?
[02:03.66]Don't even wanna get out the bed
[02:05.23]I got the Glock to my head, feel I rather be dead
[02:07.94]Hey, am I hopeless? Raised with rats and roaches
[02:10.65]Never liked them teachers, couldn't stand my coaches
[02:13.12]Ask "what's the matter?" but you can't relate
[02:15.36]Living the life that you hate but you can't escape
[02:17.55]Feel like I’m stuck here, that's why I don't give a **** here
[02:20.45]There's no luck here, nobody to trust here
[02:22.92]My own mother, yeah I love her
[02:24.68]But things I heard as a child under my covers
[02:27.17]Left me with scars, it was hard to see her suffer
[02:29.64]Darkened my heart and I don't know if I’ll recover
[02:32.01]I'm going under and as I'm headed out the front door
[02:34.81]She said she proud of me and I wonder what for?
[02:37.26]And once more
[02:38.04]Even through the joy I feel the pain
[02:40.61]Even in the sun I feel the rain
[02:43.00]Even when I’m high I feel the lows
[02:45.75]Like that's all I know
[02:47.79]And Lord knows I can't complain
[02:50.44]But even when I do it feels the same
[02:52.93]I’m getting high just to fight the lows
[02:55.75]Cause that's all I know
[02:58.17]That's all I know, that's all I know
[03:03.18]That's all I know, that's all I...
