Pass Me By

Pass Me By - J. Cole

Yeah

Yeah

Dear Mrs. Bill Collector

I know you just doing your job don't mean to disrespect ya

But weve been going through this thang since way back

I told you when I get the dough I would pay back

But I got problems baby yeah if you only knew

I got bigger problems baby yeah

So why you talking about the money that I owe

Like as if I didn't know man

It don't mean nothing to me

Cause right now I got my lil boy crying and my grandmother dying

Could you please stop f**kin' with me

Listen here I ain't looking for no tears but my brother got a year

And my momma keep smoking that sh*t

On top of that I'm broke please put that in your notes

For the next one to call me up talking that sh*t

So life don't pass me by

Cause sometimes it'll leave you stuck don't ask me why

Gotta keep this trailer moving no time to cry cry

So lonely days I say goodbye bye

Gotta live for today so life won't pass me by

Cause sometimes it'll leave you stuck don't ask me why why

Gotta keep this trailer moving no time to cry cry

So lonely days I say goodbye bye

Gotta live for today so life won't pass me by

Hey, Dear Mr. Policeman

Hey am I wrong ain't you suppose to keep the peace man

I coulda swore I was driving pretty peaceful

So why the hell is you pullin' over me for

Is it this black Mercedez

Oh now I get it I get it I get it

Or cause I'm black hmmm maybe

Hey tell me why my hands start sweatin'

And I hold my breath everytime that you get behind me

I turn my music down so you won't hear a sound

Man I'm nervous like I got a couple pounds on me

You pulled me over you frown on me

With your flashlight tell me what do you see

Thug niggas ** dealers it's a trip

Every ni**a in this whip got a motherf**kin' college degree

So life don't pass me by

Cause sometimes it'll leave you stuck don't ask me why why

Gotta keep this trailer moving no time to cry cry

So lonely days I say goodbye bye

Gotta live for today so life won't pass me by

Cause sometimes it'll leave you stuck don't ask me why why

Gotta keep this trailer moving no time to cry cry

So lonely days I say goodbye bye

Gotta live for today

Yeah my middle finger to the law bustin' off tryna touch the sky

My teacher said impossible but I'mma f**kin' try

Plus how he gon tell me he don't make the rules

Theres niggas dying everyday but we don't make the news

Instead they talking about some thunderstorm cyclones

Timmy got his bike stole top story tiger woods

How ironic on trial for possession of some chronic

My lawyer came to court man he was higher than the comet
