J. Cole - Pass Me By Lyrics






[Verse 1]
Yea, yea, yea,
Dear Mrs. Bill Collector
I know ya just doing your job, don’t mean to disrespect ya
But we’ve been going through this thang since way back
I told ya when I get the dough I would pay back
But I got problems babayy...yea, if you only knew
I got bigger problems babbayyy
So why ya talkin 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 fuckin with me?
Listen here, I aint lookin for no tears, but my brother got a year,
and my momma keep smoking that shit
On top of that, I’m broke, please put that in your notes
for the next one to call me up talking that shit

[B.o.B]
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 by
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 by

[Verse 2]
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 fo’?
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, drug dealers, its a trip, every nigga in this whip got a mothafuckin college degree

[B.o.B]
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 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 by

[Verse 3]
Yea, my middle finger to the law, bustin off, tryna touch the sky
My teacher said, “Impossible”, but I’mma fuckin try
Plus how he gon’ tell me, he don't make the rules
There’s niggas dying everyday, but we don’t make the news
Instead they talkin bout some thunderstorm, cyclones
Timmy got his bike stole, top story, Tiger Woods “be fuckin all these white hoes”
Anchorman stop snitchin
Cut the commercial, he be texting all the side bitches, hey my goodness
How ironic, on trial for possession of some chronic
My lawyer came to court, man he was higher than the comet
Hey your honor, is you kidding? How you sit above me?
Are you perfect mothafucker, how you finna judge me?
When you home you don't cuss, drink and puff like us
These cops is bad boys, baby just like Puff
They hate they jobs and they days be fucked up like us
At the end of the day, you niggas just like us

[B.o.B]
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 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 by

  34. R.... Z....

    I remember hearing this song when I was younger and tbh B.o.b. made it sound good too listening to it now. Cole deserves a lot his music is perfect

  35. F.... C....

    Wow long time since I heard this!

  36. A.... V....

    Yo deadass I've been listening to this joint for years... Classic and od underrated.

    A.... V....

    Good music is always underated. J.Cole,Twista, Wale before he became commercial. Just to name a few!

    A.... V....

    classical j cole flow.

  37. B.... G....

    and the song is Problems not pass me by.

    B.... G....

    +Blanca Gomez there's actually 4 different versions i've heard of: "problems" which is without a hook, "obstacles" featuring someone named supe on the hook, "leave me alone" with kevin cossum on the hook, and this version with bob on the hook... i guess its just one of those unfinished joints that got leaked and took on a life of its own

    B.... G....

    thank you

    B.... G....

    Blanca Gomez wrong

  38. B.... G....

    b.o.b killed this song..

    B.... G....

    played the guitar and errthang

  39. t.... ....

    I don't mind b.o.b. In this whys everyone hating

  40. b.... ....

    Good sing by why did BoB sing the chorus? A better voice would make this song be perfect

    b.... ....

    Try this version, leave me alone j cole.

    b.... ....

    B.o.B is a good singer smh

  41. B.... K....

    i thought this was problems....

  42. A.... H....

    problems

  43. F.... C....

    this ma jam

  44. c.... w....

    inspiration

  45. a.... ....

    this song is better with J. Cole just by himself on it. It's called Problems.

    a.... ....

    I agree. That was the only version I had ever heard but someone said this one had a hook so I checked it out and was pretty disappointed. B.O.B. could have had a dope verse though but I prefer it with just Cole too.

    a.... ....

    @kmew94 They don't fit together musically but they fit perfectly by meaning. Good idea but it needs better execution. I prefer original version too but sometimes it fills like something missing.

  46. H.... L....

    badass song man 692

  47. w.... l....

    Life all day n tomorrow 727

  48. M.... M....

    Some judge you without getting to know you sad story.

  49. K.... ....

    Is it this Black Mercedez ( Oh now i get it now i get it) or cause im Black Hmm Maybe

    best parrrrrrrrrrrrrt!!

  50. M.... ....

    Half the views on this are probably me.: one of the best tunes i hear ina while

  51. F.... K....

    i forgive you, don't worry :)

  52. E.... G....

    this some real shit . . . . I Love Jermaine cole <3

  53. B.... A....

    @EmpireState24 Yeah.

  54. M.... ....

    J coles a blessing to the rap game

  55. I.... ....

    is this the song problems with a different chorus?

  56. S.... R....

    Dear J cole-

    Thank you

  57. S.... R....

    Problems is the name of the version without B.o.B. in it.

  58. S.... W....

    This song doesn't suck at all! The fuck is your problem?

  59. M.... ....

    "or 'cause I'm Black, hmmm, maybe." LOL that is so true!

  60. B.... S....

    Still a great song

  61. a.... ....

    Sucks so much

  62. D.... G....

    Is this fake? Cause I heard at least 3 versions of this

  63. m.... k....

    wonderful song *-*

  64. a.... ....

    Jcole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  65. T.... N....

    Three different versions. "Problems" is J. Cole rapping with no hook, "Obstacles" is him rapping with that other guy on the hook, and this version in "Pass Me By". I honestly like "Obstacles" the best.

  66. a.... ....

    I don't like it I love it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much soooooooooooo much

  67. K.... ....

    I honestly agree with you. If you listen to his old songs you will be amazed at how much better he used to be.

  68. L.... H....

    Man , I Know Some ignorant people are going to shoot my dreams down but look im 16 and I rap , But I Want my music to inspire somebody or make somebody think different about these fucked up situations in life … so I made a song called ‘’ Smile ‘’ dedicated to females that’s stressed out // or been thru a lot . can you take like 5 minutes out your day to listen to it and comment YOUR HONEST OPINION . & Thumbs up so a female somewhere could get the message .. much love @QuisThaFlight

    L.... H....

    Lil Heem stay strong.keep it pushing

  69. M.... ....

    YMCMB= Yall Mad Cuz Marshall's Better.. lol

  70. J.... ....

    this is pass me by problems was the unfinished song

  71. A.... J....

    Isn't this Problems? Uh..

  72. H.... ....

    Trust me I know Drake music and the dude WAS good. And that's a huge emphasis on " was " because his old music was real but now it's just as weak and irrelevant as any other YMCMB rapper.

  73. D.... ....

    Instead the Talk about, Thunderstorms,Cyclones, Little Timmy got his bike stole, Top story, Tiger woods be fawkin all these White hoes... Aint that the Truth..

  74. T.... ....

    the one with b.o.b is pass me by :)

  75. T.... F....

    this song is problems not pass me by

  76. F.... K....

    Your apologies have not been accepted.

  77. A.... C....

    It was, they changed it to "Pass me by" so it can be a radio song :S

  78. D.... C....
