Count Me Out - Young Noble, Trae Tha Truth, Akk

They tried to count me out

They tried to count me out

They tried to count me out

It’s like I’m better than I ever been (Ever been)

Dedicated, more focused than I ever been (Than I ever been)

I’m the truth if it ever was (Was)

This that Outlaw love, that’s forever love (C'mon)

I put my heart in e’y line (Yeah)

A lil' food for thought a sparkin' of the minds (Minds)

They would rather see me back on the block clutchin' a nine (Nine)

Labeled a statistic, dead or doin' time

And I know they never counted on me beatin' the odds (Beatin' the odds)

My tax is up the park, my kids doin' fine

Independent it’s all dependin' on my grind

This is all gods plan, guess he meant for me to shine

The lord don’t make mistakes

He gon' test you e’yday just to see if you break (Break)

Just to see if you gon' stand up and carry the weight (Weight)

See if you deserve the shit you ask for when you pray

See if you gon' have the faith when e’ything good for ya (Good for ya)

You gotta pray when e’ything goin' good for ya (C'mon)

They tried to count me out

These niggas tried to count me out the game

They tried to count me out

They tried to count me out

They tried to count me out

These niggas tried to count me out the game

Feelin' like the world left me for dead somewhere on my own

Though it was wrong, somehow I got the fuck back in my zone

I’m one of the realest to ever do it as king on the throne

I put my team in position, in a league of my own

They told me never lose my faith and fight well under pressure

Less than a week later, my brother was dead on the stretcher

If pain was a story then tell them my life is a lecture

I told the devil if he’s slippin' this choper gon' wet’cha

I adapt to my situation, hustle everything

Guess I’m a menace that shine' in the dark weavin' through heavy rain

And still I stand they hear me louder now like heavy gain

My emotion is so much colder now like heavy caine

Heavy chains around they lies the truth will set 'em free

Show 'em what they wasn’t told and lead 'em where they could see

I keep it G in life 'cause that’s just what I chose to be

So many try to duplicate but they was never me

Yeah, they was never me

Look, they can try but they will never be

They tried to count me out

They tried to count me out

They tried to count me out

These niggas tried to count me out the game

They tried to count me out

They tried to count me out (Nobe, It’s Akk)

They tried to count me out

These niggas tried to count me out the game

Grew up in a single house, raised by a single mother

No daddy to help us out, had to get it from the gutter

They say since I’m trappin' I’m a bad example for my brother

But even my brother know, my sister and my mother know

That a nigga grindin' I’m tryin' to get up out the struggle

Went from nick 'n' dimin' to rhymin' I had to switch the hustle

Facin' five years at eighteen, he thought I was finished

But got house arrest and even judge don’t know why he did it

Walkin' out the court room like thank you god

Try to lock me for mad years, but I can’t be stopped

Then I went to school got my music engineer degree

Pennin' my own label, Brillionair records LLC

You can’t name another nigga that done done it young as me

They tried to count me out but it ain’t that simple as one, two, three

And now I’m takin' trips to them places you wanna be

To foreign countries where they exchangin' the currency

And now I’m seein' things that they said that I’d never see

That’s probably 'cause I’m in that place they said I’d never be Sheesh

They tried to count me out

They tried to count me out

They tried to count me out

These niggas tried to count me out the game

They tried to count me out

They tried to count me out

They tried to count me out

These niggas tried to count me out the game

Out the game

Don’t tell me words don’t matter (Yeah)

I have a dream, just words…

We hold these truths to be self-evident

That all men are created equal, just words…

We have nothin' to fear but fear itself, just words…

Just speeches, but speeches don’t solve all problems

But what is also true, is if we can not inspire the country to believe again

The American people want to believe in change again

Don’t tell me words don’t matter
