[Intro]
Yeah
I heard every prediction
Every laugh
Every “he ain’t gonna make it”
Funny thing is
I’m still here
[Verse 1]
They counted me out when the house fell apart
Counted me out when I was carrying dark
Counted me out when the streets had a grip
When every bad decision had me losing my shit
They counted me out when relationships broke
When friends turned fake and the loyalty choked
When my name got dragged through rooms I never knew
Everybody had an opinion on what I wouldn’t do
But nobody saw the mornings I got up anyway
Nobody saw the pressure I was swallowing every day
Nobody saw the nights I had nothing but a plan
Trying to build a different future from the ruins of a man
[Hook]
They counted me out
So I learned how to count on me
They buried the name
I came back with a legacy
They said I’d fall
Said I’d never get free
Now every step forward
Makes a liar out of what they believed
They counted me out
Now I’m adding it up
Every scar, every loss
Every time I got stuck
I don’t need revenge
I got proof when I move
You can bet against me once
But you better hate to lose
[Verse 2]
I remember being broke with a head full of dreams
Everybody loves potential till you threaten their scene
They’ll tell you “be realistic,” tell you stay in your lane
Usually from somebody too afraid to change
I took every rejection, every door in my face
Every time somebody acted like I didn’t belong in the race
Turned it into pressure, put the pressure in work
Now the same doubt that hurt me is the reason I search
For another level, another way to improve
Another reason every morning I got something to prove
Not to strangers, not the past, not the ones throwing shade
To the version of myself who almost threw it away
[Bridge]
You counted the failures
I counted the lessons
You counted the losses
I counted the chances
Different math
[Verse 3]
Now I walk like a man who knows what he survived
Not invincible—just somebody who refuses to die
There’s a difference in confidence when it comes from the dirt
When you know exactly how far you climbed from the hurt
I ain’t finished yet, don’t mistake progress for peak
I got years left ahead and I’m hungry every week
Got a daughter I’m inspiring, got a future I can see
Got a life I’m constructing where they pictured debris
So keep every old opinion, every joke, every doubt
Put ’em all in one room and let ’em figure me out
I don’t need to tell ’em anything, results speak loud
Funny how they stop laughing when you make yourself proud
[Final Hook]
They counted me out
So I learned how to count on me
They buried the name
I came back with a legacy
They said I’d fall
Said I’d never get free
Now every step forward
Makes a liar out of what they believed
They counted me out
Now I’m adding it up
Every scar, every loss
Every time I got stuck
I don’t need revenge
I got proof when I move
You can bet against me once
But you better hate to lose
[Outro]
They counted me out
Good
Made the comeback quieter.
