[Intro: Young Noble, Aleah Paige & Both]
They tried to count me out
They tried to count me out
They tried to count me out

[Verse 1: Young Noble]
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)

[Chorus: Young Noble, Noble & Aleah Paige]
They tried to count me out
They tried to count me out
They tried to count me out
These n***as 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 n***as tried to count me out the game
[Verse 2: Trae Tha Truth]
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

[Chorus: Noble, Noble & Aleah Paige & Akk]
They tried to count me out
They tried to count me out
They tried to count me out
These n***as 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 n***as tried to count me out the game
[Verse: Akk]
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 n***a 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 n***a 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

[Chorus: Young Noble, Noble & Aleah Paige]
They tried to count me out
They tried to count me out
They tried to count me out
These n***as 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 n***as tried to count me out the game
Out the game
[Outro: Barack Obama]
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
