Counted out
🎤 “Counted Out”
They counted me out ‘fore I counted myself in
Judged the book off the scars on my skin
Said I’d lose before I learned how to win
Now I walk in the room, feel the shift in the wind
They was sleepin’ on a chosen one, now they wide awake
Pressure built diamonds, I’m everything they couldn’t break
Heart full of hunger, all I knew was elevate
Now the same ones doubtin’ got that fear they can’t escape
Life ain’t come sweet, I ain’t dine with a silver spoon
Had to fight in the dark, learn to grow in a different room
They labeled me a problem, but the problem wasn’t me
It was people gettin’ paid who ain’t see what I could be
Tried to cage my mind, said I move too different
But I see what they don’t, I don’t need they vision
ADHD, they say it like it’s somethin’ wrong
Nah, I just see the world in a place where I belong
I don’t read it out a book, I gotta touch it, feel it
Every lesson that I learned, I went and lived it, breathed it
I don’t fit they system, never asked to be accepted
I was built for more, I ain’t wired to be corrected
Now I’m everything they said I’d never turn into
All the pain I carried turned into a better view
Every scar speak truth, every loss was a lesson
Now I’m standin’ on it all, ain’t no second guessin’
They counted me out… now I’m who they talk about
Voice from the struggle, yeah I made it out the drought
Chosen from the bottom, had to rise without a doubt
Now I’m lookin’ at the sky screamin’ “this is what I’m ‘bout”
🔥 If you wanna push it even further:
I can:
�⁠Turn this into a full song structure (hook / verse 2 / bridge)
�⁠Match it to a specific beat style
Or �⁠make it hit even darker, more emotional, or more aggressive
Just say the direction 🎯
