Count on You
you ever want somethin' so bad you would kill for?
you ever dreamt of the day when your name's in the lights on a billboard?
you ever sat with a blank page thinkin' of things you can say to appeal to the masses?
hot flashes.
i'm askin.
is that the kinda life that you're built for?
rap's more than the babes in the bilmore.
it's amazing to stand on a stage and to perform.
especially when everything that you work for.
is a melody and every beat's in a third chord.
it hurts more.
the mainstream radio doesn't wanna hear what you say, it's beyonce surfboards.
you stay up all night, you writin' away for the sake of the days on your first tour.
you search more.
for the right things to say.
i guess i could write a pop song.
fuck, i mean it might be the way.
naw, cuz i don't wanna get popped on.
we got a fanbase and what they expect is the best of us.
no time for bandaids and lock jaw when the clock calls i'll be dead with the rest of us.
so from here on.
i'll be here with my gears on.
i'm a rockstar it appears.
mine as well reappear for a year long.
and it feels so right cuz.
me and mike wanna go see the world to perform and we still might.
but we all need help through the storm of it all most people they should know what it feels like.
you ever feel like.
can't apologize for bein' ourselves.
we get lost sometimes.
truth is that we all need help.
we all make mistakes, it's one thing that we bound to do.
you can count on me.
can i count on you.
not as bad as it seems.
what the people say.
and we all got dreams.
where we wanna be someday.
we all make mistakes.
i won't take it out on you.
you can count on me.
can i count on you?
you ever wanna quit sometimes?
fuck yeah man we all have.
but life keeps goin'.
no breaks.
no stops.
no hall pass.
one day you wake up to cloud nine the next day the shit can feel like a car crash it's all bad.
so what the fuck you posed to do when you feel the good luck is overdue.
the good stuff you would touch is right there.
look past the bad dreams.
the nightmares.
life is made to knock you down no time to gripe so we fight back and fight fair.
i promise it'll get better.
i swear.
if you find that you can't deal one day.
hit the volume.
push play.
you can count on me through the sound of my voice i'll be right here.
you ever wanted to change a life?
people feed off the things we say and each word that we put on a page at night.
so i'll be damned if i don't go all in to make sure i say shit right.
we got a job to do.
but the problem's most rappers drop the ball to be popular, hip hop gets chopped and screwed.
so can i.
can i count on you.
to hold me accountable for all i do.
i swear that no matter where-ever i go me and mike'll be watch through a birds eye view.
i might slip up for a sec and get off track, but just know that any verse i do.
is straight from the heart.
you can count on me.
when my days get dark can i count on you?
can i count on you?
can't apologize for bein' ourselves.
we get lost sometimes.
truth is that we all need help.
we all make mistakes, it's one thing that we bound to do.
you can count on me.
can i count on you.
not as bad as it seems.
what the people say.
and we all got dreams.
where we wanna be someday.
we all make mistakes.
i won't take it out on you.
