They Counted Me Out

[Verse 1]
They wrote my obituary while I was still breathing
Twelve months in the darkness, everyone was leaving
Counted me out, said I'd never make it back
But they forgot I'm built different - I don't know how to crack
Under pressure, I get stronger, that's the secret that they missed
While they were writing me off, I was making my list
Of everything I'd accomplish when I rose from the dead
They counted me out - that's the biggest mistake they ever made
[Pre-Hook]
You can bury me alive but I'll dig my way out
You can count me out but watch what I'm about
To do, to prove, to build, to become
The greatest comeback story - I'm not done
[Hook]
They counted me out, said I was finished, said I was done
They counted me out, didn't know the war had just begun
They counted me out while I was gathering my strength in the dark
They counted me out - now watch me leave my mark
On history, on the world, on everything I touch
They counted me out - that was their mistake, thank you very much
For the motivation, for the fuel, for the fire in my soul
They counted me out - now watch me take control
[Verse 2]
Sleeping twelve hours, they said "he's never waking up"
Stammering in videos, they said "he's not good enough"
Applying for jobs, they said "he's hit rock bottom now"
But what they didn't see was me making my vow
That this would be the greatest comeback they'd ever witness
That I'd turn my test into my testimony, my mess into my fitness
For the mission I was born to complete against all odds
They counted me out - I guess they forgot I'm built by God
[Verse 3]
Three days was all it took to prove them fucking wrong
Three days from rock bottom back to where I belong
At the top of my game, at the front of the crusade
Three days to show the world the comeback I had made
They thought the darkness killed me, thought I'd never see the light
They counted me out - didn't know I was preparing for this fight
For my life, for my legacy, for everything I've dreamed
They counted me out - I guess it's not as bad as it seemed
[Bridge - Build]
This is for everyone who smiled when I was down
Who whispered that I'm finished, who said I'd drown
In my depression, in my failure, in my shame
I remember every face, I remember every name
And I'm about to make you regret ever doubting me
Not out of spite but to show what's possible when you believe
In yourself even when nobody else does
They counted me out - now watch me rise above
[Verse 4 - Aggressive]
I was dead last year, now I'm deadly this year
I was falling last year, now I'm steady this year
I was sleeping last year, now I'm eating this year
Everything in my path, making moves you can't measure
I'm treasure hunting for my billions while building my empire
They counted me out - lit an unextinguishable fire
Inside my soul that burns hotter than the sun
They counted me out - the comeback has begun
[Verse 5]
From job applications to owning a thousand businesses
From stammering and scared to moving with decisiveness
From napping in the day to walking twenty miles
From hiding from my purpose to going for it with style
From depression to expression, from victim to victor
From counted out to counted on - the plot got thicker
When I decided to come back harder than they'd ever seen
They counted me out - I took it personally, you know what I mean?
[Hook - Full Power]
They counted me out, said I was finished, said I was done
They counted me out, didn't know the war had just begun
They counted me out while I was gathering my strength in the dark
They counted me out - now watch me leave my mark
On history, on the world, on everything I touch
They counted me out - that was their mistake, thank you very much
For the motivation, for the fuel, for the fire in my soul
They counted me out - now watch me take control
[Bridge 2 - Emotional]
This comeback isn't just for me, it's for everyone who's been
Counted out, written off, told they'll never win
I'm showing you it's possible, I'm proving dreams come true
They counted me out - and they'll count you out too
So use it, let it fuel you, let it drive you insane
Until you prove them wrong and stake your claim
To greatness, to glory, to everything you're owed
They counted me out - now watch me own the road
[Outro - Triumphant]
Years from now they'll teach this story in business school
How the guy they counted out rewrote every rule
How he turned his darkest year into his greatest weapon
How he made his comeback when nobody was expectin'
Him to rise, to thrive, to build an empire on his pain
They counted me out - biggest mistake they'll ever make again
And again when they see me, they'll remember the day
They counted me out and I made them pay
Attention to what's possible when you refuse to die
They counted me out - now watch me touch the sky
This is my comeback
This is my redemption
This is my resurrection
They counted me out
But I counted on myself
And that's all that ever mattered
