Count On Me lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
You know you can always count on me, yeah
You know you can always count on me
You know you can always count on me

[Verse]
I can't let 'em trick me out my spot, I know how bad n*ggas wanna trade places with me
I'm just tryna right my wrongs, if it take too long, you just gotta be patient with me
n*ggas don't even dislike me, they really just mad that I made it out a place they didn't
The love so fake, but the hate realistic
The love so flaky, but the hate persistent
When a n*gga show his true colors, you better be payin' attention
It was all good, we was both broke and we ain't have sh*t
We was still good when you leveled up and I was glad to see it
We was still good when you was winnin', I just had to sit and wait
I was cheerin' for you like a motherf*cker, you was tryna rub it in a n*gga face
But I ain't trippin', I just waited my turn, oh my, how the tables turn
I got me some and tried to split it with you, I gave n*ggas more than they deserved
I gave more than they gave me, I thought we was on the same team
But they ain't tryna keep it circulatin', had to cut 'em off, that's gangrene
It's my fault, okay, blame me, but broke is one thing I can't be
My checks clear, my mortgage due and my child support is in the same week
Oh, poor little Black boy, poor little Black boy
Trouble always gon' find you, it don't matter if you go and ask for it
I been puttin' up squares like the little squares they put on the backboards
I been swingin' that stick at all my opps since I played Astroids
What the f*ck you think I rap for? My kids can't fit inside a RAV4
Me and Pif like Mike Lowrey, Marc Burnett, we was bad boys
Puffy signed me to Bad Boy when I was sackin' up like the bag boy
Spent one session in Daddy's House and I was out the motherf*ckin' backdoor
I ain't fabricatin', this is real sh*t, I might be difficult to deal with
I think my heart pump Novocaine, 'cause most the time, I don't feel sh*t
My life is one long metaphor, sold more squares than an Eggo or
Sold more blocks than a Lego store, sellin' dope is part of my repertiore
Mama told me go to junior college, mama told me rap would never work
Mama told me turn the music down, she didn't wanna hear that when she get off work
Mama told me, "f*ck the studio, you should go and be a bus driver"
I said, "Mama, what the hell? You never seen a nineteen-year-old bus driver"
My mama couldn't see the vision and I don't blame her, I get it
They call it chasin' your dreams 'cause dreams aren't realistic
In that sense, I'm Peter Pan and this vocal booth is Never-Neverland
And I'm goin' home to f*ck Tinkerbell and even Captain Hook could use a second hand
My exes mad I'm doin' excellent, I left and got a ring like Kev Durant
Left a n*gga high and dry, yeah, I got the message, so I had to mail it back
Got it out the mud from 'round the snails and rats, left footprints, you can check my path
Mr. Trip wants all the smoke, that's 'cause I made it through hell and back, on Pif
