Count on Us

Paroles
Lyricist : Substantial/Stanley Bryan Robinson/Marcus Marino

Composer : Stanley Bryan Robinson/Marcus Marino

No surprise I’m the one they sleep on, I roll with dreamers

But when us two come thru we make’em believers

Fiendin’ thru your receivers when it’s all 3 of us

For the love of the music, high 5 for Jesus

In a Motel 6, wake up call at 7

Breakfast we ate later had these players in heaven

By 9:10, I’m in a cab to the airport

Boarding’s at 11, I’m not stressing so therefore

It’s time to finish up this rhyme I’m 12 bars into

Hold up... 13 now yeah this ****’s cool

Came up since 14 with a hissing ass demo

15 minutes strong though the songs were hella simple

Finish that 16 then I crashed like a cymbal

Sounding 17 again, I’m gon’ bodied that instrumental

Night before, packed house. It was 18 an over

Still would’ve been killed if only nine teens showed up

We focused, in 2021 we may have more for you

But still be underrated they say that’s a catch 22

We wanna be... rated the greatest like #23

But since our thinking’s too forward that’s something we might never see

25 mins before I board for my trip

Hit my driver with $20 + a $6 tip

Thinkin’ that I was 27 when I heard Marcus ****

28 when we began to plan the very start of it

Dark skin chick tapped me saying , “I don’t know what’s on your mind

You’re holdin‘ up the line, by the way your gate is 29"

“Purdy” lil’ 30 something sista from the motherland

Thanked her for the info, passed the checkpoint with my stuff in hand

Copped gum, snacks and a book for something to do

Cashier said my total’s $31.32

Phone at 33%, my battery is lame

Charged it and called my family ‘fore I boarded the plane

34 years young, making music with my friends

Documented through a 35 millimeter lens

Day and a half before, yo that’s when we hit the road

Only 37 copies of our album in tow

One show they all go ‘cause they’re a hot commodity

Imports plus shipping be like $38 a copy, B

Finally boarded, near a guy who’s 39 or 40

By the time we’re in the sky I closed my eyes and started zoning...

Just another day in this life of ours, homes

Seems like we the ones that you can count on

Feels right the moment they put the sound on

Count on us to hold it down from now on

(Repeat)

Drop on the 1

Clap on 2

Nod on the 3

This is 4 you

Drop on the 1

Clap on 2

Nod on the 3

This is 4 you

This is 4 you!
