lyrics

[Verse 1]
They're burning crosses from West Texas to Memphis
I've seen 'em burning out there by the lake
No-one gives a fuck when they up there burning
They hit you later like "Ey blood, you okay?"

[Verse 2]
I call my mother every morning for power
And if I didn't I'd have died a wreck
I count it back so I could stay with my people
Count it back so I could be there for me, oh

[Chorus]
Count it back, my friend
There's a-way to many going
I've seen, I've been so far you shouldn't have to go
Where thеy at, your friends?
There's too many that wе're mourning
Outlast, my skin

[Verse 3]
We used to stay up late and whip that chorizo
Smoking e'er before we hit the rep
Now I see you when you hop out the Rigo
Got a chevy now, you so select

[Verse 4]
I swear to God, you know about all my brothers
I bet Diablo know my last name the best
I count it back so I can be with my people
I count it back so I could stay there for me, oh

[Chorus]
Count it back, my friend
There's way too much been mourning
I've seen, I've been, so far you shouldn't have to go
Where they at, your friends?
There's too many of us going
Outlast my skin

[Outro]
He's got sunshine an', he's got big dreams
It's hard to know how, he'll found his way
If you've got some inclination
You know right where I stay
Put your shoes on and hammer the last
Hard to walk tall, but you will be fine, oh
Take your shots, boy, I got all the time, I know
We'll find a ways out and you will be mine
