Answer
I am a CounterThe expression to "buy something under the counter" is to imply the illegal supply of goods.
In various games wooden, plastic or ivory counters are used to keep track of positions and scores.
To counter literally means to answer an attacking move, whether it be in checkers or boxing or arguing.
And the final line is a blatant clue: 1, 2, 3, I'm a counter.
