Recognition - Intellectual

[Producer Tag: Becksuses]

Bexy, bexy, bexy, bexy

[Verse 1: Counterfeit]

Started with nothing, I still ain't got nothing

Heads on the wall like I'm shooting and hunting

Thought I was done, but I'm back for the crown

Chances are high but my patience be down

Chasing the dream so the money can wait

Foot in the door but they locking the gate

Ain't gonna sell out or dumb down my style

They running in place while I'm going the mile

'Nuff of the fake shit, it's back to the basics

Change up my vision like I be on Lasik

Living a lie like I'm stuck in the Matrix

They paying to see me, I'm payin to be me

Hoping that one day I'll end up on TV

Hoping that one day my idols can see me

I'm hoping to break free like I be Houdini

Give me recognition (aye, yeah, yeah, yeah)

No more make a wish, I'mma make it happen

No more buying verses, you a fucking has-been

Turn on the cameras cause I'm taking action

You just fucking mad you ain't getting traction

In the beginning, we thought we could make it

By rapping on Soundcloud and faking our plays

We cleaned up our act, now we dreamin' bout plaques

But we still want the fame and we still want the pay

Took all the skeletons outta my closet

Took all the counterfeits outta my wallet

Cut off the liars who act like they honest

Ain't gonna stop till we turning a profit

[Chorus: Counterfeit]

All my life I'm always chasing recognition

Lay out all my thoughts, now I got the vision (aye, aye)

Think they spitting facts, they a work of fiction

Try to say they sorry, they ain't worth forgiving

All my life I'm always chasing recognition (yeah)

Fire off my feelings like they ammunition (aye)

They don't seem too happy when they see me winning

I ain't bout to fail, you can keep on wishing

[Verse 2: Counterfeit]

Singing my praise when you see me around

Tarnish my name when I'm leaving the grounds

Flooding my DM and begging and leaching

When I need your help, you just never be speaking

No more hosting parasites, got nothing left to give

No more helping deadbeats, only got one life to live (aye)

Rap is my therapy, paying per session

Get out my ties and get out my mentions

Rap is my therapy, paying per session

Cut off my ties and just get out of my mentions

Trash you till you reach the surface

Don't cave in, it just ain't worth it

Know who's real and know who's not

Know who's using cash and bots

All of these doubts bout to rip me apart

See through the fake like I'm using an X-ray

Think I'm all good but I lose it the next day

Back for the crown, I'mma say it again

Ain't made it far, I won't try to pretend

But I got the will and I got the connection

So I'm building up till I reach the perfection

[Chorus: Counterfeit]

All my life I'm always chasing recognition

Lay out all my thoughts, now I got the vision (aye, aye)

Think they spitting facts, they a work of fiction

Try to say they sorry, they ain't worth forgiving

All my life I'm always chasing recognition (yeah)

Fire off my feelings like they ammunition (aye)

They don't seem too happy when they see me winning

I ain't bout to fail, you can keep on wishing

[Outro: Counterfeit]

All my life I'm always chasing recognition

Lay out all my thoughts, now I got the vision (aye, aye)
