Recognize - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Physilmic Dwayne]

I started as a poet with a song and then a comic

Thought of making money, was the reason i recorded

At the age of 7 I had bars but I, couldn't really find the concept so I can do this music

I made a couple records, dropping knowledge tryna prove it

My pops wildin' out; "Why you actin' likr you stupid?

You messing up your focus and I'm tryna get you knowledge"

I didn't wanna listen to that nigga 'cause I couldn't do everything that he said that I shouldn't

I had love for this shit, I could die for this shit

It kept me alive, I was rollin' in the dip

I needed no distractions, I was skipping school for this

The streets showing hate, I was still doing this

Till it dumbed me down 'cause I recognition

What a stupid move 'cause I lost my concentration

I should've kept it real since the day that I started

If you don't recognize, what's right inside me

Don't watse my time please, Yeah

If you don't recognize, what's right inside me

Don't watse my time please, Yeah

If you don't recognize, what's right inside me

Ever since I started this rap shit, I'm active

Better teach these niggas what class is not fashion

Just think about it, these niggas actin' like models

And if they do not get it, they drownin' out with these bottles

Look, don't be surprised, superstars is living lives, they made it overnight, it's funny how they claim the prize

Look, this rap shit, aye, [?] holding elastics, I, practice

When they be sleeping, I be woke

I wonder what the heart, what is sleep when I'm a GOAT

I remember favours I didn't ask for, that's when they wanna tamper, with champions they do a pass on, aye

And handshakes are not the same

They only know my latest, they don't even know my name

I mean, I'm still a human

They only wanna talk about the songs that I'm producing, aye

I mean, I'm still a human

Why only wanna talk about the songs that I'm producing?

If you don't recognize, what's right inside me

Don't watse my time please, Yeah

If you don't recognize, what's right inside me

Don't watse my time please, Yeah

If you don't recognize, what's right inside me
