Lyrics

Recognition

[Intro: Quavo]

You know it feel good when your recognized

Recognized (Recognized, Recognized)

I just wanted to be

I didn't know all this was gonna come with it

[Chorus: Quavo & Takeoff]

I just wanted to be recognized

I just wanted to be recognized

I just wanted to be recognized

I just wanted to be recognized

Now I'm having recognition (Recognition, recognition)

Now I'm having recognition (Recognition, recognition)

I just wanted to be recognized (Recognition, recognition)

Now I'm having recognition

[Verse 1: Quavo]

I just want to be recognized

Make my momma smile

Make my grand momma proud

Now I got recognition

Same people doubted see me on television (TV)

Pocket watching on a nigga cheque

Recognize a nigga Rolex

17 years old nigga kicking doors

Couldn't even vote yet

Meditation of the mind was the greatest thing a nigga found

They recognize a nigga sound

And we didn't let the world down

Started with a brick turned it to a foundation

Turn the foundation to an empire

I'm the founder of Yung Rich Nation

And I still get recognized by my old patients

With a snaggle tooth smile, he said he happy that I made it

[Chorus: Quavo & Takeoff]

I just wanted to be recognized

I just wanted to be recognized

I just wanted to be recognized

I just wanted to be recognized

Now I'm having recognition (Recognition, recognition)

Now I'm having recognition (Recognition, recognition)

I just wanted to be recognized (Recognition, recognition)

Now I'm having recognition

[Verse 2: Takeoff]

If I got the feeling that I weren't recognized

I know I'd still be recognized in momma's eyes

I'm in the trench coat for the skies

I keep the .45 on my waistline

Shoot your block down with the Glock like a alpine

Fuck it shoot the club up call me Shyne

These Balmains no Calvin Kleins

Flood my neck with that gold like Busta Rhymes

That Migos on the billboard worldwide we recognized

A lot of these niggas wanna be recognized

But get caught jammed up not gonna do the time

I know some niggas they got acquitted

And they didn't want tell and get crucified

I'm smoking on OG, it ease my mind

Need some Visine cause I got the red eyes

Ain't thinking 'bout a bitch I'm getting money cause these bitches come and go like red eyes

Now I'm recognized taking trips in my lamb I own it no enterprise

Looking at niggas can't be mad at niggas cause nigga just want to be recognized

[Chorus: Quavo, Takeoff & Offset]

I just wanted to be recognized

I just wanted to be recognized

I just wanted to be recognized

I just wanted to be recognized

Now I'm having recognition (Recognition, recognition)

Now I'm having recognition (Recognition, recognition)

I just wanted to be recognized (Recognition, recognition)

Now I'm having recognition (Offset)

[Verse 3: Offset]

Momma said recognize God

I recognized then my momma had pain in her eyes

So I walked through the shadow, the valley of death

I'm addicted to drank and I can't even help it (lean, lean, drank, drank)

Pussy nigga taking selfies

Ask me for money I told that nigga no he go round the hood saying I'm selfish (huh?)

That's the reason that I left him

Your momma keep calling say help

She didn't recognized you was a failure

I wanted to be recognized

Went to the mall and bought me a 10 and told the school it caught me five

My OG taught me to be wise

Thanking the lord cause I'm recognized

VH1 you can go see it live

Now you see me shining now you want to ride (Skrrr)

They finally recognized

They copy the way we rhyme

[Chorus: Quavo & Takeoff]

I just wanted to be recognized

I just wanted to be recognized

I just wanted to be recognized

I just wanted to be recognized

Now I'm having recognition (Recognition, recognition)

Now I'm having recognition (Recognition, recognition)

I just wanted to be recognized (Recognition, recognition)

Now I'm having recognition
