About This Track

The third single from 'PARTYNEXTDOOR TWO', released in July 2014, features a guest verse from Drake and production by PARTYNEXTDOOR himself. The track pairs the two OVO Sound artists in a mode of whispered commitment, both addressing a romantic interest across the pull of competing attachments.

PARTYNEXTDOOR adopts a posture of possessive devotion, acknowledging the presence of others whilst insisting on singular intent. The production is spare and the delivery intimate, the song built around repeated declarations of want and the demand that she recognise him when they meet. Drake's contribution extends the same logic, the two Canadians trading verses in a shared register of late-night assurance.

The track runs just over five minutes, its length allowing the mood to settle rather than escalate. It is a love-ode that commits without raising its voice, the promises murmured rather than proclaimed.

"Recognize" is a track by PARTYNEXTDOOR, from the album PARTYNEXTDOOR TWO, released 14th July 2014. It's filed under R&B/Soul. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about PARTYNEXTDOOR.

Lyrics

Recognize

[Intro: PARTYNEXTDOOR]

Gotta get real again, gotta get real again

[Chorus: PARTYNEXTDOOR]

Know, you got niggas and I got bitches

You got niggas and I got bitches

You got niggas and I got bitches

You got niggas

I want you, I want you

To turn up on me every night when I see you

Better recognize when I see you

I really want you, you, you

Hit the club for you, you, you

Lightskin got you new, new, do

Even look like Lauren Lo too

I be tripping, but this money ain't

Hit the strip, check my money length

Sorry if my whip covered in dank

'Cause I've been rollin' with this skunk all day

All these bitches know that you're my nigga

I ain't trippin' off of any of your niggas

'Cause I don't care about your nigga, four niggas

Five niggas, six niggas, I ain't give a shit about shit, nigga

Girl, I see you

Know, you got niggas and I got bitches

You got niggas and I got bitches

You got niggas and I got bitches

You got niggas

I want you, I want you

To turn up on me every night when I see you

Better recognize when I see you

I really want you, you, you

Hit the club for you, you, you

Lightskin got you new, new, do

Even look like Lauren Lo too

I be tripping, but this money ain't

Hit the strip, check my money length

Sorry if my whip covered in dank

'Cause I've been rollin' with this skunk all day

All these bitches know that you're my nigga

I ain't trippin' off of any of your niggas

'Cause I don't care about your nigga, four niggas

Five niggas, six niggas, I ain't give a shit about shit, nigga

Girl, I see you

[Interlude: Top Cat & PARTYNEXTDOOR]

Only special request fi the gyal dem

From north, south, east and west

For the body ah look good you know y'haffi

God bless, bruk wild, bruk a man spine

God bless, bruk wild, bruk a man spine (Gotta get real again)

[Verse 1: PARTYNEXTDOOR]

Girl, you must be doin' magic

Girl, you must be doin' magic

Turn fuckin' you to a habit

I could name a lot of things any other man

Won't do for you, I do for you

When I hit you at your condo real late

Check the scene and see if you straight

Then cut like kids cake

I got that feelin' for you, that feelin' that you crave

Each time I do it for you, I make that bad pussy behave

Now pop it, bottles, the top is so open

The budget, I'm Party, so fuck it

The concierge told me my new baby looking like LeToya Luckett

Let my money get older and older and older and older like Regis

And she will not fuck with no broke niggas, no, nigga, only the richest

[Chorus: PARTYNEXTDOOR]

Know, you got niggas and I got bitches

You got niggas and I got bitches

You got niggas and I got bitches

You got niggas

I want you, I want you

To turn up on me every night when I see you

Better recognize when I see you

I really want you, you, you

Hit the club for you, you, you

Lightskin got you new, new, do

Even look like Lauren Lo too

I be tripping, but this money ain't

Hit the strip, check my money length

Sorry if my whip covered in dank

'Cause I've been rollin' with this skunk all day

All these bitches know that you're my nigga

I ain't trippin' off of any of your niggas

'Cause I don't care about your nigga, four niggas

Five niggas, six niggas, I ain't give a shit about shit, nigga

Girl, I see you

[Verse 2: Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR]

Yeah, shout the girls from the East who know what's good with me, yeah (Girl, let's—)

Shout the ones from the West know what's good with PND, oh-oh (G-girl, let's—)

Stories of you and your girls is all I hear (Girl, let's—)

Who do you fuck in the city when I'm not there? I owe you time

Let's plan somethin' out when I come back from Europe

Swear I'm withholdin' my urges 'til you get this one-on-one shit like your name Katie Couric

I gotta get you those snow tires for your Mercedes

I'm glad you reminded me, baby

All of these things slip my mind, it's been crazy

Bite on your shoulder, I know that's your favorite

Touching yourself to that video we made a month ago

You a freak and your cover's blown

How you talked me into sendin' that to you, I'll never know

Fuck it, girl, I'm 'bout whatever though

Yeah, I guess a nigga just believe in you and that's proof for you

Could name a lot of things any other man won't do for you

I'll do it for you, that's real

[Chorus: PARTYNEXTDOOR]

I want you

To turn up on me every night when I see you

Better recognize when I see you

I really want you, you, you

Hit the club for you, you, you

Lightskin got you new, new, do

Even look like Lauren Lo too

I be tripping, but this money ain't

Hit the strip, check my money length

Sorry if my whip covered in dank

'Cause I've been rollin' with this skunk all day

All these bitches know that you're my nigga

I ain't trippin' off of any of your niggas

'Cause I don't care about your nigga, four niggas

Five niggas, six niggas, I ain't give a shit about shit, nigga

Girl, I see you
