Recognize & Witness

Yeah, aye, yo
I said recognize and witness, reca, recognize and witness
Recognize and witness, reca, recognize and witness

Now recognize the raw essence, who got questions—these the lessons
I been stressin so long and rappin so aggressive
Got that S up on my chest, forget your list, I'm on tonight
Came up in Cyphs and bless em with light up on the mic
I love to write, I love to freestyle more
And take flight with my A game but the beast style's raw
See I got miles on these tours, you ain't been outta state with yours
I brings it down with the force and leave your crown with a loss
Recognize, you pay the cost with the stripes you earn
Sometimes you gotta F it twice for lessons to learn
Confirm what you know that means you know that you know it
Now recognize what you know and don't fix what ain't broken

Recognize and witness, reca, recognize and witness
Recognize and witness, reca, recognize and witness

Recognize and witness the workin of all the warriors
I was feelin euphoric, I guess cuz what the story was
Mad heroic, my atoms was showin, that or glowin, I been at opponents
Out in the light they tryna catacomb us
I on't need a mentor, feelin like a centaur
I just hear the now and how it sound and what it was meant for

Ayo witness shit! I on't want y'all lookin the other way
Mic killer in broad day on broad way with a broad slayed
My penmanship beat swords back and slash dragons
Everything that rule around me is cash backwards
Ayo—we'll make you rich, here's a check, here's some debt
Ayo no disrespect but how's this to my benefit
It take money to make money son, now is you wit the shit
Y'all got me wrong man, thinkin I'm oblivious
Witness the game first hand and stand on my feet smart
I'm from the sticks in the south but rockin street art
I witnessed your weak heart and now we keep apart
If y'all tryna make that heat start, you need to feed the spark

Recognize and witness, reca, recognize and witness
Recognize and witness, reca, recognize and witness

Recognize and witness the workin of all the warriors
I was feelin euphoric, I guess cuz what the story was
Mad heroic, my atoms was showin, that or glowin, I been at opponents
Out in the light they tryna catacomb us
I on't need a mentor, feelin like a centaur
I just hear the now and how it sound and what it was meant for

Well I reckon Nas was one of the first that made me recognize
In a drive when J crashed I was a wreck inside
I had a rare vision I was everywhere spittin
The crowd grizzly good, y'all are bout to bare witness
True a drummer that used to rock to the metal of Slipknot and the devil
Y'all just not up on my level, I rip blocks in the ghetto
It gets hot up in this hell hole
Look, dog, I'm more hip hop than the Chapelle show
Y'all suck and blow like harmonica breath
Y'all need to recognize and witness, I'ma God in the flesh
Who got a problem with the Optimus prime rhyme esophagus
Start cyphers on colleges, L!VE is in the gospel scripts
Yeah and we livin in revelation
Every single sentence I fill em with dedication
Look, shit and I ain't never lie but to the dentist
Two time Carolina champ, recognize and witness, holla
