Lyrics of 'Recognition' by Migos

You know
It feel good when you're recognized
Recognized (recognized, recognized)
I just wanted to be
I didn't know all this was gonna come with it

I just wanted to be recognized, uh
I just wanted to be recognized, uh
I just wanted to be recognized, uh
I just wanted to be recognized, uh

Now I'm havin' recognition (recognition, recognition)
Now I'm havin' recognition (recognition, recognition)
Now I'm havin' recognition (recognition, recognition)
I just wanted to be recognized (recognition, recognition)
Now I'm havin' recognition

I just want to be recognized
Make my momma smile, make my grandmoma proud (grandma)
Now I got recognition (whoa)
Same people doubted see me on television (TV)
Pocket watchin' on a nigga check, recognize a nigga Rolex
17 years old, nigga kickin' doors, couldn't even vote yet
Meditation of the mind was the greatest thing that a nigga found (found)
They recognize a nigga sound
And we didn't let the world down (down)

Started with a brick, turned it to a foundation (foundation)
Turn the foundation to an empire (–pire)
I'm the founder of Yung Rich Nation
And I still get recognized by my old patients
With a snaggletooth smile, he said he happy that I made it

I just wanted to be recognized, uh
I just wanted to be recognized, uh
I just wanted to be recognized, uh
I just wanted to be recognized, uh

Now I'm havin' recognition (recognition, recognition)
Now I'm havin' recognition (recognition, recognition)
Now I'm havin' recognition (recognition, recognition)
I just wanted to be recognized (recognition, recognition)
Now I'm havin' recognition

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 gon' do the time
I know some niggas, they got acquitted
And they didn't want tell and they get crucified
I'm smoking on OG that 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 (bitch)
Now I'm recognized takin' trips in my Lamb, I own it, no enterprise
Lookin' at niggas, can't be mad at niggas, 'cause nigga just want to be recognized

I just wanted to be recognized, uh
I just wanted to be recognized, uh
I just wanted to be recognized, uh
I just wanted to be recognized, uh

Now I'm havin' recognition (recognition, recognition)
Now I'm havin' recognition (recognition, recognition)
Now I'm havin' recognition (recognition, recognition)
I just wanted to be recognized (recognition, recognition)
Now I'm havin' recognition

(Offset)
Momma said: Recognize God (momma)
I recognized, then my momma had pain in her eyes (pain)
So I walked through the shadow, the valley of death (whoa)
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 sayin' I'm selfish (huh?)
That's the reason that I left him
Your momma keep calling, say: Help here
She didn't recognized you was a failure (failure)

I wanted to be recognized (recognized)
Went to the mall and I bought me a 10 and I told the school it caught me 5
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 shinin', now you wanna ride
They finally recognized (recognized)
They copy the way we rhyme

I just wanted to be recognized, uh
I just wanted to be recognized, uh
I just wanted to be recognized, uh
I just wanted to be recognized, uh

Now I'm havin' recognition (recognition, recognition)
Now I'm havin' recognition (recognition, recognition)
Now I'm havin' recognition (recognition, recognition)
I just wanted to be recognized (recognition, recognition)
Now I'm havin' recognition
