RECOGNITION Lyrics by Tierra Whack
I did what you told me to
I’m tryna be strong for you
The love is overdue
They need to recognize
I don’t got time to waste
Won’t sit around and wait
Honey, you’re running late
You need to recognize
After years of grinding, you dig a hole to climb in
The world wasn’t made for me, I had to redesign it
Completed the assignment, fighting fire with a hydrant
The adversities could’ve turn me to a tyrant
Was taught be nice to my tongue, don’t bite it
In these dark times, I still remain vibrant
Anomaly, a hybrid, shut it down like an eyelid
I see a path, I light it, I have never been misguided
Discernment doesn’t hide it
Pressure, I applied it
Learn to never get excited
‘Cause it leads to disappointment
When I win I like to rub it in like some ointment
Humble got me nowhere, I’m similar to mohair
And coming trim, nose hair
You like to play it safe like the coach here
Eventually they bench ya, see, you should’ve took a risk with me, I’m known to make history
I know mister misses me
Did what you told me to
I’m tryna be strong for you
The love is overdue
They need to recognize
I don’t got time to waste
Won’t sit around and wait
Honey, you’re running late
You need to recognize
The art is undeniable, your source is unreliable
I paid you some attention when I was not required to
My financial advisor said I should’ve never hired you
Niggas won’t put in no work but be entitled too
Everything I did was beneficial, the entire crew
Given opportunities that only I provided, ooh
Strange how the hero and the villain are the same person
If I tell my side of the story, make your pain worsen
Ideas coming off the dome, brain surgeon
You gon’ make me paint the city red like some stage curtains
Give me what I want, give me what I’m owed
All the overlooking getting old
I said, give me what I want, give me what I’m owed
All the overlooking getting old
