Recognize Lyrics
[Chorus: Big K.R.I.T.]
Bitch, recognize a king in your presence
Everythang I touch turn to gold
Rose petals everywhere that I stroll, crown got the glow
Gin creep up super slow like
Popped up the trunk, dropped the top on the slab
Had the AK-had the-had the AK
The gin creep up super slow like
Popped up the trunk, dropped the top on the slab
Had the AK-had the-had the AK
Bitch, recognize a king in your presence
[Verse 1: Bun B]
Well my go mode is instant
Flow mode is infinite
Hoe mode is some pimpin' shit
Yeah, my wordplay is intricate
Influence significant, motherfuckin' magnificence
And my influence is integral
Charismatic essential, fuckin' up your centrifugal
With trill pumpin' all through my ventricles
Gladiators and sentinels, peep you through the peripherals
I see you pussy niggas out the optical
Catch your ass when it’s optimal, light you up like an Optimo
Got a little legal with a colossal flow
Fadin' me is impossible
Fuck boy so you gots to go
[Chorus: Big K.R.I.T.]
Bitch, recognize a king in your presence
Everythang I touch turn to gold
Rose petals everywhere that I stroll, crown got the glow
Gin creep up super slow like
Popped up the trunk, dropped the top on the slab
Had the AK-had the-had the AK
The gin creep up super slow like
Popped up the trunk, dropped the top on the slab
Had the AK-had the-had the AK
Bitch, recognize a king in your presence
[Verse 2: Bun B]
Bitch, I'm old school like an Acura
Flip flows like a spatula, verses full of vernacular
Creep up on ya like a tarantula
Darker than Blacula, no speculation, I'm spectacular
And my insight is immaculate
Aim on me is so accurate, hoe, you don’t know the half of it
We gon' send you home with some fractured shit
When really though my tactics is deeper on some didactic shit
I'm just out here tryna educate
Build you up, mayne, and elevate, lift you up 'til you levitate
Expediate the shit up to a better rate
Ignorance tend to hesitate, fuck it then, we gon' let 'em wait
[Chorus: Big K.R.I.T.]
Bitch, recognize a king in your presence
Everythang I touch turn to gold
Rose petals everywhere that I stroll, crown got the glow
Gin creep up super slow like
Popped up the trunk, dropped the top on the slab
Had the AK-had the-had the AK
The gin creep up super slow like
Popped up the trunk, dropped the top on the slab
Had the AK-had the-had the AK
Bitch, recognize a king in your presence
[Verse 3: T.I.]
Hustle meticulous, so concerned with particulars
Hard as hell makin' millions and still remain inconspicuous
Bitches be so adventurous, they get wet when you mention us
Even the white ones, daddy hear 'bout it, they think of lynchin' us
Government plans, fencin' us in, life in the pen
For sellin' shit you put in our hood, no, I did not do it
We desperate, starvin' and dyin' to eat, die in the street
For a fraction of what I get now for a soundin' fly on the beat
Hmm, I'm the anomaly, honestly, you should honor me
But how can I act like I'm the shit like wasn't no one in front of me?
How can I not acknowledge all the pimpin' Bun had done for me
Okay, listen, fella, never ever disrespect the predecessor
[Outro: Big K.R.I.T.]
Bitch, recognize a king in your presence

Recognize was produced by Big K.R.I.T..
How did this song come about?
K.R.I.T. created this beat. Probably about, I don’t know, maybe ten months ago. Late 2017 I would say. The beat is very new age. So it’s not an old school type of beat. It’s very modern, and so I wanted to make sure that I gave it a modern flow, but went a little deeper than maybe most people would...
What inspired you to use such high-level wordplay?
I’ve always been heavy on my vocabulary. I’ve always been well-read. You know what I’m saying, and then, my thing is to take words that you don’t normally hear in the hip-hop lexicon and add them, but make sure that I’m doing it in a way that people don’t have to say, “What does that mean?” I try to...
What was it like collaborating with TI?
He was still doing ‘Ant Man’ at the time, so he was like, I’m not going to be back in time. We did a lot of the recording of this album in Atlanta, and he’s like, “I probably won’t be back any time soon, so if you need it under a certain time frame, you might have to just send it to me.” So we sent...
What was the writing process like?
I sat down and wrote this rhyme. I sit down and write everything, so I don’t really freestyle my way through verses like some people do nowadays, just kind of going in and rhyme stuff, and see what works and what doesn’t. There was a concerted effort to put this kind of concise lyrical flow and patt...
