DJ Premier - Recognize lyrics

[Verse One: Evidence] Recognize I wreck as an exercise Less is more, respect the most blessed alive The left coast got me most inspired Toast to that so I post here even though most have died You hear Ev' over Premier Clear the lane, maintain, the other half of Khalil is on stage Chase/Chace the clouds away to an infinite place Anywhere they recognize my face Recognize my age, that's another question I can't get a beer without them second guessing 31'st the new 21, back to acting troublesome Chicks get hard dick and bubble gum My 16 like numbers, they running 'em My M.O.? Get away clean till we coming up Two months I've been dumbing out to sum it up We one in a mil' all night until the sun is up Recognize "Recognize" "Don't get it twisted" [Verse Two: Chace Infinite] Uh Deep as The Pa**ion Of Christ My documented pa**ion for mics and Nikes n***a I'm nice like Babu, Rakaa and Mike Perretta precise like a surgical knife that it slice competitors You better recognize my mind designs of war Royal descriptions of moments in time From the insane to the profane and divine Scriptures that are recorded by modern day scribes To the art I dedicated my in life, it's not a game Then again it's not a culture, I see it a different way I represent the cornerstone, men of respect Wise vets, street n***as, do the knowledge in depth Recognize, acknowledge the rep Chace Infinite from Self Scientific, it's the gods of the west Kind of weird that I never rocked over Premier When Gang Starr is the blueprint for me and Khalil Recognize "Recognize" "Don't get it twisted" [Verse Three: Fashawn] I rock Nikes whether it's sunny or 20 below I'm from the No', nickle nickle lines is cold On a turf, young n***as sniffing lines of snow It's the mind that they chose, design to stay froze Time that I rose, shine like white gold Nah, don't ever think for a minute I might fold A menace, I'm type cold, who sitting in my throne? Hit the block in my princely robe I'm on the go Love getting money my n***a and need mo' sh**, how's we gon' eat if we broke? Love riding though L.A., hit Melrose Or, Sunset, Hollywood got hoes And pimps with backhands ice cold And a stack so fat it won't fold I'm that brand new flavor in your ear Next year, I bet I have a single with Premier Recognize "Recognize" "Don't get it twisted"
