Jeezy - Recognize My Life lyrics

[Verse 1: Game] Let me tell you why I do this sh** I'm a son of a gun cause moms was a Hoover Crip First day I got signed I had to prove I spit Freestyle with Busta Rhymes (Busta: son, duke is sick) The protege of Doc Dre, I could finally put the shoes on Now that the rumors of Rakim and Cube gone They say truth hurts, sunk like quick sand Don't stop me in traffic and ask about Hittman I gotta restore the feeling that crawled from under the rock After Tha Dogg Pound crushed the buildings I got a family to feed, I'm the middle of 9 children We can talk about a loan after I sell 5 million If I tell you I ain't Game and I don't know Dre You goin' do me like Xzibit and cut half of my face? I take all the credit for putting the west back on the map If you ain't feeling that, guess I'm Guerrilla Black [Hook: Kendrick Lamar] Recognize my life Ridicule my fight Give me fuel for the fire burning when I yearn these lights In the midst of the hieroglyphs my fingertips start to write Get familiar with Cartwright Cause I want that shot, I'm a raging bull when the needle drops For the record, I'mma wreck it, even if my record don't pop I'mma tie a knot on a downtown building, let it tow behind me tell 'em They can find me in the dark with the ghetto children look at my heart n***a f** your feelings, this is me [Verse 2: Young Jeezy] Patty cake, patty cake, microwave s**as make a square, goddamn I'm paid (ha ha) I'm so cool, but I'm so hot, and I'm, I'm so fly, and you, you're so not (nope) Show me what you're workin' with just like that (like that) Turn around, bend over, bring it back (bring it back) Snowman and Mannie Fresh bring it back (bring it back) It's Mannie Fresh and Snowman, it's a wrap Strapped up in the club, yeah I'm so crazy These other rappers actors like Patrick Swayze (ha ha) I tried to tell 'em but these n***as ain't hearin' me Mossberg pump I'm ridin' shotgun literally (daaamn) Live from the projects, you know what it is Ay, Snowman, (what up), can I get a ad lib?
