Recognize
Bun B T.I. Big K.R.I.T. Lyrics

Bitch, recognize a king in your presence
Acknowledging the greatness of the person speaking.

Everythang I touch turn to gold
Being successful in everything one does.

Rose petals everywhere that I stroll
Living in luxury and indulging in beauty.

Crown got the glow
Feeling confident and empowered in one's accomplishments.

The chin creep up super slow like
Approaching situations with a calm and collected demeanor.

Pop off the trunk, drop the top on the slug
Getting ready for action and confronting obstacles with force.

Hang the AK, h-hang the AK
Preparing for battle and asserting dominance.

Well my go mode is instinctive
Functioning in a state of automatic success.

Flow mode is infinite
Unlimited potential in creativity and talent.

Whole mode is some pimping shit
Living life in a way that exudes confidence and charisma.

Yeah, my wordplay is intricate
One's lyrics are complex and well-crafted.

Influence significant
Having a powerful impact on others and society.

Motherfucking magnificence
Being truly remarkable and extraordinary.

And my influence is intrical
Having an essential and indispensable influence on one's surroundings.

Charismatic essential
Having an irresistible charm and being vital to success.

Fucking up your centrifugal
Disrupting and destroying one's worlds and order.

With tree pumpin' up through my ventricles
Having the energy and drive needed to succeed.

Gladiators are sentinels
Being tough and vigilant in life.

Peep you through the peripherals
Observing and being aware of one's surroundings.

I see you pussy niggas out the optical
Noticing and calling out cowardice and weakness in others.

Catch your ass when it's optimal
Taking advantage of the best opportunities for success.

Light you up like an optimo
Defeating and surpassing others with ease.

Got a little legal with a colossuful
Having a lot of power and influence, even when obeying the law.

Fading me is impossible
Not being able to defeat or bring down one's success.

Fuck boys so you gots go
Beating and surpassing one's opponents.

Bitch, I'm old school like an Acura
Being experienced and skilled like an older car model.

Flip flows like a spatula
Dexterously switching up one's language and style.

Verses full of vernacular
Words being full of regional or cultural language.

Creep up on ya like a tarantula
Stealthily approaching and confronting one's challenges.

Darker than Blackula
Having a menacing and powerful presence.

No speculation, I'm spectacular
One's skills and success being a sure thing.

And my insight is immaculate
Having infallible intuition and knowledge.

Name on me is so accurate
Being known and respected for one's accurate portrayal of oneself.

Hoe, you don't know the half of it
Others underestimating one's greatness and impact.

We gon' send you home with some fraction shit
Defeating and putting down those who doubt or hate on one's success.

Then relay on my tactics
Using one's unique strategies and methods to succeed.

Deebo on some didactic shit
Being assertive and instructional in one's approach to life.

I'm just out here tryna educate
Teaching and enlightening others with one's knowledge and experience.

Build you up mayne and elevate
Helping others achieve success and reach their potential.

Lift you up 'til you levitate
Pushing others to achieve success beyond their wildest dreams.

Expediate the shit up to a better rate
Working harder and faster to reach greater success and progress.

Ignorance tend to hesitate
Those who lack knowledge and experience may hold themselves back.

Fuck it then we gon' let 'em wait
Being unapologetic and unyielding in one's pursuit of success.

Hustle meticular
Working hard and carefully to achieve success.

So concerned with particulars
Being fastidious and meticulous in one's work and life.

Hard as hell makin' millions
Putting in intense effort to achieve great wealth and success.

And still remain inconspicuous
Keeping a low profile and avoiding unnecessary attention despite success.

Bitches be so adventurous
Others being daring and bold in their actions and choices.

They get wet when you mention us
Others becoming excited and interested when hearing about one's success.

Even the white was there to hear 'bout it to think it, mention us
People of all races and backgrounds being interested in or envious of one's success.

Government plants, fencing us in, life in the pen'
The government and society creating obstacles and barriers that keep people in poverty and restrict freedom.

For selling shit you put in our hood, no, we're not doin'
Rejecting the idea of contributing to one's own oppression or perpetuating negative stereotypes about one's community through illegal activity.

We desperate, starvin' and dyin' to eat, die in the street
Living in conditions of poverty and danger, with few opportunities for success or survival.

For a fraction of what I get now for a soundin' fly on the beat, hmm
Earning a great deal of money and success through one's talent and hard work in music.

I'm the anomaly, honestly, you should honor me
Being a rare and exceptional talent that deserves recognition and respect.

But how can I act like I'm the shit like when no one in front of me?
Being humble and grounded despite one's success and talent.

How can I not acknowledge all the pimpin', what it done for me
Recognizing and being grateful for the positive impact and opportunities that success has given one.

Okay, listen fella, never ever disrespect the predecessor
Honoring and showing respect to those who came before and paved the way for one's success.

Bitch, recognize a king in your presence
Acknowledging the greatness of the person speaking.

Everythang I touch turn to gold
Being successful in everything one does.

Rose petals everywhere that I stroll
Living in luxury and indulging in beauty.

Crown got the glow
Feeling confident and empowered in one's accomplishments.

The chin creep up super slow like
Approaching situations with a calm and collected demeanor.

Pop off the trunk, drop the top on the slug
Getting ready for action and confronting obstacles with force.

Hang the AK, h-hang the AK
Preparing for battle and asserting dominance.

The chin creep up super slow like
Approaching situations with a calm and collected demeanor.

Pop off the trunk, drop the top on the slug
Getting ready for action and confronting obstacles with force.

(Hang the AK, h-hang the AK) bitch, recognize a king in your presence
Reinforcing the importance of recognizing and respecting one's success and greatness.
