Recognize
PARTYNEXTDOOR (feat. Drake) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gotta get real again, gotta get real again

No, you got niggas and I got bitches
You got niggas and I got bitches
You got niggas and I got bitches
You got niggas, I want you

I want you, to turn up on me
Every night when I see you
Better recognize when I see you
I really want you, you, you
Hit the club for you, you, you
Light skin got you new, new, do
Even look like Lauren London too
I be tripping, but this money ain't
Hit the strip, check my money length
Sorry if my whip covered in dank
'Cause I be rolling with this skunk all day
All these bitches know that you're my nigga
I ain’t tripping off of any of your niggas
'Cause I don't care about your nigga, four nigga
Five nigga, six nigga, I ain’t give a shit about shit, nigga
(Girl I see you)

No, you got niggas and I got bitches
You got niggas and I got bitches
You got niggas and I got bitches
You got niggas, I want you

I want you, to turn up on me
Every night when I see you
Better recognize when I see you
I really want you, you, you
Hit the club for you, you, you
Lightskin got you new, new, do
Even look like Lauren London too
I be tripping, but this money ain't
Hit the strip, check my money length
Sorry if my whip covered in dank
'Cause I be rolling with this skunk all day
All these bitches know that you're my nigga
I ain’t tripping off of any of your niggas
'Cause I don't care about your nigga, four nigga
Five nigga, six nigga, I ain’t give a shit about shit, nigga (Girl I see you)

Girl you must be doing magic
Girl you must be doing magic
Turn fucking you to a habit
I could name a lot of things any other man
Won’t do for you, I do for you
When I hit you at your condo real late
You could see the city, you straight
Then cut like kids cake
I got that feeling for you, that feeling that you crave
Each time I do it for you, I make that bad pussy behave
Now pop it, bottles, the top is so open
The budget I’m Party so fuck it
The concierge told me my new baby looking like LeToya Luckett
Let my money get older and older and older and older like Regis
And she will not fuck with no broke niggas, no, nigga, only the realest

No, you got niggas and I got bitches
You got niggas and I got bitches
You got niggas and I got bitches
You got niggas, I want you

I want you, to turn up on me
Every night when I see you
Better recognize when I see you
I really want you, you, you
Hit the club for you, you, you
Light skin got you new, new, do
Even look like Lauren London too
I be tripping, but this money ain't
Hit the strip, check my money length
Sorry if my whip covered in dank
'Cause I be rolling with this skunk all day
All these bitches know that you're my nigga
I ain’t tripping off of any of your niggas
'Cause I don't care about your nigga, four nigga
Five nigga, six nigga, I ain’t give a shit about shit, nigga (Girl I see you)

Yeah shout the girls from the east who know what’s good with me
Shout the ones from the west know what’s good with PND
Stories of you and your girls is all I hear
Who do you fuck in the city when I’m not there?
(I owe you time) let’s plan something out when I come back from Europe
Swear I'm withholdin' my urges until you get this one-on-one shit like your name Katie Couric
I gotta get you those snow tires for your Mercedes, I’m glad you reminded me baby
All of these things slip my mind it’s been crazy
Bite on your shoulder I know that’s your favorite
Touching yourself to that video we made a month ago
You a freak and your cover’s blown
How you told me innocent and I told you I never know
Fuck it girl, I’m ‘bout whatever though
Yeah I guess a nigga just believe in you
And that’s proof for you
Could name a lot of things any other man won’t do for you
I’ll do it for you, that’s real

I want you, to turn up on me
Every night when I see you
Better recognize when I see you
I really want you, you, you
Hit the club for you, you, you
Light skin got you new, new, do
Even look like Lauren London too
I be tripping, but this money ain't
Hit the strip, check my money length
Sorry if my whip covered in dank
'Cause I be rolling with this skunk all day
All these bitches know that you're my nigga
I ain’t tripping off of any of your niggas




'Cause I don't care about your nigga, four nigga
Five nigga, six nigga, I ain’t give a shit about shit, nigga (Girl I see you)

Overall Meaning

The song "Recognize" is a collaboration between PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake. The lyrics are about a woman who is caught in a love triangle between PARTYNEXTDOOR and another man, but he is still professing his desire for her. The first line of the chorus, "Gotta get real again," is a call for the woman to recognize what she really wants and choose PARTYNEXTDOOR.


The rest of the song is filled with boasts about his money, clubbing, and women. He talks about how he hits the club for her and even references Lauren London's signature hairstyle. The second verse is especially raunchy, with explicit references to sex and masturbation.


Overall, the song can be seen as a typical R&B song about the struggles of love and lust, but it is striated with some questionable lyrics that shine a potentially problematic light on PARTYNEXTDOOR's views towards women.
