Shout the ones from the west know what’s good with PND

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

Every night when I see you
Better recognize when I see you

In PARTYNEXTDOOR's song "Recognize" featuring Drake, the lyrics suggest that the singer is trying to win over a woman who is already involved with someone else. The chorus emphasizes that the woman has "niggas" (referring to her male companions), while the singer has "bitches" (referring to his female acquaintances). Despite this, the singer expresses his desire to be with her and turn up with her every night. He wants her to recognize his feelings and commitment towards the relationship, even though she may have other people around her.
The lyrics also touch on the materialistic and party culture that comes with the hip-hop lifestyle. The singer mentions hitting the club, checking his money, and rolling with skunk (marijuana) all day. He acknowledges that he may be tripping over money, but it doesn't necessarily matter because he wants the woman he desires to recognize him as her partner. Nevertheless, beneath the surface level, the lyrics are about a person struggling with their emotions in a relationship.
The verses by Drake, on the other hand, talk about his commitment to this woman and his willingness to go above and beyond for her. The lyrics mention a deep sense of loyalty felt by both parties, even if they are physically separated. Despite the woman's promiscuity, the singer believes in her and trusts her.
