Recognize
WestBam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hypnotize, oversize,
Emphasize, socialize,
Analyze, Recognize.
I'm glad you realize. (Realize)
I'm glad you recognize. (Recognize)

Fertilize, energize,
Brutalize, circumcise,
Paralyze, Advertise.
I'm glad you realize. (Realize)
I'm glad you recognize. (Recognize)

This is the sound,
The sound, the sound, the sound.
This is the sound,
the sound for the underground.

Mesmerize, hypnotize,
Traumatize, dramatize,
Voodorize, humilized.
I'm glad you realize. (Realize)
I'm glad you recognize. (Recognize)

Hypnotize, oversize,
Emphasize, socialize,
Analyze, Recognize.
I'm glad you realize. (Realize)
I'm glad you recognize. (Recognize)

[5x]




This is the sound,
the sound for the underground.
