[Intro: Recognize Ali]
Smoke right on, n***a. Tell ‘em, man. Uh, uh. Recognize, Sultan Mir. Too Visible to See, my brother. n***as can't f** with us, man. We untouchable, my n***a. Uh, yo
[Verse 1: Recognize Ali]
You rappers not on my level. I'm higher than treble
My mind is of metal. b**h, I came from the ghetto
Champagne and a rello, the pain of a saddle, the reign of a rebel
You soft as a Jell-O. Meet the saints and the Devil
Words keep connecting like Lego in a room full of echoes
Shout out to [?] Costello. My Timberlands still yellow
b**h, I'll ball like Carmelo, play the front like I'm Jekyll
You're looking through my barrel. I'm bringing down your Tower of Babel
Hello. n***a, like Dumelo, I get p**y
Close to the edge, I don't think you should try to push me
My goons keep it raw—n***a, f** sushi
[They shoot?] sh**. You'll get chopped like a f**ing bushmeat
This jungle is predatory. I keep a semi on me
Matching my name after you see Gunz—you could call me Cory
Emcees claiming rappers wack. sh**, you all bore me
f** n***as. Some of y'all in the same category
Sorry. Y'all don't impress me with your wordplay
Weak punchlines, you're faker than your Hermès
Hoes get treated in the worst way
Stalk the eagle just to find where the birds lay
I'll deal all you f**ing rappers [some more hair?]
You could step up and lose both legs
What's a rookie to a vet? Went from rookie
To the best. Son, I'm loony with the TEC
You'll get chest-out or lose half of your chest
You're still a b**h to me until I see what's in your skirt
Word, I'll go hard in this street monopoly
I'm probably the nicest emcee after Chris Wallace be
My philosophy's possibly the finest since Socrates'
sh** on your democracy, couldn't conform to your policies
Mouth versus gun. You know I spit darts, n***a
Tested the waters. Now I'll swim with the sharks, n***a
I could see through your façade, n***a
Waiting in the dark so you could stab me through the heart, n***a
Before [black avenue mob?], I was k**ing y'all
I'm the kid from Shaolin with sk**s from [Elián's?]
Go on your knees, bow before the renaissance
Find me in Greenfield—GF is the signature
Cop said, “I need you on my team, black star”
The lines godly, sipping Henny in the bathtub
I'll rep Sun Cycle—shout out to C-Rayz
Then told you n***as, “I'm bringing that heat wave”
Which is why they call me a renegade
Who said the son/Sun can't shine on a “Rainy Day”?
[Wreak all havocs in my season?]. Join the stomp, n***a
Some motherf**er who hate us, that can't cope with us
Motherf**ers
