[Intro: Recognize Ali]
Uh. To the gods. Uh. Peace to the gods, yo. Sultan, what up? Recognize
[Verse 1: Recognize Ali]
Yo, y'all ain't ready though. I'm spitting that machete flow
Heavy-dose red and blue pills—b**h, I'm selling those
Heaven knows I'm hella dope. Lyrics sharp as machete. Ho
Your girlie groan, might have gone. f** from hitting with your petty flows
I'm very cold like Russian mobs and Eskimos
Gifted embryo and I'll flash like a cameo
Hip hop ain't looking bright—we're here to change the whole scenario
If you don't Recognize Ali, then you barely know
Real sh**, ill sh**. Get your grill shift
Your favorite seed here's smoked like a grilled fish
Only a handful of n***as that I could build with
God's son don't k** soloists—only k** cliques
Check my colorful, fly rhymes by design of the fine dime
Show my nana how much I love her if I could rewind time
Uh. Queen feel elaborate anesthesia
Recognize, Sultan Mir, and the god Planet Asia
What?

[Verse 2: Planet Asia]
My war chant is magic mantra, manipulate matter
My alchemy could build a fortress over many balconies
There ain't no stopping me from reaching goals like a soccer league
That's even if you run with Illuminati or buy from me
Catch me hometown, indo-copping
At the lot like when that Benzo dropping. Uh
The fly genie in the beanie. Salute me when you see me
I crucify the cowards like varsity gives to peewees
Your flow's TV. Mines infect like TB
My international meetings is Islamic greetings
Salaam speech. I wonder what the distance my rhymes reach
My intellect is that of Marcus Garvey in his prime, teaching
Musically, we murder y'all
The Elohim eyes and ears have seen and heard it all
[?] Ali Baba, Shambhala clock
[?] follow by the dollar but I don't follow

[Verse 3: Recognize Ali]
Sensible retard spit ill bars. I'm sick, y'all
Lines pharaoh world design—I'm Christian Dior
Get peed on like s**ual intercourse with three who*es
Defeat all—you should know how to act when you see God
Nighttime, some pain is unbearable, so we'll bruise a lot
Only time that I'm on my knees is when I'm doing Salaat
My mind is gorgeous, bourgeois, control orbits
Forfeit. [?], I'll paint you a fine portrait
[Fear-of-God sh**, boar sh**?], fly horses
My lordship showing forges inside of my fortress
King Arthur with a Cali burn from the Avalon
Behold, we own every show that we land upon
A Viking that rhymes knowledge from Islamic books
You common crooks, you'll fry like when the salami cook
I'm Malcolm X with a rifle. My sh** is some recital
Planet Asia my idol—I could swear by the Bible
What?
