Recognition Lyrics

[Intro]
How come this kid does not have a million dollars
How does this kid not have a million dollars
Jesus, listen welcome back to the show ladies and gentlemen this is Detroit unplugged
Im sorry gang I was rockin' out that's my kind of hip hop
That's the type of shit that gets me going
Welcome to the show, Loc Saint here

[Chorus]
A little recognition is all I want / Just a little recognition is all that I need / A little recognition is all I want / Just a little recognition is all that I need / Microphone check one, two can you hear me now

[Verse 1]
For 22 years I been working hard at this craft / And I put everything I got inside to fall in my tracks / Blood, sweat, and tears it's a gift and here's a livin', a hundred racks / Not to mention scrapin da soul while my energy thundercracks / And I found a way they can do good I manipulate the sounds / With an innovators spirit I'll demonstrate for you now / Why, nobody in da business catching onto my drift / The fans asking me what the f*ck is goin on with this shit / They say Im sick and if I really gotta give it to em then I gotta give it to em quick / And Im frustrated as hell but Im wonderin' what's the jist / Kinda pissed that'd be an understatement let me suggest / If it's talent underrated then recognition it gets

[Bridge]
They don't even re-recognize me / What's wrong with the industry it 's like they don't even like me / They don't acknowledge my existence / Even though I been at it for 22 years of resistance

[Chorus]
A little recognition is all I want / Just a little recognition is all that I need / A little recognition is all I want / Just a little recognition is all that I need / Microphone check one, two can you hear me now

[Verse 2]
Recognize the work and what it took to write the verse and hook to find the perks / immerse crooks that'll shook the Loc of it / words I wrote to get heard the most what are Locs differed to ghosts / They gotta be heated when I be thinkin about it cause all we do is we abuse this fuel / Defeated without it so Ima get it gotta get it if you ready to get it I already hit it for the dual / Loaded automatic cause I've had it with the static so I gotta come at it a with the trigga tongue tool / Im in a panic and I wonder will the music ever be heard (not likely) / The fans erratic and everybody has had it that's absurd (they don't like me) / Whatever, what it is, what it might be, what it look like, what it sound like nightly / No recognition for LSM and it's trifling / When Detroit unplugs and I should've been a millionaire for what Im writing / It sickens me wickedly they predictin' vindictimy / Would rather they take a swing at my dome with the hardest of hickory [Bridge]
They don't even re-recognize me / What's wrong with the industry it 's like they don't even like me / They don't acknowledge my existence / Even though I been at it for 22 years of resistance

[Chorus]
A little recognition is all I want / Just a little recognition is all that I need / A little recognition is all I want / Just a little recognition is all that I need / Microphone check one, two can you hear me now

[Outro]
I like a lot of hip-hop there's some pieces I like better than others
I gotta tell ya with, with all honesty
This is his best shit I've heard in a long time
Im an MC, I look at the spit, I look at the presentation
I look at this spit, this kid's spit is very pristine
His application is price f*cking high
He shows great brains and great universe reality
Make sure we support Loc and everything that he does man
How come this kid does not have a million dollars as of-
