Colt Liles - Recognition Lyrics

Yeah, yeah
One take wonder, let's go
The name is Colt Liles
The city never looked out for me
But I'm still here
Yeah, the city never looked out for me
They just wanted the competition
I'm reaching out to everybody offering my services free of charge just to get my recognition
Y'all played yourselves
Look I'm grown now and I can reach top shelves
I make it on my own, I don't need no man's help
They still lurk so I stay safe and stay by the stealth
Practice patience, keep stacking on my wealth, huh
I make it up my mountain, it's lonely here
I'm almost afraid to admit, it kinda feels like home
These traumatic times never level out in the dome
From registered sex offenders, to the ones that call the shots
Next thing you know someone ends up dead
And to them goons breaking in and putting a gun to my head
Threatening everything I love
Talking about them streets is your only means
Collecting money buying everything
Except them assets for yourself, you like the logos and the leans.
I ain't talking real estate, but it takes much more to rip through the seams
Fill up your cup, but missing all your dreams
You look cool, just tryna fit the scenes
But I swear, there's really much more to what this all means
I lost two best friends growing up and I don't wanna lose another
I got angels on my back, them two and my mother
I reach out my hands to anyone else that needs it
Sometimes in life we really need each other
And someones else's touch is what completes it
Just thank God I found my source, thank you Jesus
Just thank God I found my source, thank you Jesus
Just give it all to him for picking up the pieces
All I need
Thank y'all for listening
