Mobb Deep
Recognize & Realize

[Intro: Prodigy]
Extraordinary
Extraordinary
Yo (Alright)

[Verse 1: Big Noyd]
The trife life of livin' famous
Bustin' shots live, it's dangerous in midnight
We do it right in clear blue light
The trife life, livin rough, wearin' handcuffs like bracelets
25 to life he faced it
Got on the run and got wasted
Mad agony havin' me more vexed
Got me pullin' out TECS on opposite sex (Uh)
The cream got me fiend (Fiend), for masterville scheme (Scheme)
Like doin' drivebys in stretched limousines
I got tons of guns (Uh), my n***as on the run pack the nickel plated ones
Get the cheddar, however dunn, 'cause n***as got dreams
Painted king, the drug sling got they brain drained
Just to sling cocaine continously, seriously
My brain blunted the lye done it
We makin' hundreds that's all we wanted
To see my ill mean team seein' cream
The Infamous comin' outta Queens
Yo, check it, check it
[Verse 2: Prodigy]
Yo it's the P. me and N-O-Y-D
We put the cheddar togetha so we can double the OZ's
It grows like some family trees and beanstalks
Some hustlers, naturally born with street smarts
Yo Karate, it's you and Gotti, y'all lift the weight
Me and Noyd'll Gem Star it down on a plate
The Mobb n***as livin' wild inside of New York state
The five gates, if a n***a is shook just let him shake
While the coke back
Chef trip, cook a boulder over the shoulder
With the wonders with they hands in pot holders
Soloist get rolled over, rapper Noyd takin' over you crossed over, then you bucked in October
November, December, came out the hospital keyed up
Paralysed from your feet up now slow your speed up (Uh)

[Chorus: Big Noyd & Prodigy]
So recognize and realize, I'm not the n***a lied
On the side of me, Prodigy, on the strength of who he be
So recognize and realize, I'm not the n***a lied
B-I-G-N-O-Y-D, he rip it constantly

[Verse 3: Big Noyd]
I stay cool and cautious with extra sources my nine Taurus hit bosses, Leutnant, who's ever in it
Once the main man drop, I got it locked to take it all, why not?
Don't let that n***a Noyd get the drop
I'm comin' steady, heavy, ready to murder, pullin' triggers (Triggers)
Soon to be famous dangerous type of n***a
I'm type crucifix, definetly true to this
The natural born hustler lyricist Noyd finessin' it
Use to hustlin', tustlin', bustin' n***as wide open
No jokin' like Rakim, you must be smokin' (Uh)
To fuck around with this you try to compare, you didn't hear that n***a Noyd is extraordinar?
N***a, what
[Verse 4: Prodigy]
Pioneer this extra ordinary rap flow
Sneek peek my Mobb style, get clapped at your rap show
We formulate juxes, debatin' like some politicians
And come together like some coalitions in position (Wooh)
My team'll huddle, your scheme was too subtle
Our crews cross paths, your whole squad face get bubble
Lookin' for trouble, afraid so you found a couple
Me and rapper Noyd blastin' off like NASA space shuttle (Uh)
Prodigy my powers refined now they erupt in time
For climax you small cats what is you touchin'?
Too complex, your man got slapped just off of reflex
Learn from his mistake to avoid from being next
Holiday thugs occassionally act like thugs
Battery backs with Alkaline and Duracell mugs
Ayo, Noyd, these n***as must be on some powerful drugs (Crazy, son)
(Word up, word up)

[Chorus: Big Noyd & Prodigy]
So recognize and realize, I'm not the n***a lied
On the side of me, Prodigy, on the strength of who he be
So recognize and realize, I'm not the n***a lied
B-I-G-N-O-Y-D, he rip it constantly
So recognize and realize, I'm not the n***a lied
On the side of me, Prodigy, on the strength of who he be, uh
So recognize and realize, we ain't the n***as lied
The B-I-G-N-O-Y-D, he rip it constantly (Constantly)
[Outro: Big Noyd & Prodigy]
(Word up)
No doubt, nine pound, we get down, uh
(With rapper Noyd)
Prodigy on the side of me (With rapper Noyd)
Uh, uh (With rapper Noyd)
Prodigy (With rapper Noyd)
On the side of me
Prodigy, on the side of me
Yo, we out
