Recognition Lyrics

It means nothing to me

All the recognition

People are not recognizing the quality of who I am

They are recognizing the usefulness that I am to them

Only that part gets recognition

The quality of what I am

Only a handful of people will recognize that

The rest will not even know what the hell it is

If you got your recognition

Would run with it and go

If you got your recognition

Would it just make you want more

If you got your recognition

Could you navigate the slopes

If you got your recognition

Could you ever be alone

If you feel like you don't have any time now

Wait until its endless shows and you out pleasing them crowds

That's how it goes when success is based on selling out

You'll see what the rise does when you end up in the ground because

What goes up

Must come down

What goes up

Must come down

If you got your recognition

Would run with it and go

If you got your recognition

Would it just make you want more

If you got your recognition

Could you navigate the slopes

If you got your recognition

Could you ever be alone

Can't lie this feel like my choice

Like I hold myself back just enough

Tough love to keep me in check yeah

This feel like my choice

I mean I already think about trying to get away

Already feeling like the end is any day

I don't even look forward to a long life

I just hope I die a martyr and they all stay true

Because no matter when I go

I know they'll say it's too soon

If you listen to the music real close, I'm giving clues

I pleaded with my mind but no compromise or truce

I been fighting once again but this the battle that I lose

If you feel it's valuable

Then don't bother about other people's recognition

If you got your recognition

Would run with it and go

If you got your recognition

Would it just make you want more

If you got your recognition

Could you navigate the slopes

If you got your recognition

Could you ever be alone

You might get that recognition

Can you live with it though

The decisions that were made

To take you down that road

All the people left behind

That did their best to make it so

You might get that recognition

Can you live with it though

The psychological constructs of a far off mind

I didn't really plan this or anything

It just kind of came together

I've been trying to sort some stuff out

I've been going through a really rough time

I don't really let anybody see that

So I guess this is kind of my way of letting you in

Because I know if you listening you know

That this is probably the most important thing to me

But, I'm not

I'm not sure if it's enough

Regardless, thank you
