Recognition - Loc Saint

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

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

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 fuck 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

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

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

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

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

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

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 fucking 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-
