Respect

Category: Commentary/Editorial || By Submitted Report



If you disrespect anybody
That you run into
How in the world do you think
Anybody's supposed to respect you?

If you don't give a heck 'bout the man
With the Bible in his hand,
Just get out the way
And let the gentleman do his thing.

You're the kind of gentleman
That wants everything your way
Take the sheet off your face, boy
It's a brand new day

If you're walking 'round thinking that the world
Owes you something 'cause you're here
You goin' out the world backwards
Like you did when you first come here

Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot about you

--- Luther Ingram and Mack Rice, "Respect Yourself"
