if you disrespect anybody that you run in to
|
how in the world do you think anybody's s'posed 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 the kind of gentleman that want everything your way
|
take the sheet off your face, boy, it's a brand new day
|
respect yourself, respect yourself
|
if you don't respect yourself
|
ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na
|
respect yourself, respect yourself
|
if you're walking 'round think'n that the world owes you something cause
|
you're here you goin' out the world backwards like you did when you
|
first come here keep talkin' bout the president, won't stop air pollution
|
put your hand on your mouth when you cough, that'll help the solution
|
oh, you cuss around women and you don't even know their names then you're
|
dumb enough to think that'll make you a big ol man
