If you disrespect everybody
|
That you run into
|
How in the world do you think
|
Anybody's supposed to respect you?
|
|
If you don't give a heck
|
About 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 [?]
|
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
|
Respect yourself, respect yourself
|
|
If you're walking 'round thinkin'
|
That the world owes you something
|
'Cause you're [?]
|
You goin' out the world backwards
|
Like your day when you first come here
|
|
You keep on talking 'bout the President
|
You won't stop at pollution, no
|
Put your hand on your mouth when you cough
|
That'll help the solution
|
|
Oh, you cuss around women
|
For you don't even know their names, no
|
And you're dumb enough to think
|
That'll make you a big old man, oh
|
|
Respect yourself, ah yeah
|
You ought to respect yourself, yeah
|
If you don't respect yourself
|
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot
|
Respect yourself, respect yourself, yeah
|
Respect yourself, yeah, respect yourself
|
|
What's happening to the world, yeah?
|
Nobody respects themselves
|
You ought to respect your name
|
You ought to respect yourself, respect yourself
|
Respect yourself, respect yourself
|
|
