Choose a track to play
These rappers ain't poppin
They just lucky they can pay to play
Feelin' like I'm Jordan the .45 will make them fade away
Hec get on the beat, this shit be bumpin' like an 808
Spittin' nothing but bars, I'm locked in, I guess I scared them straight
This is Big Gutter, why you haters chattin' through them dick suckers
I let my nuts hang, the golden rapper, I got big rubbers
Might let the magnum spit, my flow has been immaculate
The energy I bring will make these pussies feel inadequate
I was born in that ghetto where Brenda was havin' babies
Always been fly, my mama had the Audi and Mercedes
That's the Benz coupe, add a Benz truck and the Lex too
Always having motion, that's the type of shit that Hec do
I'm rappin' like the first of the month, the rent's due
If it's spooky now, I promise it get worse in a month
I'm poppin' it, it could be a uh, or shirts in the trunk
False alarm, that's just an engine, got my trunk in the front
Thirty-minute phone calls, come collect like a stamp
Keep the fire right beside you, light the room like a lamp
I got the people on my side, so I feel like the champ
And keep a guy on my line that's gon' click till it jam

Respect is earned and not given, hold on, wait, bruh, stop the beat
All these niggas pussy, can't none of these niggas fuck with me
Just to tell the truth, I'll give you demonstration, come and see
I'll buy one of you niggas, your whole crew like five a piece
Me and Hec was in them streets, damn, how they caught us with that heat
That boy ain't only catch the belt, that nigga caught some hands and feet
We come from where they serve them fiends, catch a charge like it's no thing
If you can rap, no R&B, close your mouth, you better not sing
And brodie want it, think that he gunnin, that boy been pushin' P's
I pull up in a new panoramic, that bitch beat up the street
Flowin' like it's back in the day, shout out to Lil Weezy
Rappin' shit ain't never been hard, I made this shit look easy
Whippin' Bentleys, buyin' presis stuntin
So these folks can see me blowing money fast, but I ain't Meechie
Something like Lil Jeezy
I just laid down this verse, I swear that I ain't even take no break
Nigga, I cut your fuckin' head off and I kick it to the grave
This shit get grimy over here, so be careful what you say
I come from where they raise them killers, and they teach you this that pay
One last message to you, you can go be them or go be great
So the choice is yours if the risk is there, you leaving it or taking it

And with all disrespect, I can't respect how you was livin
It really don't matter how hard you try to relate
You took the elevator, me I took the fire escape
And I can see it in your eyes, it's inside of your face
That your smile not authentic, you just hidin' the hate
And I don't really care if I'm the one providing the steaks
If my man's ever hungry, then I slide him a plate
And while we sittin' round the table, dividin' the cake
You tryna see the biggest slice of the pie you can take
You really gotta watch them guys, that's the signs of a snake
They come in all different colors and sizes and shapes
He mess around and get booked, then he side with the Jakes
And now a jury of your peers, is decidin' your fate
Your girl gettin' piped before you get inside of the gate
Cause in her mind, she don't see why she should wait
And this is how it go when you inside of the state
It ain't no if, ands, or buts, and I ain't tryna debate
I always try to give them the game, but it seem like they never learn
It ain't no do-overs, you don't get an extra turn
You signed up for this life, but never read the terms
You can't buy your reputation, respect is earned
Respect is earned and not given
Respect is earned and not given
Respect is earned and not given
And with all due respect, I can't respect how you was livin
Respect is earned and not given
Respect is earned and not given
Respect is earned and not given
And with all disrespect, I can't respect how you was livin
Respect is earned, not given, but some don't know the difference
It's action behind words, observe and pay attention
It's like everybody respect the money and violence
They ain't talkin' the street politics, you gotta keep quiet
If your morals is lookin' questionable, nobody respectin' you
Niggas turn you into a vegetable, you way too accessible, they gon' check you
The preacher in prayer's gon' have to bless you
And if you movin' scared, prepare for them to stretch you
Respect is more than just a word, it's a verb at the least
It be the main ones chattin' that be actually weak
Put him under pressure, fold, when you pass him the heat
He ain't ready to catch a body, don't lie through your teeth
And I don't care about the set you reppin
Be the first to testify when you fire the weapon
When you standin' on straight principles, you leave an impression
And I ain't one for the preachin, I'm just speakin' a message
Respect is earned, not given, Lord, could He forgive us
I'm lost with all the sinners, it costs to be a winner, of course
I keep my hand on that .45, it's business
I'ma take what I want, cause it ain't given
Respect is earned and not given
Respect is earned and not given
Respect is earned and not given
And with all due respect, I can't respect how you was livin
Respect is earned and not given
Respect is earned and not given
Respect is earned and not given

And with all disrespect, I can't respect how you was livin
Everybody know my steezy, and I know these niggas greasy
I find an opp grave, I get to dancin' like I'm Breezy
Blowin' money fast, might think I'm Meechie or I'm Jeezy
Streets is cold, man, I know some wankstas really movin' cheesy
I remember talkin' to Fernando about that triple beam
Wanna see a face cut and hear a nigga scream, God intervene
Searchin' for respect, it was a simple thing
I had to learn to be myself, and now myself is all I ever be
Man, we grew up hoppin' fences, not to mention walk with weapons
For protection, or aggression
This was natural selection
Loss of life is just a lesson
Count your days up with your blessings
Shared emotion with discretion
Just to stop my momma's stressin
I'm in the caddy, not a hearse
My character, you can't rehearse
Been hearin' stories about my family
In the field like Jalen Hurts
This stuff you can't believe, but I can make it up
This isn't Maybelline, this is pure dope
Like Medellin, my lines can make 'em fiend
I grew up bumpin Get Rich, so I'ma get rich
Ain't gonna die tryin, nigga, I'ma check this off my checklist
God on my necklace, so what was niggas thinkin
Don't try to check this, I'm really 'bout my Aretha Franklin
