Respect Yourself

If you disrespect everybody that you run into

How in the world do you think anybody's gonna respect you?

If you don't give a damn about the man with the Bible in his hand

Let me tell you

Just get out the way and let the gentleman do his thing

You the kind of gentleman wants 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

Do you hear me?

You're walking around thinking that the

World owes you something 'cause you're here

You going out the world backwards

Like you did when you first come here

You talk about the president won't stop air pollution

Let me tell you one thing

Put your hand over your mouth when

You cough, that will help the solution

Yes it will

Well you cuss around folks when you don't even know their name

And then you dumb enough to think that will make you a big old man

Respect yourself

Respect yourself

If you don't respect yourself

Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot

Respect yourself

Respect yourself

Respect yourself

You got to respect yourself

Respect your sister

Respect your brother

Respect your mother

Respect your father

Respect yourself

Respect yourself

Respect your neighbor

Respect yourself

Respect your children

Respect your children

Respect one another
