Respectful yourself
Oh, oh, oh, oh, respect yourself
You need to
Respect yourself
Oh, oh, oh
Respect yourself
Respect yourself, oh yeah
If you disrespect everybody that
Your running to
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
How in the world do you
Think anybody's gonna respect you
(oh, oh)
If you don't give heck about the man
The bible in his hand
Just get out the way and let the
Gentleman do his thangs
(ah, ah)
Your the kind of gentleman
That want everything
Your way
(huh) oh yeah
Take the sheet off your
Face boy
(yeah)
It's a brand new day
[Chorus]
Oh you walk around thinking
That the world owes you something
Cause you're here
(yeah) you're
Going out the world backward like
Ya did when you first came here
(Say well) well
You talk about the president
Won't stop the air pollution
(Won't stop) no, no, no
Just put ya hand on ya mouth that
Help the solution
(yeah)
Oh, you cuss around women folk
And don't even know their name
(You don't know) you don't even know
Their name
And dumb enough to think that'll
A make you a bigger man,
(big-o-man)
[Chorus]
If you don't respect yourself
Then ain't nobody gonna give a big
Cahoot, oh, oh, oh
