Respect |
| Yeah, Pete Philly and Perquisite |
| The Mindstate venture |
| This music aint for everybody |
| This music is for you |
| Look out, they’ll take your sh* |
| Ready to break your sh* |
| Take to spend more and get some sh* |
| Move over, another hostile takeover |
| As the world turns the world turns over |
| F* ya’ll, me first has become the motto |
| Whether you’re white, black, Hispanic or mulatto |
| And it’s only because we follow our leaders |
| They be hollow and won’t respect us either |
| It’s really hard to swallow |
| Though bet you don’t hear me though |
| Probably even fearing so |
| You’d do anything to go and buy that new stereo |
| And ever since the currency has batled all the courtesy of live and let live or |
| live and let be |
| We’ve become disconnected, disrespected |
| And it’s affected our whole state of being now |
| Take a wrong turn and you’ll get shot |
| Like we ignorant and forgot that life is all we got man |
| Chorus: |
| Respect, we check, we connect |
| We respect eachother like a brother or a marter |
| If there’s no respect, then why even bother? |
| Respect, we check, we connect |
| We respect eachother like our mother and our father |
| If there’s no respect, then why even bother? |
| Every once in a while |
| I look out of my window and go off to a place that my old folks have showed |
| I aint never been there before |
| But they told me enough about it for me not to doubt it |
| Go back to reality, become a casualty of the ratrace |
| Everything is a fastpaced |
| And while the cats chase |
| The mice they be running around |
| And the cats they be hunting them down |
| Gunning them down by law if they find you the enemy |
| And if they do they’ll fuck you up relentlessly |
| Endless, the evel goes on |
| But every trend’s gotta end |
| So I remain strong and hopeful |
| Even when the try to keep me in a chokehold, I know my hope groes It’s time for |
| an intermission from all of these greed |
| Of all these corporations taking way more than they need |
| Chorus: |
| Respect, we check, we connect |
| We respect eachother like a brother or a marter |
| If there’s no respect, then why even bother? |
| Respect, we check, we connect |
| We respect eachother like our mother and our father |
| If there’s no respect, then why even bother? |
| At the end of the day it’s all about what kinda world you wanne live in |
| What kinda mindstate you wanne be in |
| See past the bullshh and get into it |
| Respect, connect, let’s build |
