Respect Yourself |
| If you disrespect anybody |
| That you run into |
| How in the world do you think |
| Anybody’s s’pose 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 |
| Now you’re the kind of gentleman |
| That want everything your way |
| Take the sheet off your face, boy |
| It’s a brand new day |
| Respect yourself |
| Respect yourself |
| But if you don’t respect yourself |
| Ain’t nobody gonna give a good cahoot |
| Respect yourself |
| Come on, respect yourself |
| If you’re walkin' 'round thinking |
| That the world owes you something 'cause you’re here |
| Well, you goin' out the world backwards |
| Like you did when you first come here |
| Keep talkin' 'bout the president |
| It won’t stop air pollution |
| Put your hand o’er your mouth |
| When you cough that’ll help the solution, yes it will |
| You curse around women |
| And you don’t even know their names |
| Then you’re dumb enough to think |
| It’ll make you a big ol' man |
| Respect yourself |
| Respect yourself |
| If you don’t respect yourself |
| Ain’t nobody gonna give a good cahoot |
| Respect yourself |
| Come on, respect yourself |
| If you don’t respect yourself |
| Ain’t nobody gonna give a good cahoot |
| Respect yourself |
| Come on, respect yourself |
| If you don’t respect yourself |
| Ain’t nobody gonna give a good cahoot |
| Respect yourself |
| Well, well, respect yourself |
| Come on, respect yourself |
| Come on, respect yourself |
| Respect yourself |
| Come on, respect yourself |
| Come on, respect yourself |
| I said, respect yourself |
| Respect yourself |
| Come on, respect yourself |
