If you disrespect everybody
that you run in to
How the world
do you think anybody's
Suposed to respect you
If you don't
give a heck 'bout the man
With the bible in his hand
Then just get out the way
and let the gentleman do his thing
You 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
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna
give a good cahoot
Respect yourself
respect yourself
If you're walking 'round
thinking that the world
owes you something
'cause you're here
you goin' out the world
Backwards like you did when you
First come here
Keep talkin' 'bout the president
won't stop air pollution
Put your hand on your mouth
when you cough
That'll help the solution
And you cuss around women
And you don't even know their names
And you 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
respect yourself
Respect yourself
respect yourself
Respect yourself
respect yourself
Respect yourself
