If you disrespect anybody that you run into
How in the world do you think
Anybody's s'posed to respect you?
If you don't give a heck about the man
With the Bible in his hand, yo
Just get out the way
And let the gentleman do his thing
You the kind of gentleman
That want everything your way, yeah
Take the shit 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 (na-na-na-na, whoa, oh)
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
ย
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, yeah
Keep talkin' 'bout the president
Won't stop evolution
Put your hand on your mouth
When you cough, that'll help the solution
Oh, you cuss around women
And you don't even know their name, no
And you dumb enough to think
That'll make you a big ol' man, yeah
Respect yourself, yeah
Respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot (na-na-na-na, brother)
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Honey, respect yourself
Respect yourself
You oughta, you oughta respect yourself
