Lyrics
(pimped out instrumental...M Bless)
(dat mos def Black on both sides dope beat)
Verse1:
if U act disrepectful you'll receive the same treatment
think of the attitude you remain up on the streets with
Stay decent cause what goes around comes back
dont laugh at the low-class, they'll soon get they life back on track
while yours turn whack with no time for recouporation
cause your life remained the same while they upgraded applications
between you crying and them talking a strong affiliation
from them your taking blazings no need for interpretations
ya herbs will face it when U dish it and can't receive
tried to turn the shoulder BUT he turned it back and caused you greive
thought U could talk shit with no consequence ..thats sumthin I cant believe
U want respect with out giving it out .(pause) nigga please!
ya livin in doubt think about if the tables were turned
U now would know that not an ounce of respects being earned
the lesson is learned just think about all repercoutions
take a strong look at just who it is your cussin
in the long or near future at you they be bussin
respect who and whats around you or your life is worth nuttin
Chorus (2x):
U gotta give respect to get respect
I agree
U gotta get respect to give respect
feel me
U gotta make sure U coming correct
just like D
To get that
R E S P E C T (spell it out)
verse2:
feel me when I say respect takes strong effort
all along U talk shit making em feel lesser
for real you the aggressor BUT in the long run they the successor
in the short run you life is a blur
wanting peeps to look up to you BUT never showed your gratitude
attitudes change when they think back U treated them crude
brewed and boiled tempers now U want to stand and be admirored
in a short span closed friends realized/ bad shit transpired
conspired word got around fast like it was wired
your lifes expired cause U cant extinguish the lit fire
your click's higher leaving you back in a trail of dirt
a tale revert to the previous state with no prevail
the flow of your life turn bumpy like the book of braile
to leave out the details your life turned from vibrant to pail
unripe to stail, healthy to ail, dawg your life is a fail-
YER get hurt when no messages in your email berrrrr
a cold feeling comes over your soul
I've seen it happen so much times ..the stories so much years old
Chorus (2x):
U gotta give respect to get respect
I agree
U gotta get respect to give respect
feel me
U gotta make sure U coming correct
just like D
To get that
R E S P E C T (spell it out)
verse3:
what happend to friendly neighbours I think that shits changed/
wit me They aint said a word once I reached a certain age/
yet they get in rage when you walk with a limp swagger/
they get angered the type status of dashing a dagger/
spur of the moment I say wadup with no response.../
then U got the same aquantences talkin shit to your moms/
I see you rocking thongs tight pants wit bongs in the pocket/
that aint my business so I'm quick to put it past my eye socket/
I respect peoples privacy and let em live up they life/
U aint gotta admiror me BUT you will pay the price/
the same type trife treatment will come right back in you grill/
I'll be laughing for real n your whack ass wont come back to my ville/
I'm nagging you still, U now know how that makes you feel/
Dax raised the bill and U cant afford to go through the same drill/
U used to put people through hell like they was living in cells /
dawg just do unto others that you would want done to yourself/
Chorus (2x):
U gotta give respect to get respect
I agree
U gotta get respect to give respect
feel me
U gotta make sure U coming correct
just like D
To get that
R E S P E C T (spell it out)
