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