Respect yourself, respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na
With the Bible in his hand
If you're walking 'round
Owes you something
It's a brand new day
The world backwards
Respect yourself, respect yourself
When you cough, that'll help the solution
'Cause you're here
You goin' out
If you don't respect yourself
Won't stop evolution
And let the gentleman do his thing
Put your hand on your mouth
Like you did
And you don't even know their names
When you first come here
Oh, you cuss around women
That want everything your way
Just get out the way
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na
That'll make you a big ol man
Respect yourself, respect yourself
Think'n that the world
If you don't give a heck 'bout the man
Respect yourself, respect yourself
Keep talkin' 'bout the president
And you dumb enough to think
Anybody's s'posed to respect you
You the kind of gentleman
Take the sheet off your face, boy
How in the world do you think
