If you disrespect everybody nThat you run into nHow in the world do you think nAnybody sposed to respect you nnIf you don't give a heck about nThe man with a bible in his hand nJust get out the way and let nThe gentleman do his thing nnyou're the kind of gentleman nThat wants everything their way nTake the sheet off yur face boy nIts a brand new day nn[Chorus] nRespect yourself nRespect yourself nIf you don't respect yourself nain't nobody gonna give a good nCa-hoot na na na oh oh nRespect yourself nnIf you're walking around thinking nThat the world owes you something n'Cause you're here nYou're going out the world backward nnLike you did when you first came here nKeep talking about the president nwon't stop air pollution nPut your hand over your mouth nnWhen you cough nThat'll help the solution nnYou cuss around women folk nYou don't even know their name nThen you're dumb enough to think nThat it makes you a big ol man nn[Chorus]
