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