Respect Yourself
by Staple Singers

if you disrespect anybody that you run in to
how in the world do you think anybodys sposed to respect
you
if you dont give a heck bout the man with the bible in his
hand
just get out the way, and let the gentleman do his
thing
you the kind of gentleman that want everything your
way
take the sheet off your face, boy, its a brand new day
respect yourself, respect yourself
if you dont respect yourself
aint nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na
respect yourself, respect yourself
if youre walking round thinkn that the world owes you
something cause
youre here you goin out the world backwards like you did
when you
first come here keep talkin bout the president, wont stop
evolution
put your hand on your mouth when you cough, thatll help the
solution
oh, you cuss around women and you dont even know their
names and you
dumb enough to think thatll make you a big ol man
