Respect Lyrics

I can walk

I can talk

I can run

I can stop

I feel like a boss, the greatest of them all

Like I'm Morpheus

What is wrong with us

I can't state the obvious

My pride is in my esophagus, yeah

Are you with or against us

Don't think money will change us

I've been wealth hungry since age five

Learned a lot from my own failures

But it can't ruin my ego

Respect, where did that go

Made it out of the ghetto, now we'll see how the story goes yeah

First of all I'm grateful I'm still alive

Through all the COVID and bad things I face from time to time

I think I'm a zombie cause I'm half dead and half alive

Most of you don't understand me

Prolly 'cause you're not a stan of me or want to be

Rate your love for me on a scale of one to three

Most of you don't have the support or the respect for me

If you're not gonna support me then I don't wanna be your friend or your shoulder to cry to

Say that I've changed

Say that I'm spiteful

I'm not the one who lacks confidence and the one who's doubtful

People judge me all the time like I just flopped a concert

If you were in my shoes for a day, what would you do, ahh

I can walk

I can talk

I can run

I can stop

I feel like a boss, the greatest of them all

Like I'm Morpheus

What is wrong with us

I can't state the obvious

My pride is in my esophagus, yeah

Are you with or against us

Don't think money will change us

I've been wealth hungry since age five

Learned a lot from my own failures

But it can't ruin my ego

Respect, where did that go

Made it out of the ghetto, now we'll see how the story goes yeah

When you're about to be successful, people change

They befriend you

Make you think they actually care about you

When they don't

They just want a stepping stone

They're gonna use you, then forget you as soon as they hit the top

Your family or not, I don't care

If they are not with you, they are against you

That is the issue

The ones you expect to be down with you, they are not

Then strangers come to your rescue

Lend a hand and support you, fight your battles with you if they have to

Whether you're a trader, a rapper, a street vendor or a dealer

It doesn't matter, I salute you

Don't ever let anyone distract you from your hustle

'Cause the ones who hate you already hate themselves for being below you

I can walk

I can talk

I can run

I can stop

I feel like a boss, the greatest of them all

Like I'm Morpheus

What is wrong with us

I can't state the obvious

My pride is in my esophagus, yeah

Are you with or against us

Don't think money will change us

I've been wealth hungry since age five

Learned a lot from my own failures

But it can't ruin my ego

Respect, where did that go

Made it out of the ghetto, now we'll see how the story goes yeah
