Intro (Respect Me) Lyrics

[ti:1 Intro (Respect Me) ft. Dj DeeMoney]

Intro

I cant understand

Why you dey fall my hand

They claim to be friends

But they just pretend

They want me to frown

They want me to drown

We started with love

They hating me now

I cant understand

Why you dey fall my hand

(You aint got to love me but you must respect me)

I don came, I don seen

I don conquered

Inspire the best around here

Im a monster

I rap and I sing to

Production is evil

A legend of sorts

A man of the people

I cam at a time when

There wasn’t no labels

No MTV, there wasn’t no cable

There wasn’t no airplay

For none of you locals

Wasn’t no auto tune

To fix your vocals

I was just sixteen, fresh outta high school

To start a carrier, my own wasn’t as simple

Moved to Lagos, uni is calling

Broke my heart when dad said no Boston

Off to UNILAG shock of a culture

Snakes and lions, hyenas and vultures

Wanted me to blend in but I aint a dumb one

Part of me kept saying I had to be someone

Important in this new shit hole

That I call home

The transform took time to become rome

So I stay focused I see that throne

That I will sit on when you all gone

And so I drew up a blue print

Yes I planned it

Power get to the top

Be demanded

How ama stack money

And how ama spend it

And how ** life of the story of me ending

I will create a new style with trybes men

I will start a label and organize it

I will sign a couple of artists and blow up

I will fight foes who do not show up

Nothing like him dog

Never compare me

I did it again and again and again clearly

I had one skill, one vision, one plan

One impossible task, given to one man

How ama get Alaba for distribution

How ama organize my institution

Many had come before looking for handouts

I took over, kicked the man out

Created a genre

Converted my people

From westernized sounds

And now we’re equal

To stay on top aint a piece of cake

Its been a long time coming can you relate

I cant understand

Why you dey fall my hand

They claim to be friends

But they just pretend

They want me to frown

They want me to drown

We started with love

They hating me now

I cant understand

Why you dey fall my hand

(You aint got to love me but you must respect me)

They want me to frown

They want me to drown

We started with love

They hating me now

They want me to frown

They want me to drown

We started with love

They hating me now

I cant understand

Why you dey fall my hand

They claim to be friends

But they just pretend

(You aint got to love me but you must respect me)
