If you disrespect everybody
that you run into
How in the world do you think
anybody supposed
to respect you
If you don't give a heck about
the man with a bible
in his hand
Just get out the way and let
the gentleman do his thing
You're the kind of gentleman
that wants everythin'
their way
Take the sheet
off your face boy
it's a brand new day
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself
ain't nobody gonna
give a good hoot
na na na oh oh
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
If you're walkin'
around thinkin' that
the world owes you somethin'
'cause you're here
You're goin' out
the world backwards
like you did
when you first came here
Keep talkin' about
the president
He won't stop air pollution
Put your hand
over your mouth
when you cough
That'll help the solution
You cuss around women
but you don't even
know their name
Then you're dumb
enough to think
that it makes you
a big ole man
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself
ain't nobody gonna
give a good hoot
na na na oh oh
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
You better respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
