Respect
When you flash that badge
You want everyone to shiver
When you flash that badge
You want everyone to worship you
I got no time to worship humankind
I only worship the Almighty (the Almighty)
Through His prophets I have learned
To give respect to everything He created
I give love to those who give me love
Love to those who give me war
I love those who hate me
I bless even those who curse me, yeah
I give love (love) to those who love me
Give love (love) to those who give me war
I love (love) those who hate me
I bless (bless) even those who curse me, yeah
C'mon show me respect
I got to see some respect
Show me, show me, show me respect
I got to, got to see some respect
Show me, show me, show me respect
You could be the president (president)
You could be his deputy (deputy)
You don't even have to know my political affiliation
You don't even have to know my religious affiliation
Respect me for who I am and not what I am
Nobody even cares about your dollars
Nobody even cares about your bling-bling (your bling-bling)
Give love (love) to those who give you love
Love (love) to those who give you war
Give love (love) to those who hate you
Bless (bless) even those who curse you
Give love to those who love you
Love to those who give you war
Love to those who hate you
Bless even those who curse you, yeah
Give me respect
I wanna see some respect
Gimme, gimme, gimme, respect
Show me, show me, show me, show me respect
Gimme, gimme, gimme... (respect)
Give me respect
I wanna see some respect
Gimme, gimme, gimme respect
Show me, show me, show me, show me respect
I wanna see some respect
Gimme, gimme, gimme respect
Show me, show me, show me, show me respect
You want everyone to shiver
When you flash that badge
You want everyone to worship you
I got no time to worship humankind
I only worship the Almighty (the Almighty)
Through His prophets I have learned
To give respect to everything He created
I give love to those who give me love
Love to those who give me war
I love those who hate me
I bless even those who curse me, yeah
I give love (love) to those who love me
Give love (love) to those who give me war
I love (love) those who hate me
I bless (bless) even those who curse me, yeah
C'mon show me respect
I got to see some respect
Show me, show me, show me respect
I got to, got to see some respect
Show me, show me, show me respect
