Akeelah & The Bee movie - Respect Yourself lyrics
rate meSong by The Staple Singers<br /><br>
If you disrespect anybody that you run in to<br>
How in the world do you think anybody's s'posed to respect you<br>
If you don't give a heck 'bout the man with the bible in his hand<br>
Just get out the way, and let the gentleman do his thing<br>
You the kind of gentleman that want everything your way<br>
Take the sheet off your face, boy, it's a brand new day<br>
<br>
Respect yourself, respect yourself<br>
If you don't respect yourself<br>
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na<br>
Respect yourself, respect yourself<br>
<br>
If you're walking 'round think'n that the world owes you something cause<br>
You're here you goin' out the world backwards like you did when you<br>
Put your hand on your mouth when you cough, that'll help the solution<br>
Oh, you cuss around women and you don't even know their names and you<br>
Dumb enough to think that'll make you a big ol man<br>
<br>
