Respect

I respect a man raisin' his kids all on his own

I respect a man who makes sure he takes care of home

You gotta respect a man with good judgment

'Cause I'll be damned if someone's takin' care of my kids

And I respect a man who treats his woman like a queen

I know you're not perfect, you ain't gotta be so mean

No matter how strong she is for a woman

A man should never attempt to lay his hands on her

There's more to life than what happens on your block

Just treat your women right and hold 'em at the top

Gotta raise these kids and teach 'em, never, don't ya stop

You ain't no man to me if you let your family starve, oh

Got no respect for them dudes who hit they women

Got no respect for the fools that leave they children

I just wanna take care of my family

Got no respect if you ain't tryna do the right thing

Got no respect for them dudes who hit they women

Got no respect for the fools who leave they children

I just wanna take care of my family

Got no respect if you ain't tryna do the right thing

I respect the type of girl that tries to love a man

With many flaws and broken laws, but still, he stands

The kinda girl who turns a boy into a man

The kinda girl who turns a flop into a plan

No respect for those who walk through life just askin' you

What you can do for them, but still, they hate on you

It don't take no man to make that, baby

But yes, it takes a man to raise that baby

There's more to life than what happens on your block

Just treat your women right and hold 'em at the top

Gotta raise these kids and teach 'em, never, don't ya stop

You ain't no man to me if you let your family starve, oh

Got no respect for them dudes who hit they women

Got no respect for the fools who leave they children

I just wanna take care of my family

Got no respect if you ain't tryna do the right thing

Got no respect for them dudes who hit they women

Got no respect for the fools who leave they children

I just wanna take care of my family

Got no respect if you ain't tryna do the right thing

Fellas, we gotta make a change

In the way that we treat our women and our children, yes we do

Hope that there's a better day

Look ahead to the sky

If you want a change, need a change

See all that money, no, it don't really mean a thing

If you can't show some love to the ones connected by your blood

'Cause in the end, all that matters is your wife and your kids, oh yeah

Got no respect for them dudes who hit they women

Got no respect for the fools who leave they children

I just wanna take care of my family

Got no respect if you ain't tryna do the right thing

Got no respect for them dudes who hit they women

Got no respect for the fools who leave they children

I just wanna take care of my family

Got no respect if you ain't tryna do the right thing

Got no respect for them dudes who hit they women

Got no respect for the fools who leave they children

I just wanna take care of my family

Got no respect if you ain't tryna do the right thing

Got no respect for them dudes who hit they women

Got no respect for the fools who leave they children

I just wanna take care of my family

Got no respect if you ain't tryna do the right thing
