If you disrespect everybody 
 
 That you run into 
 
 How in the world do you think 
 
 Anybody sposed to respect you 
 
 If you dont give a heck about 
 
 The man with a bible in his hand 
 
 Just get out the way and let 
 
 The gentleman do his thing 
 
  
  Youre the kind of gentleman 
 
 That wants everything their way 
 
 Take the sheet off yur face boy 
 
 Its a brand new day 
  
 
 Chorus 
 
 Respect yourself 
 
 Respect yourself 
 
 If you dont respect yourself 
 
 Aint nobody gonna give a good 
 
 Ca-hoot na na na oh oh 
 
 Respect yourself 
  
 
 If youre walking around thinking 
 
 That the world owes you something 
 
 Cause youre here 
 
 Youre going out the world backward 
 
 Like you did when you first came here 
 
 Keep talking about the president 
 
 Wont stop air pollution 
 
 Put your hand over your mouth 
 
 When you cough 
 
 Thatll help the solution 
  
 
 You cuss around women folk 
 
 You dont even know their name 
 
 Then youre dumb enough to think 
 
 That it makes you a big ol man 
  
 
 Chorus
 
 Respect yourself 
 
 Respect yourself 
 
 If you dont respect yourself 
 
 Aint nobody gonna give a good 
 
 Ca-hoot na na na oh oh 
 
 Respect yourself
