Yo, I'm sick of the lack of respect that I get, |
|
From these cats who think that they pose as a threat, |
|
When they don't even know me, |
|
Yet they try and put me to the test, |
|
Thinking their on top of me, 'cause they got a bigger chest, |
|
But I just sit back and let them guess, |
|
Half of wondering what I can do to 'em next, |
|
They don't know what to expect, |
|
I'm telling you now, it's not about success, |
|
It's a fact we've all been blessed from the man upstairs, |
|
But nobody cares, these people so quick to judge, |
|
Can't even walk the streets at night without being mugged, |
|
How can one fight turn out to homies getting slugged, |
|
It seems that we forget that he's watching us from above, |
|
Some dudes are heartless, that's why we have lost so many rap artists, |
|
It's garbage, they never think of thier sons and daughters, |
|
Now they got to grow without a father to love, |
|
God bless the memory of Tupac, Notorious, Jam Master J, and Buggs |

|
It's time that people started to show a little respect, |
|
We all love it but we all represent, |
|
We only have one life and we should live it to the end, |
|
We should all have the opportunity to do our best |
|
What's up with Hip Hop, it's like we gotta get props |
|
Dont give us props you get dropped |
|
It's a serious problem we got, |
|
When there's lack of respect |
|
Leads to death by gun shots |
|
It don't happen in Australia yet |
|
How long have we got? |
|
Before we all gotta be hardcore, when crews start wars, |
|
When beef jump off the beat, come to your streets and all, |
|
When peeps knock on your door and force to the floor, |
|
Put a gun in your mouth, blow your brains out all over the wall |
|
Cause we all want this respect, dont disrespect us, |
|
It's like we all gotta prove that we the best |
|
It just dont make sense, |
|
We all paranoid and stressed |
|
We aren't running from coppers, we run from each other instead, |
|
How long before an aussie MC dead, when an old friend |
|
Gets this crazy idea in his head like you trying to test, |
|
Pulls out his weapons and uses them, |
|
We gotta settle down before Hip Hip starts getting stupid man |
|

|
A little respect... |
|
A little respect... |
