If you disrespect everybody
How in the world do you think
anyone is going to respect you?
with the bottle in his hand
and let the gentleman do his thing
If you don't respect yourself
If you're walking down thinking
that the world owes you something
You're going out the world
like you did when you first got here
Keep talking about the president
won't stop a world pollution
Put your hands over your mouth
that will help a solution, yes, respect yourself,
If you don't respect yourself,
ain't nobody gonna give a hoot,
a hoot, na -na -na -na -na -na.
You curse around a woman and you
Don't even know their names
Then you're dumb enough to think
That'll make you a big, man, yes
You're the kind of person
Who wants everything your way
Just take the sheet off your face
It's a brand new day, yes
If you don't respect yourself,
ain't nobody gonna give a hoot,
hoot, hoot, na -na -na -na -na -na.
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a hoot, hoot
Na, na, na, na, na, respect yourself
Respect yourself, respect yourself,
gotta respect yourself now.
