Respect

[Verse 1]
Accusation, isolation, irritation, aggravation, manipulation, messed up situation
No! I’m not gonna take it anymore
No! I’m not gonna take it anymore
Slap me in the face, call me out as a disgrace
Expect to have a space in my life, even chase me
I’m not gonna take it anymore (no)
No! I’m not gonna take it anymore (no)
Lull me into a false sense of security
Then take the rug right out from underneath me
No! I’m not gonna take it anymore (no)
No! I’m not gonna take it anymore
Drownin’ me in your wicked duplicity
Finish the job with random hypocrisy
No! I’m not gonna take it anymore (no)
No! I’m not gonna take it anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
We’ve been down this road too many times before
I’m so ready to be on the other side of the door
Do you ever hear yourself? What kinda fool you take me for?
Trip so much yo backside should be sore

[Chorus]
Respect. Respect
Yep, that’s what I’m lookin’ for (yeah)
Yep, that’s what I’m lookin’ for (yeah)
Respect. Respect
Yep, that’s what I’m lookin’ for (yeah)
Yep, that’s what I’m lookin for

[Verse 2]
Honesty, education, trust, commitment, compassion and enrichment
Yep, that’s what I’m lookin’ for (yo)
Yep, that’s what I’m lookin’ for (yo)
Honesty, education, trust, commitment, compassion and enrichment
Yep, that’s what I’m lookin’ for (yo)
