Respect Me

Lyrics

You people are gonna respect me if it kills you (it's loud, it's loud)
 You people are gonna respect me if it kills you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
 Yeah, you people are gonna respect me if it kills you
 People are gonna respect me, people are gonna respect me
 Bet I make you respect me
 You people are gonna respect me if it kills you
 (Bet I make you respect me)
 Yo, look
 Do it how they didn't wanna do it
 Now they really wanna try to do that, but I'm telling them no
 I'm in a predicament where imitators wanna take my style
 And have bit of my flow
 This copy-catting of my lyrics and my chatting better stop
 Before the gunshots blow
 Do you really want it?
 'Cause I really wanna give it, if you do just let me know
 And I show, arrogance and elegance
 But no, tolerance for nonsense
 I bring, violence, I'm a nuisance
 Kill a MC, leave no evidence
 I've got brains and intelligence
 But no conscience, no innocence
 We roll in the darkened silence
 We're presidents in any residence
 And I swing for your chin with no hesitance
 I'm a captain, you'd better bring your regiments
 And you're a failure, don't have no relevance
 I'm a champion, winner and victor
 Prick you're so not ready, so silly, so heading for the golden gates
 No, really you monkeys are playin' with apes
 Now guerilla warfare is the purpose I carry this stick for
 Plus I've had enough of these little cheap comments
 From fake MC's, bad minders, and sket ladies
 Talking about how it used to be?
 Well it's a brand new day so leave me be
 I don't need you, so you don't need me, your opinion don't interest me
 Don't like me? That's fine by me
 'Cause from Holly Street to Hollywood, it's all good
 From New York to York Hall, it's all cool
 You're a fool if you think I'm gonna cease
 Now honestly could there really be peace?
 It don't seem that way, too tough
 Stop with the games, I play too rough
 You must be smoking too much puff, divert or be deceased
 UK rapper stabbed in Napa, cause of gossip, cause of chatter
 "He's still breathing, he's still a dapper"
 Retaliate with gun clapper
 Truthfully, I can't see very well
 Don't flatter yourself, you're any girl
 Them boys should've sent me to hell, now prepare for the beast
 You people are gonna respect me
 I bet I make you respect me
 You people are gonna respect me
 I bet I make you respect me
 You people are gonna respect me
 I bet I make you respect me
 You people are gonna respect me
 I bet I make you respect me
 You people are gonna respect me if it kills you
 Bet I make you respect me
 You people are gonna respect me if it kills you
 Ay, verse 2
 Endless speculation I'm facin'
 Constant controversial relations to gun crime at Garage events
 With so many claims and no evidence
 Suggesting I'm the reason for the U.K. gun-clap season
 I'm legal, may I stress, for the fool, for the sake of trident intelligence
 Go ahead, check my files all day
 Bit of criminal damage and TDA, might be a little bit of violent disorder
 But I ain't never been locked away
 Got a few mates that have been convicted
 Yeah, so what? It's the hand life dealt them
 We weren't blessed with the system's TLC
 Government should've tried to help them
 Look, I've been a law breaker, ain't tryna hide it
 As for the sentence, ain't tryna ride it
 (I) stopped that so I could do this
 I'm legit, you may as well kiss my A-S-S, P-L-E-A-S-E
 I'm L-E-G-I-T, you ain't got nothing on me
 But to the pricks who think I'm slackin', please dont ever be fooled, I'm packin'
 This is a welcome and it's a warning
 Please don't ever just think I'm rapping
 You know the score, I'm raw from day, still Dylan the villain from round the way
 Feel free to quote anything I say
 Please don't ever just think I'm chattin'
 You people are gonna respect me
 I bet I make you respect me
 You people are gonna respect me
 I bet I make you respect me
 You people are gonna respect me
 I bet I make you respect me
 You people are gonna respect me
 I bet I make you respect me
 You people are gonna respect me
 I bet I make you respect me
 You people are gonna respect me if it kills you
 Bet I make you respect me
 You people are gonna respect me if it kills you
 I know what your thinkin', he's gone too far now, innit
 Fuck it, if I don't speak who's gonna speak for me?
 Stand up for myself in this shit
 So fuck you, unapologetic
 Can't be, never have been, won't be a prick
 Yeah, that's it
