Respect

I respect a man
 Raising his kids all on his own
 I respect a man
 Who makes sure he takes care of home
 You gotta respect a man
 With good judement
 Cause i be damn if somebone's taken care of my kids
 And i respect a man
 Who treats his woman like a queen
 I know you're not perfect
 You ain't gotta be so mean
 Don't matter how strong she is for a woman
 A man should never attempt to lay his hands on her
 Hook
 There's more to life
 Than what happens on your block
 Let's treat these women right
 And hold'em at the top
 Gotta raise these kids
 And teach'em never don't cha stop
 You aint no man to me
 If you let'cha your family starve
 Got no respect
 For them dudes that hit their women and
 Got no respect
 For them fools who leave their children and
 I just wanna take care of my family
 Got no respect
 If you ain't try'na do the right thing
 Got no respect
 For them dudes that hit their women and
 Got no respect
 For them fools who leave their children and
 I just wanna take care of my family
 Got no respect
 If you ain't try'na do the right thing
 I respect the type of girl
 That tries to love her man
 With many flaws
 And broken laws
 But still he stands
 The kinda girl
 That turns a boy into a man
 The kinda girl
 That turns a flop into a plan
 No respect from those
 Those who walk thru life
 Just askin you
 What you can do for them
 But still they hate on you
 It don't take no man
 To make that baby
 But yes it
 Takes a man to raise that baby
 Hook
 There's more to life
 Than what happens on your block
 Let's treat tese women right
 And hold'em at the top
 Gotta rasie these kids
 And teach'em never don't cha stop
 You ain't no man to me
 If you let'cha your family starve
 Got no respect
 For them dudes that hit their women and
 Got no respect
 For them fools who leave their children and
 I just wanna take care of my family
 Got no respect
 If you ain't try'na do the right thing
 Got no respect
 For them dudes that hit their women and
 Got no respect
 For them fools who leave their children and
 I just wanna take care of my family

 Bridge:
 Fellows
 We gotta make a change
 In the way
 That we treat our women
 And our children
 Yes we do
 Know that there's a better day
 Look ahead to the sky
 If you wanna change
 Need a change
 See all that money don't
 It don't really mean a thing
 If you can't show some love
 To the one's connected by your blood
 Cause in the end
 All that matters is
 Your wife and your kids
 Got no respect
