Respect Lyrics & Tabs by Pete Philly & Perquisite
Respect
guitar chords lyrics
Yeah, Pete Philly and Perquisite
The Mindstate venture
This music aint for everybody
This music is for you
Look out, they’ll take your sh*
Ready to break your sh*
Take to spend more and get some sh*
Move over, another hostile takeover
As the world turns the world turns over
F* ya’ll, me first has become the motto
Whether you’re white, black, Hispanic or mulatto
And it’s only because we follow our leaders
They be hollow and won’t respect us either
It’s really hard to swallow
Though bet you don’t hear me though
They be hollow and won’t respect us either
It’s really hard to swallow
Though bet you don’t hear me though
Probably even fearing so
You’d do anything to go and buy that new stereo
And ever since the currency has batled all the courtesy of live and let live or live and let be
We’ve become disconnected, disrespected
And it’s affected our whole state of being now
Take a wrong turn and you’ll get shot
Like we ignorant and forgot that life is all we got man
Chorus:
Respect, we check, we connect
We respect eachother like a brother or a marter
If there’s no respect, then why even bother?
Respect, we check, we connect
We respect eachother like our mother and our father
If there’s no respect, then why even bother?
Every once in a while
I look out of my window and go off to a place that my old folks have showed
I aint never been there before
But they told me enough about it for me not to doubt it
Go back to reality, become a casualty of the ratrace
Everything is a fastpaced
And while the cats chase
The mice they be running around
And the cats they be hunting them down
Gunning them down by law if they find you the enemy
And if they do they’ll fuck you up relentlessly
Endless, the evel goes on
But every trend’s gotta end
So I remain strong and hopeful
Even when the try to keep me in a chokehold, I know my hope groes It’s time for an intermission from all of these greed
Of all these corporations taking way more than they need
Chorus:
Respect, we check, we connect
We respect eachother like a brother or a marter
If there’s no respect, then why even bother?
Respect, we check, we connect
We respect eachother like our mother and our father
If there’s no respect, then why even bother?
At the end of the day it’s all about what kinda world you wanne live in
What kinda mindstate you wanne be in
See past the bullshh and get into it
Respect, connect, let’s build
