Joel Turner – Respect lyrics

Yo, I'm sick of the lack of respect that I get,
from these cats who think that they pose as a threat,
but they don't even know me,
yet they try and put me to the test,
thinking their on top of me, 'cause they got a bigger chest,
but I just sit back and let them guess,
half of wondering what I can do to them next,
they don't know what to expect,
I'm telling you now, it's not about success,
It's a fact we've all been blessed from the man upstairs,
but nobody cares, these people so quick to judge,
can't even walk the streets at night without being mugged,
how can one fight when homies getting slugged,
it's seems that we forget that he's watching us from above,
some dudes are heartless, that's why we have lost so many rap artists,
it's garbage, they never think of thier sons or daughters,
now they have to grow without a father to love,
god bless the memory of Tupac, Notorious, Jam Master Jay and Bugz,

CHORUSx2
It's time that some people started to show a little respect,
We all love it but we all represent,
We only have one life and we should live it to the end,
We should all have the opportunity to do our best

What's up with Hip Hop, it's like we gotta get props, give us some props,
it's gonna get dropped, it's a serious problem we got,
when there's lack of respect, leads to death by the sharks,
it don't happen in Australia yet, how long have we got?
before we all gotta be hardcore, when we start wars,
when beef jump off the boat, come to your streets and all,
when beefs knock on your door and force to the floor,
put a gun in your mouth, blow your brains out all over the wall,
cause we all want this respect, dont disrespect us,
it's like we all gotta prove that we the best, it just doesn't makes sense,
we all paranoid and stressed,
we aren't running from coppers, we run from each other instead,
how long before an aussie MC dead, when an old friend
gets this crazy idea in his head like you trying to test,
pulls out his weapons and uses them,
we gotta settle down before Hip Hip starts getting stupid man,

CHORUSx4

A little respect...
A little respect...
