Testo Respect - Jagged Edge

Testo della canzone Respect (Jagged Edge), tratta dall'album Jagged Little Thrill

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 judgment
'Cause I'll be damned if someone's taking 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
No matter how strong she is for a woman
A man should never attempt to lay his hands on her
There's more to life than what happens on your block
Let's treat the women right and hold 'em at the top
Gotta raise these kids and teach 'em, never don't you stop
You ain't no man to me if you let your family starve
Got no respect for them dudes that hit they women
Got no respect for them fools that leave they children
I just wanna take care of my family
Got no respect if you ain't tryna do the right thing
Got no respect for them dudes that hit they women
Got no respect for them fools that leave they children
I just wanna take care of my family
Got no respect if you ain't tryna do the right thing
I respect the type of girl that tries to love a man
With many flaws and broken laws but still he stands
The kind of girl that turns a boy into a man
The kind of girl that turns a flop into a plan
No respect for those who walk through life just asking 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
There's more to life than what happens on your block
Let's treat the women right and hold 'em at the top
Gotta raise these kids and teach 'em, never don't you stop
You ain't no man to me if you let your family starve
Got no respect for them dudes that hit they women
Got no respect for them fools that leave they children
I just wanna take care of my family
Got no respect if you ain't tryna do the right thing
Got no respect for them dudes that hit they women
Got no respect for them fools that leave they children
I just wanna take care of my family
Got no respect if you ain't tryna do the right thing
Fellas we gotta make a change
In the way that we treat our women and our children
Yes we do
Knowing 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 ones connected by your name
'Cause in the end all that matters is
Your wife and your kids, oh yeah
Got no respect for them dudes that hit they women
Got no respect for them fools that leave they children
I just wanna take care of my family
Got no respect if you ain't tryna do the right thing
Got no respect for them dudes that hit they women
Got no respect for them fools that leave they children
I just wanna take care of my family
Got no respect if you ain't tryna do the right thing
Got no respect for them dudes that hit they women
Got no respect for them fools that leave they children
I just wanna take care of my family
Got no respect if you ain't tryna do the right thing
