Respect Yourself
Empower Your Journey: Embracing Self-Respect with Jennie Lena's Message
Lyrics
If you disrespect anybody that you run in to
If you disrespect anybody that you run into
How in the world do you think anybody is supposed to respect you
How do you expect to receive respect from others?
If you don't give a heck bout the man with the bible in his hand
If you don't care about the man holding the Bible
Just get out the way and let the gentleman do his thing
Step aside and allow him to do his righteous deeds
Respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself
Emphasizing the importance of respecting oneself
If you don't respect yourself
Without self-respect
Ain't nobody gonna give a good goddamn, na na na na na
No one will care about you
If you're walking round thinking that the world owes you something cause you're here You're going out the world backwards like you did when you first come here
If you believe the world owes you something
Oh, you cuss around women and you don't even know their names
Using vulgar language towards women
Then you're dumb enough to think that'll make you a big ol' man
Thinking it makes you significant
Respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself
Reiteration of the importance of self-respect
If you don't respect yourself ain't nobody gonna give a good goddamn, na na na na
Without self-respect, no one will care about you
Respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself
Reaffirming the necessity of self-respect
If you don't respect yourself
Lack of self-respect leads to others not caring
Ain't nobody gonna give a good goddamn, no no no
No one will care about you if you lack self-respect
Respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself
Stressing once again the importance of self-respect
If you don't respect yourself
Highlighting the consequence of not respecting oneself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good goddamn, no no no
Others won't care about you if you lack self-respect
