Lucky Dube Lyrics
Respect Lyrics
When you flash that badge
You want everyone to shiver
When you flash that badge
You want everyone to worship you
I got no time to worship human kind
I only worship the All Mighty
Through his prophets I have learned
To give respect to everything he created
I give love to those who gimme love
Love those who gimme war.
I love those who hate me
I bless even those who curse me yeah [x2]
[Chorus:]
Gimme gimme respect
Show me show me show me respect.
You could be the president
You could be his deputy
You don't even have to know
My political affiliation
You don't even have to know
My religious affiliation
Respect me, for who I am
And not what I am
Nobody even cares about your dollars
Nobody even cares about your bling bling
Five love to those who give you love
Love to those who give you war.
Love those who hate you
Bless even those who curse you, yeah [x2]
[Chorus:]
Gimme Gimme respect
Show me show me respect
[Chorus: till fade]
