Respect Me - Respect My Struggle Lyrics by Debris Stevenson

Poet In Da Corner

2020

[Chorus: Jammz]
You are gonna respect my struggle, respect my struggle
You and I come from two different worlds, I ain't in your bubble
Might both come from the same place, but we got two different hustles
Your pain ain't nothin' like my pain, that's two different troubles
So you are gonna respect my struggle, respect my struggle
You and I come from two different worlds, I ain't in your bubble
Might both come from the same place, but we got two different hustles
Your pain ain't nothin' like my pain, that's two different troubles
[Verse 1: Jammz]
I can't permit this, I can't believe it
If you're really an MC, then you should know you're just thieving
Far from original, you're just repeating
Names and lights now, I can see clearly
The people you grew with, cramped your stylie
How you gonna cat me and not invite me?
That's like Roll Deep minus Wiley
[Verse 2: Debris Stevenson]
I was gonna mention you, but then you interrupted me, so what was I to do?
Original tag team, how could we be enemies?
Let our friendship come thru'
This show's about teaching, mimic is learning
It's a compliment to you
Academic reference, from grime to uni
That is the fight I choose
[Verse 3: Jammz]
Oh please, you don't care about me, don't lie
You just claim to have lived my life
You ain't the same as me Debs, don't try
You used me and realised your dreams
Little did you know, I gave up on mine
Had to put that thought out of my mind
Bet you didn't know my mum nearly died three years ago
She was fighting for life
[Verse 4: Debris Stevenson, Jammz]
I tried to take you with me, I tried to make that clear
But the more that I tried, the more it was clear
That taking you with, was taking away your brothers and cuz
[?] betrayed
Helped other people 'cause I couldn't save you
[?] responsibility with privilege too
But I ran away from me when I ran away from you (Respect my)
[Chorus: Debris Stevenson]
You are gonna respect my struggle, respect my struggle
You and I come from two different worlds, I ain't in your bubble
Might both come from the same place, but we got two different hustles
Your pain ain't nothin' like my pain, that's two different troubles
[Verse 5: Jammz]
I hear you, but it don't make no difference
None of what you said makes your fight equivalent
You're just standing here, appropriating our culture, and acting innocent
Either that or you're choosing ignorance
Nobody hears done their due diligence
Otherwise everybody woulda been calling you out for silence in my experience
[Verse 6: Debris Stevenson]
Look, grime it shaped me
Look, grime it cured me
Look, grime's fucking different to me
I ain't the Godfather or claiming to be
Yes, we've been through shit
Yes, about grime, we couldn't survive it
Yes, been ignorant to your side of it
But didn't I deserve to escape this?
