Respect Me Lyrics by Cormega

Legal Hustle

2004

Aiyyo, real niggas live off of principles
If you want it bad enough, I'mma give it to you
If your nigga ain't faithful, then fuck him too
I don't trust to many niggas, just roll with a few
East New York, flooded with Bloods
I took care of responsibilities before I turned to Dove
They quick to judge when they see me in the streets but fuck 'em
Yall don't really live like me, in the hood like me
With crackheads and dopefiends unconditionally
I show love to the niggas whose real with me and reality friends is hard to keep
I can't trust nobody in the industry, motherfuckers don't want to see Dona eat
I never been the type to panic, fall under pressure in dispair and vanish
[Hook - repeat 2X]
Respect me, I'm respect you
Niggas ain't stupid, they know who to step to
Don't get it twisted, if you feel something handle your business
Real niggas recognize realness
For years I've been waiting for this moment
My feelings wrapped up in this moment, I can't control it
Driven by something bigger than a dollar sign
And momma always said make best of the worst times
For the first time, I see shit clearly
Writing at the table with captain crunch and dairy(?)
Dare to be nothing like them, they turned their backs on God
And he gave his only son, am I'm the only one whose keeing it real
We struggle everyday just to eat a decent meal
Keep a roof over our heads and over dead prez, they shooting at our heads
And either way, our children suffer from lead
You don't want to see me make it
Rather see me dead/but real bitches do gangsta things
I do whatever nigga to feed my team
[Hook]
Seven days out of the week, I'm on my j-o-b
Little to know sneak(?), my fam gotta eat
Fuck trying to get by, we multiply
In my hood everyday a young nigga dies
Its a blessing to be alive, hungry to get these pies
I drop versus, niggas feel deep inside
No question, its a respect thing, I'mma keep it real with Tims and Pepe
All the money in the world couldn't change the way I think
Streets are watching every move I make
These niggas are fake always coming at you wrong
Brownsville still going strong
Friends become enemies, nigga you never been a friend of me
Always pretending to be my closet friend
Like I'm stupid enough to let you in
[Hook]
