Respect Lyrics by HHP

Dumela

2009

[Verse 1]
Ok, who thought Jabba Man would write this?
The S-T-A-T-U-S might just be
I've been thinking younger people will like this
Just taking a money pina and make it priceless
I'm hoping Auntie Aretha don't mind us
Using her legendary pina so it reminds us
To show love (Show love)
Grown ups can try this
If you loving the pina go ahead and rewind it
I'm just showing pelo to batho ba tuka
Ka nako tsa kgale ke bona bane ba re [?]
Caiphus, Masekela, Juluka (To...)
Hugh Masekela, Mercy Phakela le Buda
It's a whole new era, but we're loving the old sound
From Kwela to the classical sounds of Motown (We are...)
Hoping we can make the industry grow now
And if o batla go itsi the low down
I'm showing you some...

[Chorus]
R-E-S-P-E-C-T (Jabba-Man o le fa...)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T (Ho tswa pelong ke le fa...)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T (Ka sekgoa bare ke...)

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
[?]

R-E-S-P-E-C-T (Jabba-Man o le fa)
[?] (Ha re tshameke weekend)

[Verse 2]
I wanna say bona (Bona)
I wanna be a baller
I wanna be senza ka khona
I wanna give birth
To a nation ya batho ba go ikgona
Ba phele mo leweng ba sa itshola
I wanna say (Gooo!)
To the babies who keep getting taller
Always on top like chimora
Ba go thola ditlhora
Le lebotha ba le thola
Ba ja madi nkare ba tswa mokola
I'm like (Hola!)
Mam' mcane le maloma mnaeza
When I make some money ke le akgela ko fraeza
To my old teacher wa go tlhola a smila
To my top notch preacher wa go tlhola a nchaela
(It's a whole new era)
But we loving the background way
Before Mandela a bile tshwarwa ko Cape Town
On that note, kea go saluta ge tau!
Jabba-Man o itsi the know how
I'm showing you some...

[Chorus]
R-E-S-P-E-C-T (Jabba-Man o le fa...)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T (Ho tswa pelong ke le fa...)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T (Ka sekgoa bare ke...)

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
[?]

R-E-S-P-E-C-T (Jabba-Man o le fa)
[?] (Ha re tshameke weekend)

[Bridge]
We paying respect on the track
With Aretha in the back saying...

We paying respect on the track
With Aretha in the back saying...

We paying respect on the track
With Aretha in the back saying...
