repeating this through the whole song
Yo, I'm sick of the lack of respect that I get
From these cats who think that they pose as a threat
When they don't even know me yet
They try and put me to the test
Thinkin there on top of me, Cause they got a bigger chest
But I just sit back and let 'em guess, have 'em wonderin what I can do to 'em next, they don't know what to expect, I'm tellin you now, it's not about success, it's a fact we've all been blessed from the man upstairs, but nobody cares, there's people so quick to judge, can't even walk the streets at night without being mugged, how can one fight turn out to homies gettin slugged, it seems like we forget whos watching us from above, some dudes are heartless, that's why we've lost so many rap artists, it's garbage, they never think of there sons and daughters, now they've got to grow up with a father to love, god bless the memory of Tupac, Notorious, Jam Master Jay and Bugz
It's time that people started to show a little respect
We all love hip hop, we all represent
We only have one life, and we should live it to the end, we should all have the opportunity to do our best
What's up with hip-hop, it's like we gotta get props, give us some props
It's gonna get dropped, it's a serious problem we got
When this lack of respect, leads to death by gun shots
It don't happen in Australia yet, how long have we got?
Before we all gotta be hardcore, when we start wars
When beef jump off the beat, come to your streets and all
When peeps knock on your door and force to the floor
Put a gun in your mouth, blow your brains out all over the wall
Cause we all want this respect, don't disrespect us
It's like we all gotta prove that we the best, this just don't makes sense
We all paranoid and stressed
We aren't running from coppers, we run from each other instead
How long before an aussie MC dead
When an old friend
Gets this crazy idea in his head like your trying to test
Pulls out his weapons and uses them
We gotta settle down before Hip Hip starts getting stupid man
It's time that people started to show a little respect
We all love hip hop, we all represent
We only have one life, and we should live it to the end, we should all have the opportunity to do our best
... Little respect
