Respect Yourself By The Staple Singers

If you disrespect anybody that you run in to
How in the world do you think anybody's s'posed to respect you
If you don't give a heck 'bout the man with the bible in his hand
Just get out the way, and let the gentleman do his thing
You the kind of gentleman that want everything your way
Take the sheet off your face, boy, it's a brand new day
Respect yourself, respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na
Respect yourself, respect yourself
If you're walking 'round think'n that the world owes you something cause
You're here you goin' out the world backwards like you did when you
Put your hand on your mouth when you cough, that'll help the solution
Oh, you cuss around women and you don't even know their names and you
Dumb enough to think that'll make you a big ol man

I try to teach archer to cover his mouth when he coughs but he is slow to learn this lesson. I agree with this song. If you can’t respect yourself you won’t respect others. And the world will suck to live in. We all should listen to this song everyday as a reminder. Except it’s not the best musically. There isn’t really a very catchy chorus and the verses are boring.
