Pete Philly & Perquisite

Respect
Yeah, Pete Philly and Perquisite The mindstate venture This music aint for everybody This music's for you! Look out, they'll take your sh* Ready to break your sh* Take to spend more and get some sh* Move over, another hostile takeover As the world turns, the world turns over 'F* y'all, me first!' has become the motto Whether you're white, black, Hispanic or mulatto And it's only because we follow our leaders They be hollow and won't respect us either It's really hard to swallow Though bet you don't hear me though Probably even fearing so You'd do anything to go and buy that new stereo And ever since the currency has batled all the courtesy of live and let live or live and let be We've become disconnected, disrespected And it's affected our whole state of being now Take a wrong turn and you'll get shot Like we ignorant and forgot that life is all we got man! Respect, we check, we connect SongtexteWe respect eachother like a brother or a marter If there's no respect, then why even bother? Respect, we check, we connect We respect eachother like our mother and our father If there's no respect, then why even bother? Every once in a while I look out of my window and go off to a place that my old folks have showed I aint never been there before But they told me enough about it for me not to doubt it Go back to reality, become casualty of the ratrace Everything is fastpaced And while the cats chace The mice they be running around And the cats they be hunting them down Gunning them down by law if they find you the enemy And if they do they'll fuck you up relentlessly Endlessly, the evil goes on But every trend's gotta end So I remain strong and hopeful Even when they try to keep me in a chokehold, I know my hope grows It's time for an intermission from all of this greed Of all these corporations taking way more than they need! Respect, we check, we connect We respect eachother like a brother or a marter If there's no respect, then why even bother? Respect, we check, we connect We respect eachother like our mother and our father If there's no respect, then why even bother? At the end of the day it's all about what kinda world you wanna live in! What kinda mindstate you wanna be in! See past the bullshh and get into it! Respect, connect, let's build!... Aus Songtexte Mania
