Respect - Hip Hop Pantsula

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…

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 (Jabba-Man o le fa)

(Ha re tshameke weekend)

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…

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 (Jabba-Man o le fa)

(Ha re tshameke weekend)

We paying respect on the track

With Aretha in the back saying…
