Respect - Lucky Dube

When you flash that badge

You want everyone to shiver

When you flash that badge

You want everyone to worship you

I got no time to worship human kind

I only worship the All Mighty

Through his prophets I have learned

To give respect to everything he created

I give love to those who gimme love

Love those who gimme war.

I love those who hate me

I bless even those who curse me yeah

Gimme gimme respect

Show me show me show me respect.

You could be the president

You could be his deputy

You don’t even have to know

My political affiliation

You don’t even have to know

My religious affiliation

Respect me, for who I am

And not what I am

Nobody even cares about your dollars

Nobody even cares about your bling bling

Give love to those who give you love

Love to those who give you war.

Love those who hate you

Bless even those who curse you, yeah

Gimme Gimme respect

Show me show me respect
