Respect

Somebody give me my respect
I’ve been out making my waves
Look at the throne like it’s me next
Ain’t no one taking my place
Call up my phone in the daylight
I don’t remember your name
But baby girl give me my respect
And I’ll go along with the game
Don’t wanna say, «Baby, be fair»
When she put my body to bed
Wish I had a chopper for defects
Water slide, make em wet
Lady know I’m finna be rich
She don’t care about the plans
I know she be wanting my focus
Like imma make money for Paris
Get any shawty, depends (ay)
Twenty ounce Sprite for the Tech (ay)
Like it when she on the edge
Postin' the addy I had to be calm and collected
Somebody give me my respect
I’ve been out making my waves
Look at the throne like it’s me next
Ain’t no one taking my place
Call up my phone in the daylight
I don’t remember your name
But baby girl give me my respect
And I’ll go along with the game
Huh, Respect
Dive in the deep end like feet wet
Drown in my sins then I repent
Drown in my drip on the weekend
Don’t need no break ain’t no recess, huh
My pain on my pendant
My heart on my necklace
I paid all my penance
My scars give me comfort
I count them all up
But I don’t give them numbers
I live in denial when it come to my lovers
I drown in the Nile when I pour up my liquor
I act like I smile but it’s really a mission
I keep me a girl but she not for the kissin'
She whippin' it up and I hit in the kitchen
Somebody give me my respect
I’ve been out making my waves
Look at the throne like it’s me next
Ain’t no one taking my place
Call up my phone in the daylight
I don’t remember your name
But baby girl give me my respect
And I’ll go along with the game
