Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When you flash that badge

You want everyone to shiver

When you flash that badge

You want everyone to worship you

[Verse 2]

I got no time to worship human kind

I only worship the All Mighty (The All Mighty)

Through his prophets I have learned

To give respect to everything He created

[Verse 3]

I give love to those who gimme love

Love to those who gimme war

I love those who hate me

I bless even those who curse me, yeah

[Verse 4]

I give love (Love) to those who love me

Give love (Love) to those who gimme war

I love (Love) those who hate me

I bless (Bless) even those who curse me, yeah

[Verse 5]

Come on join me, respect

I can sing some respect

Show me, show me, show me respect

I got you, got you some respect

Show me, show me, show me respect

[Verse 6]

You could be the president (President)

You could be his deputy (Deputy)

You don't even have to know

My political affiliation

You don't even have to know

My religious affiliation

[Verse 7]

Respect me, for who I am

And not what I am

Nobody even cares about your dollars

Nobody even cares about your bling bling (Your bling bling)

[Verse 8]

Give love (Love) to those who give you love

Love (Love) to those who give you war

Give love (Love) to those who hate you

Bless (Bless) even those who curse you

[Verse 9]

Give love to those who love you

Love to those who give you war

Love to those who hate you

Bless even those who curse you, yeah

[Verse 10]

Gimme respect

I wanna see some respect

Now gimme, gimme, gimme respect

Show me, show me, show me, show me respect

Gimme, gimme, gimme respect

[Verse 11]

Gimme respect

I wanna see some respect

Now gimme, gimme, gimme respect

Show me, show me, show me respect

I wanna see some respect

Now gimme, gimme, gimme respect

Show me, show me, show me respect
