Verse 1:
Oh...
I respect a man raising his kids all on his own
I respect a man who makes sure that he takes care of home
Gotta respect a man with good judgement,
Cuz I'd be damned if someone's taking care of my kids

And I respect a man who treats his woman like a queen
I know you not perfect, you ain't gotta be so mean
No matter how strong she is for a woman
A man should never attempt to lay his hands on her

Vamp:
There's more to life than what happens on your block
Let's treat your women right and hold 'em at the top
Gotta raise his kids and teach 'em never don't ya stop
You ain't no man to me if you let yo family starve

Chorus: (repeat 2x)
Got no respect for them dudes that hit they women and
Got no respect for them fools that leave they children and
I just wanna take care of my family
Got no respect if you ain't tryna do the right thing


Verse 2:
I respect the kind of girl who tries to love a man
With many flaws and broken laws but still he stands
The kind of girl who turns a boy into a man
The kind of girl who turns a flop in to a plan

No respect from those who walk through life just asking you...
What you can do for them but still they hate on you
It dont take no man to make that baby
But yes it takes a man to raise that baby

(Repeat Vamp and Chorus)


Bridge:
Fellas we gotta make a change in the way that we treat our women and our children yes we do
I hope that there's a brighter day, look ahead to the sky if you wanna change/need a change
See all that money don't, it don't really mean a thing if you can't show some love to the ones connected by your blood
Cuz in the end all that matters is your wife and your kids

(Repeat Chorus til end)
