Disrespect
People often wonder; what is this generation coming to?
It’s a common question, I know I do
They think; why is the music industry this way?
With its catchy beats, yes
But that's all the least
Some songs degrade woman to the last lusty detail
Flooding them with negative messages on a massive scale
They think; why do people use the N-word so freely?
With its many pronunciations that people like to alter
Becoming more of a problem, being heard by your young son and daughter
Who basically have no knowledge of what it means
It’s always been an insult from what I've heard and seen
They think; why do young people act this way?
When they curse out their teachers
Commit criminal acts
Fight until the last drip of blood drops
And have no idea how to use the mop, but can make a mess like a pro
So
I'll let you marinate on that for a second
Time’s up
It’s because of disrespect
Is that the answer you'd expect?
Do you think I'm incorrect?
You see, some music has no respect for women
You see; their objects, just sexy props in the performance, to them
To me, their the gender that had to work for their rights the hardest
Their my mother, grandmothers, teachers, and friends
And I’ll love them until the very end
Disrespect
The N-word is so common now
But if whips and chains made a comeback it would change the crowd
Your ancestors may not be with you
But think about what they went through
And if your ancestors were not the ones that were subjugated
Think about others who are related
Disrespect
You got the good kids and then you got the flat out nasty group that will bring us down
Acting like clowns
They disgust me
I’m not one of them they'll say
And claim they don't need help, for them I’ll pray
And it seems like every day
Parents just give up on their kids
I believe that's one of the ultimate sins
And when it's their fault the kids can never blame themselves
Well
To that I say
Disrespect, disrespect, disrespect
But, it's nothing new
I mean, what can you do?
What can you do?
No not you, it’s not about you, it’s we
What can we do?
We can all just have, in Jesus name
And you can't be mad, it's a shame, that
We all just need, for everyone, don’t forget
Respect
