9th Wonder - Respect Due lyrics

[Verse One: Joe Scudda] This is for my kids under light posts Holding they fist tight, rocking Timberlands and they flight coats For everybody up in the 'burbs Go out, looking for trouble Little kids stay smoking that herb For everybody with stress on the nerves You not alone Just think of the kid when you're feeling you can't go on My words will pull you through That's like falling asleep at the wheel And your shotgun rider gonna pull ya to My stories are wild rides you better buckle up Life's a fight man, you better knuckle up Just keep swinging, never back down If you know where you been, tell me where you at now Stay focused Help your mans if he hopeless I know you got love for him, but make sure that he notice Everybody gon' fall We put you right back on your feet You can't believe we got love for all of y'all [Hook: Joe Scudda] Respect due Yo, for everybody struggling, shuffling No matter what you do in life we always hustle Respect due Yo, for everybody trying to take it In the streets, do ya thang, they just trying to make it [Rapper Big Pooh] Respect due Yo, for everybody doing a bid Kissing pics on the wall cause they missing they kid Respect due Yo for everybody down, n***a stuck in a box Serving life with they time on lock Respect due [Verse Two: Rapper Big Pooh] This is for my n***a with the big whip, American pimp Clock doe from a couple chicks Stuck in the mix now you serving a stint I know the bing ain't sh** to play with But you gotta do it I hope this scribe help my n***a through it I hold you down till the day you release and we gon' get paid Heaven made, spending time on the islands It's G4 when we fly man I mean, life ain't been the same since you been locked I seen young n***as running the block and making sh** worse My heart hurts cause you stuck in the square And I just can't see you there Stay positive I'ma right the wrongs with every song I pen To make up for every time we sin Me and you had problems and the came to an end This sh** for you J, let's do it again This for my n***a [Hook]
