Jagged Edge - Respect lyrics

Ohh whoa ohh.... I respect a man raisin' his kids all on his own I respect a man who makes sure he takes care of home You gotta respect a man with good judgement 'Cause I'll be damned if someone's takin' care of my kids And I respect a man who treats his woman like a queen I know you're 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 There's more to life than what happens on your block Just treat your women right and hold 'em at the top Gotta raise these kids and teach 'em, never don't ya stop You ain't no man to me if you let your family starve Got no respect for them dudes who hit they women and Got no respect for the fools who leave they children and I just wanna take care of my family Got no respect if you ain't trying to do the right thing Got no respect for them dudes who hit they women and Got no respect for the fools who leave they children and I just wanna take care of my family Got no respect if you ain't trying to do the right thing I respect the type of girl that tries to love a man With many flaws and broken laws but still he stands The kinda girl who turns a boy into a man The kinda girl who turns a flop into a plan No respect for those who walk through life just askin' you What you can do for them but still they hate on you It don't take no man to make that baby But yes, it takes a man to raise that baby There's more to life than what happens on your block Just treat your women right and hold 'em at the top Gotta raise these kids and teach 'em, never don't ya stop You ain't no man to me if you let your family starve Got no respect for them dudes who hit they women and Got no respect for the fools who leave they children and I just wanna take care of my family Got no respect if you ain't trying to do the right thing Got no respect for them dudes who hit they women and Got no respect for the fools who leave they children and I just wanna take care of my family Got no respect if you ain't trying to do the right thing Fellas, we gotta make a change In the way that we treat our women and our children, yes we do Hope that there's a better day Put your hands to the sky If you want a change, need a change See all that you know, it don't really mean a thing If you can't show some love to the ones connected by your blood 'Cause in the end all that matters is your wife and your kids Got no respect for them dudes who hit they women and Got no respect for the fools who leave they children and I just wanna take care of my family Got no respect if you ain't trying to do the right thing
