Respect Lyrics - Lucky Dube

When you flash that badge 

You want everyone to shiver 

When you flash that badge 

You want everyone to worship you 

I got no time to worship human kind 

I only worship the All Mighty 

Through his prophets I have learned 

To give respect to everything he created 

I give love to those who gimme love 

Love those who gimme war 

I love those who hate me 

I bless even those who curse me year x 2 

Chorus 

Gimme gimme respect 

Show me show me respect. 

You could be the president 

You could be his deputy 

You don't even have to know 

My political affiliation 

You don't even have to know 

My religious affiliation 

Respect me, for who I am 

And not what I am 

Nobody even cares about your dollars 

Nobody even cares about your bling bling 

Give love to those who give you love 

Love to those who hate you 

Bless even those who curse you, yeah x 2 

Chorus 

Gimme respect 

Show me show me respect 

Chorus till fade.
