Lyrics

Respect

[Intro: Funkmaster Flex]

Funkflex, Big Kap, Cash Money

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]

Even if I don't get no taller I'ma always be a C.M.B baller

Wanted for manslaughter, they call me quick drawer

Weezie two pistols, I bought me a revolver

A K and two missiles, look, I'm ready for war

But do you fell the same? Look, come swim in my water

Tangle wit' Lil Wayne, bruh, you must be retarda

Don't know bout my niggas, I'm a seventeen off ya

Runnin with guerrillas, life's group is my big brotha

Thugged out and ready and I'm just a lil' shorter

But gangsta like Joe Pesci get ready to cock it and let it

Cut a nigga like machetes, turn 'em to confetti (All gone)

They want it raw dog so give 'em all hair

Dressed up in camouflage, me Juve in a V12

Just duck tape the nigga, throw his body in the lake

I ain't like him anyway cause the nigga too fake

[Chorus]

I take respect nigga (Ya playin' the wrong one)

I'll break ya neck nigga (Ya playin' wit' da wrong gun)

I use K's to wet niggas (I'm spraying da whole room)

Better watch you back nigga (Lil' one that's a wrap)

I take respect nigga (Ya playin' the wrong one)

I'll break ya neck nigga (Ya playin' wit' da wrong gun)

I use K's to wet niggas (I'm spraying da whole room)

Better watch you back nigga (Lil' one that's a wrap)

[Verse 2: Juvenile]

My worries was to get paid and double my earn

Go at it don't be afraid, and just keep on burning

Don't let it go to my head and take care of my children

Stay outta all of that bullshit, and change my appearance

I fear no muthafucka, I'm a man, ya know

Ya want beef but I choose it with the calicoes

Magnolia my home, and it's gon' always be

You get a tresspassing charge when you fuckin' with me

And it won't be the police when it's bringing you down

It will be a whole bunch of niggas that's banging them rounds

Tearing it down, had that third ward uptown

Fuckin around, got a nigga stuck, what now?

We could do this shit, pursue this shit ya know

We knew this shit, went through this shit before

Blood thicker than water and that's all the time

You takes nothing from me cause I'm a war for mine

[Chorus]

I take respect nigga (Ya playin' the wrong one)

I'll break ya neck nigga (Ya playin' wit' da wrong gun)

I use K's to wet niggas (I'm spraying da whole room)

Better watch you back nigga (Lil' one that's a wrap)

I take respect nigga (Ya playin' the wrong one)

I'll break ya neck nigga (Ya playin' wit' da wrong gun)

I use K's to wet niggas (I'm spraying da whole room)

Better watch you back nigga (Lil' one that's a wrap)

[Verse 3: B.G.]

I play the game realer than the average killer on the streets

Ain't no way I could have a bitch nigga thinking I'm weak

I tote heat, so be prepared to release ya heard me (Ya heard me)

Play myself, she slipped and the busta served me (Uh-uh)

I rips it up, hit ya block, lift the bitch up

Tell me what else could I do besides down or get drowned

That's why when I'm off in drama I goes out

Come in ya house, click-clack in ya baby mama's mouth

That's what it's about if ya doubt that

In the projects with ya head chopped where ya found at, I did that

I'm a nigga that be squeezing the trigga at random

Nabbin' niggas we call ho busta's for ransom

They don't call they people up tell em I blast 'em

That's how it go in the game, fuckin' right I blast them

I'm a fool with that black .9, ayy

And I got a click that's full of soldiers, coming in that water behind me (No respect for ya bitch)

[Chorus]

I take respect nigga (Ya playin' the wrong one)

I'll break ya neck nigga (Ya playin' wit' da wrong gun)

I use K's to wet niggas (I'm spraying da whole room)

Better watch you back nigga (Lil' one that's a wrap)

I take respect nigga (Ya playin' the wrong one)

I'll break ya neck nigga (Ya playin' wit' da wrong gun)

I use K's to wet niggas (I'm spraying da whole room)

Better watch you back nigga (Lil' one that's a wrap)

I take respect nigga (Ya playin' the wrong one)

I'll break ya neck nigga (Ya playin' wit' da wrong gun)

I use K's to wet niggas (I'm spraying da whole room)

Better watch you back nigga (Lil' one that's a wrap)

I take respect nigga (Ya playin' the wrong one)

I'll break ya neck nigga (Ya playin' wit' da wrong gun)

I use K's to wet niggas (I'm spraying da whole room)

Better watch you back nigga (Lil' one that's a wrap)
