Dizzee Rascal - Respect Us lyrics
[Dizzee Rascal - Respect Us lyrics]
Who you're talking to my friend?
My family, my children
my mother can hold her head
Up in any neighbourhood in
This city when she walks down the block
I'm known, forget about it
I'm known all over the fucking world
Anybody ask, anybody (DJ Semtex)
The wrong fucking (Let's go, yo)
Do it how they didn't wanna do it, now
They really wanna try to do that
But I'm telling them no
I'm in a predicament where
Imitators wanna take my
Style and have bit of my flow
This copy-catting of my lyrics
And my chatting
Better stop before the gunshots blow
Do you really want it? 'Cos
I really wanna give it
If you do just let me know
And I show, arrogance and elegance
But no, tolerance for nonsense
I bring, violence, I'm a nuisance
Kill a MC, leave no evidence
I've got brains and intelligence
But no conscience, no innocence
We roll in the darkened silence
We're presidents in any residence
And I swing for your chin with no hesitance
I'm a captain
You'd better bring your regiments
And you're a failure, don't have no relevance
I'm a champion, winner and victor
Prick you're so not ready, so silly
So heading for the golden gates
No, really you monkeys are playin' with apes
Now guerilla warfare is the purpose
I carry this stick for
Plus I've had enough of these little cheap
Comments from fake MC's, bad minders
And sket ladies
Talking about how it used to be? Well it's
A brand new day so leave me be
I don't need you, so you don't need me
Your opinion don't interest me
Don't like me? That's fine by me
'Cause from Holly Street to Hollywood
It's all good
From New York to York Hall, it's all cool
You're a fool if you think I'm gonna cease
Now honestly could there really be peace?
It don't seem that way, too tough
Stop with the games, I play too rough
You must be smoking too much puff
Divert or be deceased
UK rapper stabbed in Napa, cause of gossip
Cause of chatter
"He's still breathing, he's still a dapper"
Retaliate with gun clapper
Truthfully, I can't see very well (Nah)
Don't flatter yourself, you're any girl
Them boys should've sent me to hell
Now prepare for the beast
You people are gonna respect me
I bet I make you respect me
You people are gonna respect me
I bet I make you respect me
You people are gonna respect me
I bet I make you respect me
You people are gonna respect me
I bet I make you respect me
Hey, let's get this straight, now, I never
Fucked anybody over in my life
All I have in this world is
My boss and my word
And I don't break 'em for no reason
Diverse, I swear
Endless speculation I'm facin'
Constant controversial relations to gun
Crime at Garage events
With so many claims and no evidence
Suggesting I'm the reason for
The UK gun-clap season
I'm legal, may I stress, for the fool
For the sake of trident intelligence
Go ahead, check my files all day
Bit of criminal damage and TDA
Might be a little bit of violent disorder
But I ain't never been locked away (No way)
Got a few mates that have been convicted
Yeah, so what? It's the hand life dealt them
We weren't blessed with the system's TLC
Government should've tried to help them
(Look, I've) been a law breaker
Ain't tryna hide it
As for the sentence, ain't tryna ride it
(I) stopped that so I could do this
I'm legit, you may as well kiss my A-S-S
P-L-E-A-S-E
I'm L-E-G-I T, you ain't got nothing on me
But to the pricks who think I'm
Slackin', please, don't ever be fooled
I'm packin'
This is a welcome and it's a warning, please
Don't ever just think I'm rapping
You know the score, I'm raw from day
Still Dylan the villain from round the way
Feel free to quote anything I say, please
Don't ever just think I'm chattin'
You people are gonna respect me
I bet I make you respect me
You people are gonna respect me
I bet I make you respect me
You people are gonna respect me
I bet I make you respect me
You people are gonna respect me
I bet I make you respect me
Now we all get to know what
It's like when some assholes
Gonna step outta the dark and
Blow your head off
I want you to know what it's
Like to live that way
I don't wanna hurt you but I'll blow
You away if I have to, you understand?
Respect me
