Respect
Moke & Tone Lyrics

Got a lotta respect I'm well known
I have earned a great deal of admiration and acknowledgment, as I am widely recognized and esteemed.

You fools got a lot nerve
You individuals possess a significant amount of audacity.

Trying to front on Tone
Attempting to deceive or challenge me, Tone.

Lotta hate in your blood
There is a considerable amount of animosity ingrained within you.

I don't get it at all
I simply cannot comprehend the reasons behind such hostility.

Lotta things that I've done
I have accomplished numerous achievements.

You ain't did 'em at all
However, you have not accomplished any of them.

I show love not hate
My actions demonstrate affection rather than animosity.

It's better and more G
This approach is superior and aligns with a genuine, authentic persona.

Even support those
I even provide assistance to individuals

Who never support me
Who, despite that, never reciprocate their support towards me.

Think what you want
Feel free to hold any opinions you desire.

We ain't on it the same
However, our perspectives and priorities significantly differ.

Even though I'm known
Despite being renowned,

Never wanted the fame
I have never aspired for fame.

I been thru a lot it
I have faced numerous hardships,

Turned part of me cold
Which has caused a portion of my being to become emotionally detached.

But y'all don't want to listen
However, you all refuse to lend an ear to what I have to say.

It's starting to get old
This behavior is becoming repetitive and tiresome.

I spit from my heart and my soul
I convey my thoughts and emotions genuinely and passionately.

It's a gift so I treasure what I do
This talent I possess is invaluable, and I cherish it deeply.

My art is my gold
My artistic endeavors hold immeasurable value to me.

I don't for the dough
I am not motivated by financial gain.

Or to get me a check
Nor do I create for the sole purpose of obtaining a monetary reward.

Unless the money's on the line
Unless there is a financial stake involved,

And you say this is a bet
And you specifically state that this is a wager.

Money can buy a lot
Undeniably, wealth can acquire numerous possessions or experiences.

Yeah this is correct
Indeed, this statement is accurate.

I don't have a lot of money
However, I do not possess a substantial amount of wealth.

But I'm rich in respect
Nevertheless, I am abundantly wealthy in terms of admiration and esteem.

I been making noise like the loudest exhaust
I have been creating a significant impact and garnering attention, comparable to the sound produced by an extremely loud exhaust system.

I was known and earned respect
I had already gained recognition and obtained respect.

Before the album with the Frost
This occurred prior to the release of the album featuring Frost.

It's the Veteran cat that
It is the experienced individual who

The real's endorsing
The genuine and authentic individuals are supporting.

It's real important
This holds a significant level of importance.

That the real's supporting
That these genuine individuals are offering their backing and encouragement.

I'm live from the Bing
I am currently broadcasting from the Bing,

And I'm here reporting
And I am present, providing detailed information.

Something fresh out the box
Something entirely new and innovative.

Like a pair of Jordans
Comparable to a brand new pair of highly sought-after Jordans sneakers.

I say what I feel and
I express my genuine thoughts and emotions,

I ain't shook when I kick it
Without any fear or hesitation.

I'm on a whole 'nother plane
I exist on an entirely different level or mindset.

Without booking a ticket
Without the need to physically travel or go anywhere.

It's two way street
It is a mutual exchange or interaction.

If you looking to get it
If you are seeking to receive it,

If you want some respect
If you desire to be treated with admiration and esteem,

Then you gotta give it
Then you must also give the same in return.

I'll bring it to a MF
I will confront an individual, specifically a disrespectful one.

And he'll catch Doom
And that individual will face severe consequences or punishment.

For thinking it's suite
For mistakenly believing that the situation is favorable or advantageous.

Like a hotel room
Similar to a hotel room.

I can get you touched
I have the ability to cause you physical harm.

It ain't that hard
It is not a difficult task.

Got homies that will sic you
I have acquaintances who will unleash or send them after you,

Like a Saint Benard
Similar to how a Saint Bernard dog would be unleashed or sent after someone.

Not a person in my fam
There is not a single individual among my family members

That you shall harm
That you are allowed to cause any harm to.

I get respect
I receive admiration and esteem

Like the tat on L.L.'s arm
Similar to the level of respect that LL Cool J's tattoo on his arm represents.
