Respectness
Seeed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You show respect and I respect you
You protect me, I protect you
And if you need a place to run to
Here's a place you could come to

When you leave the beat?n tracks you might find yourself Inna
Situation where you feel fresh like a beginner
Join us blood brothers, spiritual winners
All you got to do is cut your thumb and sing ya now

Realize the good things anytime
Thou your back against the wall
Focus on the good things anytime
Make the devil fall

You show respect and I respect you
You protect me, I protect you
And if you need a place to run to
Here's a place you could come to

Give me love and I will stand up strong
A true warrior see me burn like an endless fire
But only you can make me carry on
See the wind and the rain wanna make me die out

If I can't trust your word your story worth nothing
Once bitten twice shy my soul gets rotten
And know that you can't get if you don't give something
So never ever stop you have to blaze my fire

Realize the good things anytime
Thou your back against the wall
Focus on the good things anytime
Make the devil fall

You show respect and I respect you
You protect me, I protect you
And if you need a place to run to
Here's a place you could come to

Some in here don't stay there
Drop your bag relax your neck
When times were tough you've taken care
I just react enjoy giving back

You gave me nuff things to share take what you like
Have roots, water and wine
Soul food feeds the mood
We are of the same tribe

Realize the good things anytime
Thou your back against the wall
Focus on the good things anytime
Make the devil fall

You show respect and I respect you
You protect me, I protect you
And if you need a place to run to
Here's a place you could come to

You show respect and I respect you
You protect me, I protect you




And if you need a place to run to
Here's a place you could come to

Isabel John

Yeah, The Reggaeman

Marie Dvorak

This song is completely underrated.

Bassalicious

I like your sir name :)

Thomas Neubauer

Absolut korrekt!

Lock3kindS

They got more music that are underrated. Kids today listen to those mumble rap. This band is the kind of band that even if you don’t understand what the language is, they keep you intoned. Not like what music now is.... you know it’s English they’re saying but can’t understand a thing.

Muse Born

Fills my heart to bursting and such body moving sounds.

Djawni

SOOOOOO UNDERATED
