Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you really want me to believe you really give a shit?
I don't know the answer but the truth lies within
Ask yourself the same question 'cause I'm sick of it, I'm wearing thin
I know what I wanna believe but I'm not opening my mouth 'cause I don't think we're on the same fucking page
Thank you, modern technology, all these people be wanting me in this fucking digital age
What about an introduction before bombarding me with the same old shit? "What about a fucking feature?"
All I seem to wanna put my pen to paper for anymore is just because I'm fucking sick of all these leeches
Uh, show some respect
Oh, you're not worth it (uh)
Go and try to fuck me over, let me teach you some respect
No, this ain't a fucking coffin, make you feeling passionate
Bitch, I got a couple things which where I wanna go with it
Ha, that's a funny joke, do you get the reference?
Numbers, numbers, numbers, all you care about, bitch
I don't see the vision of your shit
Let me tell you, this ain't Matrix, kid
'Cause all these deaths don't mean a thing
Numbers, numbers, numbers, all you care about, bitch (yeah)
I don't see the vision of your shit (fuck)
Let me tell you, this ain't Matrix, kid
'Cause all these deaths don't mean a thing
Numbers, numbers, numbers, all you care about, bitch (fuck)
I don't see the vision of your shit (death)
Let me tell you, this ain't Matrix, kid (no)
'Cause all these deaths don't mean a thing (fuck off)
uh, uh
Dancing with the devil, I guess I'ma swing my metal
You will never reach my level, stand down
As I begin to levitate, your head and neck will separate
You cannot escape from your fate, beg now
uh
Get away from me, you worms
You are worthless, eat the dirt
It's a game 'til you get murked
Guess these losers never learn
Get away from me, you worms
You are worthless, eat the dirt
It's a game 'til you get murked
Guess these losers never learn, ergh
The lyrics of this song, "RESPECT" by ghostofblu, convey a sense of frustration and anger towards individuals who lack respect and genuine intent. The artist questions the sincerity of others' words and actions, demanding to know if they truly mean what they say or if it's all empty talk. They emphasize the importance of introspection, urging listeners to ask themselves the same question.
The artist expresses their disillusionment with the digital age and modern technology, where people seem more interested in using them or collaborating for personal gain rather than establishing a genuine connection. They long for a proper introduction before being bombarded with repetitive and insincere requests. Feeling drained by these interactions, the artist declares they are tired of such opportunistic behavior and vows to channel their frustration through their art.
In the chorus, the artist demands respect and asserts their worth, stating that anyone who tries to manipulate or deceive them will learn a lesson. They challenge their detractors to understand the significance and meaning behind their lyrics, rather than solely focusing on numbers and popularity. The artist draws a parallel to "The Matrix" films, suggesting that the fake deaths and illusions created by the industry are inconsequential. They reject the superficiality of it all and refuse to conform to those standards.
In the final verse, the artist metaphorically describes themselves as "dancing with the devil" and asserting their superiority. They refuse to be brought down or influenced by those they perceive as beneath them, using the imagery of levitating and separating heads and necks to demonstrate their power. The artist dismisses these individuals as "worms" and deems them worthless, suggesting that they will eventually meet their fate. The repetition of the phrase "guess these losers never learn" reflects the artist's belief in inevitable consequences for those who lack respect and integrity.
Overall, the lyrics of "RESPECT" speak to the artist's frustration with insincere individuals and the industry's focus on numbers rather than substance. They demand respect and express their determination to stay true to their own vision and values. The song conveys a sense of strength and defiance in the face of those who seek to take advantage.

Guess these losers never learn
These individuals never seem to acquire wisdom
