The Qemists
No Respect
[Verse 1]
Uh! Yo
You think I need a shoulder to cry on
When I can cry on my own
I am a lone ranger; I'mma die on my own
You see them acting like I need them
They ain't deep but they're demons
This is dungeons, dragons, pagans and heathens

Even old friends scheming, I can't believe it
Messages have been sent, it's like they can't receive it
So I'm kept in suspense as long as my heart is beating
I won't even let them attempt

[Pre-Chorus]
So don't forget when they showed you no respect
When they showed you no respect
When they showed you no respect
No respect

[Chorus]
They showed you no respect
What kept you driven then?
What kept you going in the ring
And getting back up to fight for a different end?
They showed you no respect
What kept you driven then?
What kept you going in the ring
And getting back up to fight for a different end?

[Verse 2]
Needs I ain't short of
There isn't a way to make peace I haven't thought of
Eyes talk cheap 'cause when I speak calls cost
Now they wanna see me on a leash like a bulldog
I kiss me teeth, I walk off, try and see it from this point of view
You really think your chosen when they point at you, it's true
But sometimes what you love can destroy you too so go ahead
Show me a human that has been loyal to, you know the rest

[Pre-Chorus]
So don't forget when they showed you no respect
When they showed you no respect
When they showed you no respect
No respect

[Chorus]
They showed you no respect
What kept you driven then?
What kept you going in the ring
And getting back up to fight for a different end?
They showed you no respect
What kept you driven then?
What kept you going in the ring
And getting back up to fight for a different end?

[Hook]
So understand, I never had the upper hand
I stood in places where they could never come and stand
I looked in faces they couldn't read
I took the grave shift for the grands

So understand, I never had the upper hand
I stood in places where they could never come and stand
I looked in faces they couldn't read
I took the grave shift for the grands

So understand, I never had the upper hand
I stood in places where they could never come and stand
I looked in faces they couldn't read
I took the grave shift for the grands

[Chorus]
So don't forget when they showed you no respect
When they showed you no respect
When they showed you no respect
No respect
They showed you no respect
What kept you driven then?
What kept you going in the ring
And getting back up to fight for a different end?

They showed you no respect
What kept you driven then?
What kept you going in the ring
And getting back up to fight for a different end?
