T'Swan - Respect Lyrics

Yeah
I ain't never been one for flexin'
Gold ring, gold watch, gold necklace
If it came down to it, no question
I would rather be well-respected
I ain't never been one for flexin'
Gold ring, gold watch, gold necklace
If it came down to it, no question
I would rather be well-respected

Voice for the young males, here's the message
Been puttin' songs out since 2011
I know people who be lying on they records
I don't think that I could ever be that desperate
I still never owned an expensive necklace
But I know my whole mind is a goldmine
I still never got to flex a Rolex
But the voices in my head are telling me that "it's your time"
Never got to have a chef in the crib
But everybody in my team brings something to the table
I may not have a band to spend
But musically, me and my dawgs'll kill it on stage though

Now I ain't never been one for flexin'
Gold ring, gold watch, gold necklace
If it came down to it, no question
I would rather be well-respected
Now I ain't never been one for flexin'
Gold watch, gold ring, gold necklace
If it came down to it, no question
I would rather be well-respected

I never wore no True Religion, but I got good genes
I'm not a baller yet but still I got a good team
Never wore a grill but what's comin' out my mouth is worth platinum
Barely gettin' booked but this only the first chapter
I got the dopest lines but I don't be holdin' weight
Or buyin' Gucci belts lettin' my money go to waste
I got all this drive but I never rode a Wraith
Never copped no Balmain but I'll never drop the ball, mane
I never signed to a major but you know the deal
I just want people to label me as so for real
I never took a man's life but you're damn right
I should probably be on death row for every flow I kill

I ain't never been one for flexin'
Gold ring, gold watch, gold necklace
If it came down to it, no question
I would rather be well-respected
I ain't never been one for flexin'
Gold ring, gold watch, gold necklace
If it came down to it, no question
I would rather be well-respected

Yeah
Well-respected
