ohh whoa ohh....



I respect a man raisin his kids all on his own

I respect a man who makes sure he takes care of home

you gotta respect a man with good judgement

cuz I'll be damned if someones takin care of my kids

and I respect a man who treats his woman like a queen

I know you're not perfect you aint gotta be so mean

no matter how strong she is for a woman

a man should never attempt to lay his hands on her



[BRIDGE:]

There's more to life than what happens an your block

just treat your women right and hold em at the top

gotta raise these kids and teach em, never dont ya stop

you aint no man to me if you let your family starve



[CHORUS:]

Got no respect for them dudes who hit they women and

got no respect for the fools who leave they children and

I just wanna take care of my family

got no respect if you aint trying to do the right thing



Got no respect for them dudes who hit they women and

got no respect for the fools who leave they children and

I just wanna take care of my family

got no respect if you aint trying to do the right thing



I respect the type of girl that tries to love a man

with many flaws and broken laws but still he stands

the kinda girl who turns a boy into a man

the kinda girl who turns a flop into a plan

no respect for those who walk through life just askin you

what you can do for them but still they hate on you

it dont take no man to make that baby

but yes it takes a man to raise that baby



[BRIDGE:]

There's more to life than what happens an your block

just treat your women right and hold em at the top

gotta raise these kids and teach em, never dont ya stop

you aint no man to me if you let your family starve
