Respect Lyrics - Lucky Dube

When you flash that badge
You want everyone to shiver
When you flash that badge
You want everyone to worship you
I have no time to worship human kind
I only worship the All Mighty
Through his prophets I have learn
To give respect to everything he created
I give love to those who gimme love
Love those who gimme war
I love those who hate me
I bless even those who curse me year x 2

Chorus
Gimme gimme respect
Show me show me respect.

You could be the president
You could be his deputy
You don't even have to know
My political affiliation
You don't even have to know
My religious affiliation
Respect me, for who I am
And not what I am
Nobody even cares about your dollars
Nobody even cares about your bling bling

Give love to those who give you love
Love to those who hate you
Bless even those who curse you, yeah x 2

Chorus
Gimme respect
Show me show me respect

Chorus till fade.

Lucky Dube

May yo soul rest in internal peace

We shall greatly miss you and praying that we meet in heaven.

Though we hear that Satan had seven voices,if he was there I dont think he was going to reach your standard.

Lucky Dube must be remembered for his inspirational songs. | Reviewer: Smart Atta Frimpong Emmanuel | 12/9/11

Lucy Dube I will say was my role model since infancy because infact his songs realy inspired and multivated me.There is one of his songs that I normaly used to sing for my mom for the most wonderful things she has been doing in my life and that is Hold On .
My friends used to call me Dube because of the way I sing his songs sometimes to their hearing.Infact LUCKY DUBE has helped me with his songs!

THE IRON FOR THE CHANGE | Reviewer: BARAKA SWILLAH I | 6/9/11

Families are collapsing,people have no natural affection,quarter are money lovers,three quarters are man eaters and law breakers,world reality has gone.What to revive for is respect,love and unity.By working through those,world will become a better place to live.Long live Dube's thoughts.BY BARAKA SWILLAH-FROM MBEYA-TANZANIA.

The vacuum in me | Reviewer: nformi joan | 5/16/11

the vacuum lucky dube's death has created in me is like that of my late brother nformi ian, who introduced me to lucky dube's rhythms. this gap will never be filled. i am staunch fan of his music and whenever i listen to any of his songs contained in his 21 albums, i always draw a message.
may Dube's soul rest in perfect peace while his assassins await God's final judgement.
Joan.

respect | Reviewer: tebogo samuel tshakuma | 11/25/09

I am humbled by the song, i feel that some people where sent to this planet to shine the light on us or share the light they posses within them with us. If people in general can really respect others and forget about worhtless egos, the world will be heaven on earth. we won't experience unfairness that is happening in this world, politicians looting their countries, former colonialists looting resources from our continent. children will not go hungry anymore, good education will not only be for the rich, every child in this world will be given a chance he/she deserves. Let's respect God's creation amd his creatures. Rest in peace lucky Dube, i know you are in heaven and you have planted the seed of love and respect, we will continue to grow it. Thanks.
