Respect

You think I'm arrogant 
when I go head to head,
but I don't want you to just listen...

Go on, say what you said
but this time...prove it!

Come on and act convicted
prove you believe in it.
Impress me with your words.

Respect is what you'll get,
if you equal my stubborness.
You'll get what you deserve.

Don't you dare
even think
to give in to me!

Keep your confident stare,
be frank,
equal me.

Go on:
give me your best shot,
everything that you've got.
Every last ounce,
stir it all around
cuz you're gonna need it
to stand up to me.

No matter what you've got
I'll double it 
and if not...
respect.
