"RESPECT" lyrics
One in a million the way that I'm feeling
I know that I'm doing my best
I never tried to go fit in I'd rather be different
And do what they couldn't expect
I take a look at the ceiling and don't see a limit
I'm ready for what's coming next
I never cared 'bout the fame or the credit
I only be coming to get my respect
Working from Monday to Monday
I put in the effort I know it'll pay
Nobody ever been giving me nothing
I got it myself, it's better the way
Been putting food on the table for everyone 'round me
I know that I cannot escape
Always been tryna do more than I thought
I know that I'm getting better by the day
Coming alive when the sun down
I work when they sleep, I gotta get it done now
Tryna get a head full of no doubt
I look at my life, can't believe how it turned out
Know that my whole fam been proud
I did it for them, all the times they showed out
I cannot change up what I been doing
I'm back to the grind 'cuz I cannot slow down
One in a million the way that I'm feeling
I know that I'm doing my best
I never tried to go fit in I'd rather be different
And do what they couldn't expect
I take a look at the ceiling and don't see a limit
I'm ready for what's coming next
I never cared 'bout the fame or the credit
I only be coming to get my respect
Tryna just live in the moment
And not think about what could happen in life
Wake up at eight in the morning
I'm already going
I been taking my own advice
Letting the world just play out around me
Lately I feel like I'm rolling the dice
Walking the path inside of the tunnel
And lately I'm finally seeing the light
I been locked in on my own lane
Ain't nobody else gon' get up in my way
Can't go back to the old days
I been living good and I know that won't change
No matter what stay focused
Went through all the hard times feeling so hopeless
Now that I'm here and I still been standing
Already know I'm the one who's chosen
One in a million the way that I'm feeling
I know that I'm doing my best
I never tried to go fit in I'd rather be different
And do what they couldn't expect
I take a look at the ceiling and don't see a limit
I'm ready for what's coming next
I never cared 'bout the fame or the credit
I only be coming to get my respect
I know that I'm doing my best
I never tried to go fit in I'd rather be different
And do what they couldn't expect
I take a look at the ceiling and don't see a limit
I'm ready for what's coming next
I never cared 'bout the fame or the credit
I only be coming to get my respect
Working from Monday to Monday
I put in the effort I know it'll pay
Nobody ever been giving me nothing
I got it myself, it's better the way
Been putting food on the table for everyone 'round me
I know that I cannot escape
Always been tryna do more than I thought
I know that I'm getting better by the day
Coming alive when the sun down
I work when they sleep, I gotta get it done now
Tryna get a head full of no doubt
I look at my life, can't believe how it turned out
Know that my whole fam been proud
I did it for them, all the times they showed out
I cannot change up what I been doing
I'm back to the grind 'cuz I cannot slow down
One in a million the way that I'm feeling
I know that I'm doing my best
I never tried to go fit in I'd rather be different
And do what they couldn't expect
I take a look at the ceiling and don't see a limit
I'm ready for what's coming next
I never cared 'bout the fame or the credit
I only be coming to get my respect
Tryna just live in the moment
And not think about what could happen in life
Wake up at eight in the morning
I'm already going
I been taking my own advice
Letting the world just play out around me
Lately I feel like I'm rolling the dice
Walking the path inside of the tunnel
And lately I'm finally seeing the light

Ain't nobody else gon' get up in my way
Can't go back to the old days

One in a million the way that I'm feeling

I take a look at the ceiling and don't see a limit
I'm ready for what's coming next
I never cared 'bout the fame or the credit
I only be coming to get my respect
