Respect Me Lyrics


People are gonna respect me if it kills you
People are going to respect me if it kills you
You people are gonna respect me if it kills you
You people are gonna respect me if it kills youYo look, do it how they didn't
Now they really wanna try to do it, but I'm telling them no
I'm in a predicament with imitators
Wanna take my style and other bit of my flowAll this copy cattin' on my lyrics that ya chattin'
Betta stop until the gunshots blow
Do you really want it 'coz I really wanna give it
If you do just let me knowI show arrogance and elegance but no
Tolerance for nonsense I bring
Violence I'm a nuisance
Killer MC leave no evidenceI've got brains and intelligence but no
Conscience no innocence, we roll
In the darkened silence
Represent us in any residenceAnd I swing for your chin with no hesitense
I'ma captain ya betta bring your regiments
And you're a failure don't have no relevence

I'ma champion and a victor prick yaSo not ready so till ya see ya soul
Headed for the golden gates
No really you monkeys are playin' with hate
Not guerilla warfare it's the coppers I carry this stick forPlus I've had enough of these
Lil' cheek comin' from fake MC's
Bad minders and skat ladies
Talkin' about how it used to beWell it's a brand new day, so leave me be
I don't need you so don't need me
Your opinion don't interest me
Don't like me that's fine by me'Coz from Holly street ta Hollywood it's all good
From New York ta your cool it's all cool
You're a fool if ya think I'm gonna cease
Now honestly could there really be peaceIt don't seem that way to tough
Stop with the games I play to rough
You must be smokin' to much puff
Divert or be deceasedUK rapper stabbed in napa
'Coz of gossip 'coz of chatter
He's still breathin' he's still a dapper
Retaliate with gun clapperTruthfully I can't see very well
Don't flatter your self your any girl
Them boy's shoulda said need ta hell
Now prepare for the beastYou people are gonna respect me, I better make you respect me
You people are gonna respect me, I better make you respect me
You people are gonna respect me, I better make you respect me
You people are gonna respect me, I better make you respect meYou people are gonna respect me if it kills you
You people are gonna respect me if it kills youI swear yo, endless speculation I'm facin'
Constant controversial relations
To gun crime at garage events
With so many claims and no evidenceSuggesting I'm the reason
For the UK gun clap season
I'm legal may I stress
To the fool for the sake of strident intelligenceGo ahead check my files all day
Bit of criminal damage and T D A
Might be a little bit of violent disorder
But I ain't never been locked awayGot a few mates that have been convicted
Yes so what it's the hand life dealt them
We weren't blessed with the systems T L C
Government shoulda tried ta help themAny law breaker ain't tryna hide it
As for the sentence ain't tryna ride it
Stop that so I could do this
I'm legit ya may as well kiss myA S S P L E A S E
I'm L E G I T
You ain't got nothin' on meBut to the pricks who think I'm slackin'
Please don't ever be fooled I'm packin'
This is a welcome and it's a warning
Please don't ever just think I'm rappin'You know the score I'm raw from day
Still Dylan the villain from around the way
Feel free to quote anything I say
Please don't ever just think I'm chattin'Gonna respect me, I better make you respect me
You people are gonna respect me, I better make you respect me
You people are gonna respect me, I better make you respect me
You people are gonna respect me, I better make you respect meYou people are gonna respect me if it kills you
You people are gonna respect me if it kills you
Respect meI know what you're thinkin' it's gone to far now in it
Fuck it, if I don't speak who's gonna speak for me
Stand up for myself in this shit, so fuck you, unapologetic
Can't be, never have been, won't be a prickYeah, that's it

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Dylan Mills, known professionally as Dizzee Rascal (born November 1, 1985), is a grime solo artist, formerly a Roll Deep crew member, who emerged from the UK Garage music scene. His music was a blend of garage MCing, conventional rap, grime and ragga, with some more eclectic samples.

Dizzee began MCing on pirate radio and at raves at fifteen, but since his mainstream success he has distanced himself from the fledgling scene. Rascal grew up in the East End of London in south Bow in a council estate, raised by his single mother, a Ghanaian immigrant. Little is known about his father, though it is thought that he died when Mills was two. He attributes his musical development to a school teacher who allowed him to skip regular classes and spend time working on music on the school computers.

His music is an eclectic mixture of garage and hip-hop beats with an extremely broad palette of influences, ranging from metal guitars to found sounds, drill and bass synth lines, eclectic samples and even Japanese court music. His vocal performance is also distinctive, he uses a fast version of rapping (known as 'spitting') which blends elements from garage MCing, conventional rap, grime and ragga.

Dizzee Rascal has numerous rivals within the Grime scene, mainly from the Bow, East London area. A notable rival of Dizzee Rascal is Crazy Titch who produced and recorded a diss called "Just An Arsehole" which used the backing track of Dizzee's record of "Jus A Rascal".

Dizzee Rascal has had international endorsements deals with urban brand Ecko and designed his own shoe with Nike. He has also worked with cross genre artist, Beck, on a remix of the song Hell Yes.

He released his first album in 2003, which was called Boy in da Corner. His second album Showtime was then later released in 2004. His third effort, Maths and English was released in 2007. He experienced commercial success in 2008 when Dance Wiv Me reached the number one spot in the UK charts.
