How you gonna get respect?
You haven't cut your process yet
How you gonna get respect?
You haven’t cut your process yet

Now first of all, my soulful brothers, you can't be someone else
You're Black and you’re beautiful, this I know
Just being your natural self
So get that mess out of your hair and wear your natural 'do
And I'm gonna bet on my dear life, respect gonna come to you
Alright

How you gonna get respect?
You haven't cut your process yet
(Sing it, sister, sing it)
How you gonna get respect?
You haven't cut your process yet

Now years ago, I thought it was hip when process first arrived
It's a new day now, time has changed
And I wanna be identified
Everywhere I go, I see brothers, getting in their natural bag
And I feel so proud to see this pride
Something that we never had

How you gonna get respect?
You haven't cut your process yet
How you gonna get respect?
You haven't cut your process yet
