Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
Listen close
Respect ain't requested
It's reflected
[Verse 1]
I don't walk in asking who approves my name
I put work on the table, let the proof explain
Kept my word when the room got thin
Took the long way up, still arrived with a grin
You can raise your voice, that don't make you right
I stay calm, draw a line, keep my aim in sight
Every favor got a limit, every bridge got weight
I won't trade my backbone just to enter your gate
[Pre-Chorus]
You can test the frame, but it won't give way
I was built through the pressure you bring today
No crown in my hand, no need to pretend
I give what I want, and I take my stand
[Chorus]
Earn it, don't demand it
Show me what you stand with
Respect comes back when you put it out
No matter who you are, I won't bow down
Earn it, don't demand it
Hands clean, heart planted
If you cross that line, I can turn around
No matter who you are, I won't bow down
[Verse 2]
I respect every worker with the dust on their shoes
Every parent making ways with a hard choice to choose
Every quiet one who stayed when the loud ones ran
That's the kind of strength I can understand
Not impressed by a title or a room full of yes
If your word falls apart, then your name weighs less
I don't need revenge, I just tighten the door
You can lose my access, can't diminish my core
[Pre-Chorus]
You can test the frame, but it won't give way
I was built through the pressure you bring today
No crown in my hand, no need to pretend
I give what I want, and I take my stand
[Chorus]
Earn it, don't demand it
Show me what you stand with
Respect comes back when you put it out
No matter who you are, I won't bow down
Earn it, don't demand it
Hands clean, heart planted
If you cross that line, I can turn around
No matter who you are, I won't bow down
[Bridge]
No matter the name on the door
No matter the seats in the floor
No matter the size of the crowd
You don't get to talk down now
I won't trade peace for a plea
I know what I bring when I leave
If you want the respect I give
Build something real, then live it
[Final Chorus]
Earn it, don't demand it
Show me what you stand with
Respect comes back when you put it out
No matter who you are, I won't bow down
Earn it, don't demand it
Hands clean, heart planted
Stand firm, keep your feet on the ground
No matter who you are, I won't bow down
[Outro]
Earn it
Don't demand it
Stand firm
That is the standard
