lesson of respect

Title: Lessons of Respect (Verse 1) You think you know the game, but you’re lost in the rules, Playing pretend like you’ve got something to prove. Living in the shadows of the dreams that you chase, You wear your mask tight, but I see through that face. (Pre-Chorus) You talk a big talk, but the words fall flat, Acting like a king, but you’ll never own that. You’re just a wannabe, with no heart to defend, Time to take a stand, I won’t let you pretend. (Chorus) It’s time to give you a lesson in respect, You don’t know the meaning, you’re just a suspect. Loyalty’s a bond that you’ll never understand, Nothing but a punk, you’re lost in your plans. (Verse 2) Remember when you thought you could play both sides? You built your little empire on shallow lies. I saw you rising up, but the truth came to light, While I sharpened my words, you just ran from the fight. (Pre-Chorus) You talk a big talk, but the lies go deep, Promises you break, they’re promises you keep. A façade made of plastic, it’s starting to crack, Watch the walls come down, there’s no turning back. (Chorus) It’s time to give you a lesson in respect, You don’t know the meaning, you’re just a suspect. Loyalty’s a bond that you’ll never understand, Nothing but a punk, you’re lost in your plans. (Bridge) In the echoes of silence, I’ll find my voice, While you drown in the noise, you had no choice. Lessons carved in stone, you’ll never forget, The price of your actions—it’s time to collect. (Chorus) It’s time to give you a lesson in respect, You don’t know the meaning, you’re just a suspect. Loyalty’s a bond that you’ll never understand, Nothing but a punk, you’re lost in your plans. (Outro) Now the tables have turned, you’re out in the cold, The game that you played, it’s all been told. Take a long look back at the life you’ve led, This lesson in respect—let it echo in your head.
