Respect

We must know to expect
To learn to give respect
Not to live and die by the gun
That is not the way it is done
To be able to trust in each other
And not just to see a colour
Because all of you in the end
Are my sister my brother and friend
So when we have the love to give
Then we can look forward and live
So be you in the city or in the hood
Just be that person you know you should
Because we must know to expect
And learn to give respect
