Respected Lyrics

A working class hero.

All he ever wanted was fame.

Without being heavily apart of the game.

Was tired of being blamed.

For everything.

Respected.

Is all he ever wanted to be.

So others could relate and see.

Who he is.

Respected.

All he ever wanted as a musician, a poet, and an everyday man.

Respected.

Is what he wants.

As those fools taunt.

Him for his skills.

Respected.

As he tried to get his points across to the masses.

As those school boys sit behind their desks in their classes.

Seems everyone trashes.

Him.

Just because he's different.

A little smarter, and faster.

Respected.

All he ever wanted to be.

The little guy working to get to the top.

Without selling out.

Respected.

All he ever wanted to be, as he tried to get others to see.

The true reality.

Of how things really are.

As they ridicule him for being an honest movie star.

The men behind closed doors, tried to kill him in that car crash.

As his legs got smashed.

And was brutally injured and lashed.

By those haters.

Respected.

All he ever wanted to be.

So they could understand and maybe see.

His Life, and His Reality.

Respected.

Respected.

Like Bruce Lee.

His Role Model who also inspired him to be.

Free.

And flee.

From the stupidity of styles that made no sense.

Like a bunch that never moves.

So are the arts that never flow.

Respected.

All he ever wanted to be and see.

Others treat him.

Was with Respect.

Instead of Silence and neglect.

Respected.

All he ever needed or wanted.

Respected.

Respected.

Is what he needs to be...
