ANTI-BULLYING PROGRAM: "RESPECT"

This lesson is dealing with one of Granada's "4R's" RESPECT.

The first R is BE RESPECTFUL
to yourself, your parents, your teachers, your school, others and their property.

A group called the Staple Singers recorded this song called:

      Respect Yourself Lyrics
If you disrespect anybody that you run into
How in the world do you think anybody's s'posed to respect you
If you don't give a heck 'bout the man with the Bible in his hand
Just get out the way, and let the gentleman do his thing
You the kind of gentleman that want everything your way
Take the sheet off your face, boy, it's a brand new day

Respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na
Respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself

If you're walking 'round thinkin' that the world owes you something cause you're here
You goin' out the world backwards like you did when you first come here
Keep talkin' about the President, won't stop the air pollution
Put your hand on your mouth when you cough, that'll help the solution
Oh, you cuss around women and you don't even know their names
And you dumb enough to think that'll make you a big ol' man
Respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na
Respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself, respect yourself
