Lucky Dube - Respect

Lucky Dube's song "Respect" is a great motto for one's life - if you ask me.
(Although I am in no way at all a god-fearing man, I love this song with all my heart.)
(I placed this in the music category, but it could be in a lot of other ones too, like: Politics, Activism and Education.)

Especially this part:
"I give love to those who gimme love,
Love those who gimme war.
I love those who hate me,
I bless even those who curse me, yeah."
It's hard to live up to, you struggle every day when you watch the news.
But even trying is to, is a good thing.
The day he died they played that part on the radio, that was the 1st time I heard it. And the first time I heard of him.
It got to me right away, I had tears in my eyes when I heard how he died.

That's why it's the first song I've uploaded and it's been featured on my profile ever since I heard it.

Now the beautiful lyrics (from www.lyricstime.com) of this song:

When you flash that badge
You want everyone to shiver
When you flash that badge
You want everyone to worship you
I got no time to worship human kind
I only worship the All Mighty
Through his prophets I have learned
To give respect to everything he created
I give love to those who gimme love
Love those who gimme war.
I love those who hate me
I bless even those who curse me yeah x 2

Chorus
Gimme gimme respect
Show me show me show me respect.

You could be the president
You could be his deputy
You dont even have to know
My political affiliation
You dont even have to know
My religious affiliation
Respect me, for who I am
And not what I am
Nobody even cares about your dollars
Nobody even cares about your bling bling

Five love to those who give you love
Love to those who give you war.
Love those who hate you
Bless even those who curse you, yeah x 2

Chorus
Gimme Gimme respect
Show me show me respect

Chorus till fade.
