[D] [E] [Bm]
[D] [E] [Bm]
If you disrespect everybody that you're running to
On the [Bm] world, do you think [B] everybody's gonna do the same to [Bm] you?
Don't ever hate the man with the Bible in his hand
just getting [Bm] out of the way and let the gentleman do his thing
You're just trying to tell the gentleman that it ain't no way
your shit [Bm] off the face, boy, [B] it's a brand new day
