Respect

the relationship between teacher and student

Gotta give respect to get it
But how do you give something you haven't got?
how do to know what respect is with out doing wrong first

People expect kids to respect adults because they're experenced, and have prospective on life
But how am I suppose to respect you when I don't know s**t about you?
How am I suppose to give you my undivided attention when your up there on your high horse riding respect you've yet to gain
Respect you haven't earned yet

As kids we're suppose to be a******s and not respect anyone
You gotta give respect to get it
But who's giving
In the battle of teacher vs kids
Who gives respect first
Kids? I think not
Teachers? Nope. To high on their respect horse

So as we sit in class with fake smiles plastered on our faces
We respect
Respect because we both know we don't want to be here
So instead of making each others life hell

We respect.
