How to respect yourself?
\nWell to start off, pay attention to your own health
\nYour mental and physical
\nYour visual and lyrical<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What does that mean?
\nIt means don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t quantify yourself
\nBy the green (money) in your pockets
\nAnd open your heart to others; don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t lock it.<\/p>\n

Happiness ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a box, you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t unlock it
\nTrue joy is human flourishing; eudaimonia
\nYou can be happy wherever you live, whether Romania or Estonia<\/p>\n

People hating on you?
\nRope a dope it like Jack Dempsey
\nAnd have faith in me, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll keep on rolling with ya<\/p>\n

You get the picture?
\nDon\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t let life break your foundation, even if life\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s earthquakes are off the Richter.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u201d<\/p>\n

To respect yourself
\nHave faith in you
\nNever ask anyone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s opinion of you
\nWhat do you care what they heard of you?
\nYou should have knew, or known all the misconceptions of you
\nBut the only important person to please is you.<\/p>\n

Do you admire you? Do you like you? I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure you do. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nobody else who has been through the same shit as you.<\/p>\n

So when the haters hate, tell them to just \u00e2\u20ac\u0153shoo\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00e2\u20ac\u201d what works for you won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t work for them,
\nNot every single foot fits every single shoe.<\/p>\n

So just stay true
\nTo yourself
\nWho would have known
\nThat you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a king
\nAnd you reign your own throne?
\nYou rule your own Rome<\/p>\n

Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t kill Remus like Romulus
\nLove your own brothers
\nYou\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re part of one another
\nHe is you, and you is him.
\nWhen you win, so does he. Or she. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153you\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153me\u00e2\u20ac\u009d but \u00e2\u20ac\u0153we<\/em>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u201d<\/p>\n

Anyways, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m getting a little off-course.<\/p>\n

To respect yourself, never let anyone talk down on you. If anyone tries to bully you, tell them to fuck off. You ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t so tough, you wanna-be hot-shot.<\/p>\n

To respect yourself, never doubt yourself. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re capable of incredible things, so don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just talk about your ideas. Do them in real life. Even though it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard to hustle, stay tied to your mast. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re fucking top class.<\/p>\n

And life is short. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mope about; have a blast.<\/p>\n

So what are you waiting for? Grab life by the horns, and make it yours.<\/p>\n

BE STRONG,
\nERIC<\/p>\n
