Independent |
| When duty call, the leader Pep come hard |
| Try to diss my girl Salt, up goes my guard |
| Still feminine, feminine still, yes |
| But then next pump a hundred weight bench press |
| So what it mean, Pep? |
| I’m not impressed |
| 'Cause I wear the pants, and you wear the dress |
| Punk, you’re lovin' stunk, you’re not a hunk |
| This is independent funk |
| And I’m gettin' ready for the year 2000 |
| Independent; |
| yes, I’m housin' |
| Independent; |
| yeah, now watch me |
| Independent; |
| no one can stop me |
| Woman and I am independent |
| I make my own money so don’t tell me how to spend it |
| Cuz you need me, and I don’t need you |
| So listen close, boy, to my independent funk |
| Yeah, can you feel it? |
| Yes, it’s my, it’s my independent funk |
| (Yawn) You’re sleepy, go to bed |
| Wanna step? |
| Go ahead and jet |
| Now wake up from your dreamin' cuz you’re dealin' with the Pep |
| Like Oakley from the Knicks, yes, I’m havin' a ball |
| You think because you’re leaving that I’m gonna take a fall? |
| It was small thing, oooo, it was really too small |
| Livin' large, boy, standing ten feet tall |
| Now my heart won’t dent, keep the money I lent |
| And don’t forget I pay the rent, this is my apartment |
| I’m independent |
| I am independent |
| That’s right I said it, and be damn sure I meant it |
| Cuz a girl like me can have anybody |
| So give my love, boy, to my independent funk |
| Hey |
| Salty the V.I.P., you should have stuck with me |
| What are you stupid? |
| Huh, my pockets run deep |
| So flex the Rolex and the sex that I gave ya |
| In jail with no bail and now nothin' can save ya |
| You want me to visit? |
| I ain’t with it lizard |
| We had magic now ya lost without the love wizard |
| Ya had to cross me, and now you lost me |
| Get off me softy, I’m the boss, see? |
| You can’t disguise the lies in your eyes — you’re not a heartbreaker |
| You’re a fraud, and I’m bored — you’re a fake faker |
| It’s too late to debate with the moneymaker |
| After while, crackhead — see ya later, gator |
| Woman and I am independent |
| I make my own money so don’t tell me how to spend it |
| Cuz you need me, and I don’t need you |
| So listen close, boy, to my independent funk |
| Yeah, so funky, so funky |
| No, no, no more nookie for you cuz I gave ya the boot |
| Go ahead and go in your Yugo, gonna miss the Benz Coupe, hometroop |
| Who’s supportin' ya now? |
| Got a job or do ya rob? |
| I heard you’re sellin' drugs — wow |
| Big man, huh? |
| But just understand Uncle Sam know the scam |
| You’ll end up in the can |
| Singin' a sad song cuz you did me wrong |
| Couldn’t fool me for long, I got it goin' on |
| I’m independent |
| Yes, I am independent |
| That’s right I said it, and be damn sure I meant it |
| Cuz a girl like me can have anybody |
| So give my love, boy, to my independent funk |
| Hey yeah… my independent funk |
| It’s just an independent funk |
| Get with this independent funk |
| You’re a baby so maybe you just needed a babysitter |
| Bitter? |
| I figure I’m rid of a piece of litter |
| Tiger, tigger, I bounce back, and you’re a quitter |
| Your girl is gone for good so just forget her |
| You’re blind, you’ll never find another better |
| Your mind stays on a behind in a tight sweater |
| Burned your flowers and your love letters |
| Never a tear will I shed |
| I’m independent |
| Yes, I am independent |
| I make my own money so don’t tell me how to spend it |
| Cuz you need me, and I don’t need you |
| So listen close, boy, to my independent funk |
| Yeah… |
