featuring Sybil

When duty call the leader Pep come hard
Try to dis 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
Cuz 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 - yeahnow 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 meand I don t need you
So listen closeboyto my independent funk
Yeahcan you feel it?
Yesit s myit s my independent funk

Yawn You re sleepygo 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 KnicksyesI m havin a ball
You think because you re leaving that I m gonna take a fall?
It was small thingooooit was really too small
Livin largeboystanding ten feet tall
Now my heart won t dentkeep the money I lent
And don t forget I pay the rentthis is my apartment
I m independent

I am independent
That s right I said itand be damn sure I meant it
Cuz a girl like me can have anybody
So give my loveboyto my independent funk
Hey...

Salty the V.I.P.you should have stuck with me
What are you stupid? Huhmy 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 meand now you lost me
Get off me softyI m the bosssee?
You can t disguise the lies in your eyes - you re not a heartbreaker
You re a fraudand I m bored - you re a fake faker
It s too late to debate with the moneymaker
After whilecrackhead - see ya latergator

Woman and I am independent

Cuz you need meand I don t need you

You ll end up in the can
Singin a sad song cuz you did me wrong

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
TigertiggerI bounce backand you re a quitter
Your girl is gone for good so just forget her
You re blindyou 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

YesI am independent
I make my own money so don t tell me how to spend it
Cuz you need meand I don t need you
So listen closeboyto my independent funk
