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

This is independent funk 
And i'm gettin' ready for the year 2000 
Independent - yes, i'm housin' 
Independent - yeah, now watch me

So listen close, boy, to my independent funk

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

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

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

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...
