When duty call, the leader Pep come hard

Try to *** 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, 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 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, 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 yeah hey Salty the V.I.P, you should have stuck with me

What are you stupid? My pockets run deep

So flex the Rolex and the *** 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 ***guise 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

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 Big man? But just understand Uncle Sam know the scam

You'll end up in the can

Singin' a sad song 'cuz you did me wrong

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
