Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, do you know what that mean, mane?
I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, do you know what that mean?

She got her own house (yeah)
She got her own car (yeah)
Two jobs work hard, you a bad broad
If you ain't on sit down
If you ain't on sit down
If you ain't on sit down
If you ain't on sit down

I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, do you know what that mean?
Baby Phat just relax, front ya own flat screen
Back rubs cook, clean and don't make her make a scene
When you call her on her cellular
She tell she don't need
Not a goddamn thing, you a hot damn thing
If you think you finna get her wit' a goddamn chain
You insane, boy, you betta get some goddamn change
She a fool, been to school, even walked across the stage
And she say, "I love Webbie from his looks to his ways"
The stilletos, the J's, depend on how the weather look
Flip flops, slippers, just to show off the pedicure
Flip flop niggas depend on how the cheddar look
She'll buy her own, I don't think she 'll never look
In a man face standin' waitin' for him to take care of her
She'll rather go to work and pay the bills on schedule

I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, do you know what that mean, mane?
I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, do you know what that mean?

She got her own house (yeah)
She got her own car (yeah)
Two jobs work hard, you a bad broad
If you ain't on sit down
If you ain't on sit down
If you ain't on sit down
If you ain't on sit down

She a dome dime diva, gutta like Keisha
Work that meter, she a good freaker
She stay on her shit, she got her own shit
She don't never trip, all she want is that dick
She bossy, flossy, keep them hoes off me
Gutta, lil' slang, mane, I love when she talkin'
A independent chick, do you know what that mean?
She cook, she clean, never smell like onion rings
22s on her whip, oh, she do it large (do it large)
And she break a nigga off, got a nigga spoil (got a nigga spoil)
She a bad lil' chick, a fly lil' chick
Hit me on my phone, she like to buy that dick
Got her stunna shades, lookin' like something (lookin' like something)
Stallion, hair long, she a nice something (a nice something)
She like to go to the mall every day for a outfit
Hair did, nails did, independent what she call that

I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, do you know what that mean, mane?
I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, do you know what that mean?

She got her own house (yeah)
She got her own car (yeah)
Two jobs work hard, you a bad broad
If you ain't on sit down
If you ain't on sit down
If you ain't on sit down (Boosie Badazz)
If you ain't on sit down

She got her own house, drive her own whip
Range Rover all white like her toe tips
She got a pretty smile, smell real good
Only time she need man for that good jugg
They buy the bar too, they superstars too
They be like, "You ain't got no money? Take your broke tail home"
In Baby Phat they on, they clothes match they phone
They be like, "Yeah" (that's my shit) when they song come on
Leave the club kinda early cause they gotta go to work (bye girl)
I mess wit' supervisors who got credit like Big Turk
So dusty feet, please don't bother me
I got independent dimes on my mind who spoil me
Gucci hat, Gucci fit so sick
That's a gift from my independent chick, yessir
Try to get next to her, gotta be yourself, man
'Cause she got her own money, she don't need no help man, Boosie

I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, do you know what that mean, mane?
I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, do you know what that mean?

She got her own house (yeah)
She got her own car (yeah)
Two jobs work hard, you a bad broad
If you ain't on sit down
If you ain't on sit down




If you ain't on sit down
If you ain't on sit down

As a 33 yr old adult woman, this song has never meant more. NO ONE in the rap industry did a song about women for women with such respect. They absolutely nailed it. Thanks webbie

@westindians882

and this is why the black family is broken.

@macmuller3502

no, never, not a second one....hold on. Sec..Pac...SecPac? Whats this dudes name again?

@sora4440

I can name 5 off the top of my head. You just don't listen to alot of hip hop...

@hutchphilpot6870

Holy sh*t you’re smoked. Bc there’s no way you’re being serious. 🀣

So we are going to pretend 2Pac’s β€œkeep ya head up” doesn’t exist. It’s THEE women’s respect anthem when it comes to rap.

β€œBrenda’s got a baby”. β€œDear Mama”. I’m 32 so I know how you had to hear these growing up.
That’s just 2pac. I’d be here all day listing rap songs that support women in a more positive light. Sh*t I’ve seen everything now.

@carloscorona869
