I N D E P E N D E N T do you know what that mean mane (x2)

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 her seen
When you call her on her cellular

Not a god damn thing you a hot damn thing
If you think you finna get her wit a god damn chain
You insane boy you betta get some god damn change
She a fool been in school even walked across the stage
She say I love Webbie from his looks to his ways
The stilletos the jays 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

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
