Overall Meaning

The song "Independent" by Webbie featuring Lil Boosie and Lil Phat is a tribute to self-sufficient women. The lyrics speak of women who have their own houses, cars, and jobs, and do not need a man to take care of them. The acronym "I.N.D.E.P.E.N.D.E.N.T." is repeated throughout the song and emphasizes the importance of being self-reliant. The verses describe different scenarios where a man might approach an independent woman, but she is uninterested unless he has something significant to offer.


The chorus of the song talks about how a woman's independence should earn her the respect of others, and warns men who are not on her level to "sit down." The second verse describes how the independent woman keeps herself looking good, but maintains her dignity by not being too flashy. The bridge of the song describes the kind of lavish lifestyle that an independent woman can build for herself, with a Range Rover, expensive clothes, and plenty of money to spend. The final verse emphasizes that a man trying to win over an independent woman will only be successful if he is genuine and not trying to buy her affection.


Overall, "Independent" is a song that celebrates women who have worked hard to achieve financial independence and who won't settle for less than they deserve.
