I-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t do you know what that mean?
She got her own house

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
I-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t do you know what that mean?
Baby Phat just relax
Front your own flat screen
Back rub, cook, clean, man don't make her make a scene
When you call her on her cellular
She tell you she don't need not a got damn thang
You a hot damn thang
If you think you finna get her wit a got damn chain
You insane, boy you better get some goddamn change
You a fool, been to school
Even walked across the stage
And she say I love webbie
From his looks to his ways
The stilettos, the J's depend on how the weather look
Flip flop slippers just to show off the pedicure
Flip flop niggaz 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 mayne?

She don't neva trip 'cause all she want is that dick
She bouncy, flossy keep them hoes off me

Got a nigga spoiled

A fly lil' chick
Hit me on my phone she like to buy that dick
Got her stunna shades on lookin' like sumthin'
Stallion hair long she a nice sumthin'
Like to go to the mall er'day for an outfit
Hair did, nails did, independent what she call it

Range Rover all white, like her toe tips
She got a pretty smile, smell real good
Only time she need a man for that good jug
They buy the bar too, they superstars too
They be like you ain't got no money take yo broke tail home
In Baby Phat they on, they clothes match they phone
They be like 'yeah!' When they song come on
Leave the club kinda early 'cause they gotta go to work
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 yes sir!
Tryna get next to her gotta be yaself mayne
'Cause she got her own money, she don't need no help mayne

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

@macmuller3502

@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 youβre smoked. Bc thereβs no way youβre being serious. π€£
So we are going to pretend 2Pacβs βkeep ya head upβ doesnβt exist. Itβs THEE womenβs respect anthem when it comes to rap.
βBrendaβs got a babyβ. βDear Mamaβ. Iβm 32 so I know how you had to hear these growing up.
Thatβs just 2pac. Iβd be here all day listing rap songs that support women in a more positive light. Sh*t Iβve seen everything now.
@carloscorona869
What 2pac has Numerous you know nothing about music this song is a joke
@katesirneelia2102
