I-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t do you know what that mean mayne?
I-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t do you know what that mean?
She got her own house
She got her own car
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 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?
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
If you ain't on, sit down

She a dome dime diva
Gutta like Keisha
Work that meter
'cause she a good freaka
'cause she stay on her shit
She got her own shit
She don't neva trip 'cause all she want is that dick

She bouncy, flossy keep them hoes off me
Gutta lil slang man, I love when she talkin'
A independent chick, do you know what that mean?
She cook, she clean, neva smell like onion rings

22's on her whip
Oh she do it large
When she break a nigga off
Got a nigga spoiled
She a bad lil' chick
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

I-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t do you know what that mean mayne?
I-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t do you know what that mean?

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 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 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

I-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t do you know what that mean mayne?
I-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t do you know what that mean?

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

What 2pac has Numerous you know nothing about music this song is a joke
