Salt-N-Pepa - Independent lyrics
[Salt-N-Pepa - Independent lyrics]
When duty call, the leader Pep come hard
Try to diss my girl Salt, up goes my guard
Still feminine, feminine still, yes
But then next pump a
Hundred weight bench press
So what it mean, Pep? I'm not impressed
'Cause I wear the pants
And you wear the dress
Punk, you're lovin' stunk
You're not a hunk this is independent funk
And I'm gettin' ready for the year 2000
Independent yes, I'm housin'
Independent yeah, now watch me
Independent no one can stop me
Woman and I am independent
I make my own money so don't
Tell me how to spend it
Cuz you need me, and I don't need you
So listen close, boy, to my independent funk
Yeah, can you feel it?
Yes, it's my, it's my independent funk
(Yawn) You're sleepy, go to bed
Wanna step? Go ahead and jet
Now wake up from your dreamin' cuz
You're dealin' with the Pep
Like Oakley from the Knicks, yes
I'm havin' a ball
You think because you're leaving that
I'm gonna take a fall?
It was small thing, oooo
It was really too small
Livin' large, boy, standing ten feet tall
Now my heart won't dent
Keep the money I lent
And don't forget I pay the rent
This is my apartment i'm independent
I am independent that's right I said it
And be damn sure I meant it
Cuz a girl like me can have anybody
So give my love, boy, to my independent funk
Hey
Salty the VIP, you should have stuck with me
What are you stupid? Huh, my pockets run deep
So flex the Rolex and the sex that I gave ya
In jail with no bail and
Now nothin' can save ya
You want me to visit? I ain't with it lizard
We had magic now ya lost
Without the love wizard
Ya had to cross me, and now you lost me
Get off me softy, I'm the boss, see?
You can't disguise the lies in your
Eyes - you're not a heartbreaker
You're a fraud
And I'm bored - you're a fake faker
It's too late to debate with the moneymaker
After while, crackhead - see ya later, gator
Woman and I am independent
I make my own money so don't
Tell me how to spend it
Cuz you need me, and I don't need you
So listen close, boy, to my independent funk
Yeah, so funky, so funky
No, no
No more nookie for you cuz I gave ya the boot
Go ahead and go in your Yugo
Gonna miss the Benz Coupe, hometroop
Who's supportin' ya now?
Got a job or do ya rob? I
Heard you're sellin' drugs - wow big man
Huh? But just understand Uncle
Sam know the scam you'll end up in the can
Singin' a sad song cuz you did me wrong
Couldn't fool me for long
I got it goin' on i'm independent
Yes, I am independent
That's right I said it
And be damn sure I meant it
Cuz a girl like me can have anybody
So give my love, boy, to my independent funk
Hey yeahmy independent funk
It's just an independent funk
Get with this independent funk
You're a baby so maybe you
Just needed a babysitter
Bitter? I figure I'm rid of
A piece of litter
Tiger, tigger, I bounce back
And you're a quitter
Your girl is gone for good so just forget her
You're blind
You'll never find another better
Your mind stays on a behind
In a tight sweater
Burned your flowers and your love letters
Never a tear will I shed i'm independent
Yes, I am independent
I make my own money so don't
Tell me how to spend it
Cuz you need me, and I don't need you
So listen close, boy, to my independent funk
Yeah
