Independent Funk Vocal

When duty call, the leader Pep come hard

Try to dis 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

Cuz 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 V.I.P., 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 yeah...my 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
