Independent Lyrics - Blacks' Magic - Salt N Pepa

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 

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, 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 yeah hey 

Salty the V.I.P, you should have stuck with me 

What are you stupid? 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 

Big man? 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 I'm pretty 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, 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, yeah
