Independent

Ever since I’ve grown up, I realized that
If you really want something, you better work hard for it
There’s just times that where I don’t want nobody’s help
I’m becoming a lone wolf

I don’t want nobody, so y’all can simmer down
I’m very precise on what I want, so I ain’t going down
Y’all can say what y’all want, but nobody is going to control me

Ooh, I’m independent (I don’t want you)
Ooh, I’m independent (I earn my own stuff, boo)

Some think I might go crazy
Not me, because that’s not what I think

I gotta say it again, nobody is ruling me
I call the shots, I am the ruler on my seat

I don’t want nobody, so y’all can simmer down (simmer down)
I’m very precise on what I want, so I ain’t going down (going down)
Y’all can say what y’all want, but nobody is going to control me

Ooh, I’m independent (I don’t want you)
Ooh, I’m independent (I earn my own stuff, boo)
Ooh, I’m independent (I don’t want you)
Ooh, I’m independent (I earn my own stuff, boo)
I don’t want nobody, so y’all can simmer down
If you’re talking about me, it’s going to come around
I’m just my own person, I got my own sound
Don’t get mad at me, I’m independent

I don’t want nobody telling me what to do
What to wear, what to sing, what to say, or think
I’m not letting nobody control me
Cause’ I’m independent
I’ll take your support (support)
I’ll ask for help (ask for help)
I’ll ask for help when I really need it (when I really need it)
I want to be in control of myself
Nobody is going to rule me, no

Ooh, I’m independent (I don’t want you)
Ooh, I’m independent (I earn my own stuff, boo)
Ooh, I’m independent (I don’t want you)
Ooh, I’m independent (I earn my own stuff, boo)

I don’t want nobody, so y’all can simmer down (simmer down)
If you’re talking about me, it’s going to come around
I’m just my own person, I got my own sound
Don’t get mad at me, I’m independent

Ooh, Independent
Ooh, Independent
Ooh, Independent
Ooh, Independent
