⸻
[Hook / Intro]
All of my women been independent,
Ain’t worried ‘bout another niccas mentions.
They don’t care about your interest —
When you see her, she don’t even see you,
Get your paper, boo — do you.
Who could be mad at what you do?
Been workin’ way before you finished school —
Ooh, so sexy, yet so cool.
That’s just the way I like it… oooh.
⸻
[Verse 1]
Independent, and she thoughtful too —
Give her a ring, yeah, she deserve that too.
My name 2, but I’m always first, baby.
Know your girl, and know her worth lately.
I been wildin’ lately,
I been blessed since birth — since a baby.
But I still feel cursed…
Last few years been the worst.
So I vow to break that family curse.
Yeah, I talk a lot — but it’s worth the words.
If you love your woman, better listen to her.
Don’t make a mistake you can’t fix or reverse.
⸻
[Bridge]
All I do is work — tryna prove my worth.
Tryna show you that I know your worth.
Tryna ease the stress, relieve the hurt…
But how can I prove it
If you won’t give me a chance first?
You said, “I don’t know who you was.”
But I know who I am — and I know what I love.
⸻
[Verse 2]
Tryna be a better man,
Better father to my lil’ kids — never go back to the can again
Tryna reach the sky like Jordan — ‘cause I know I can.
No Jumpman — I don’t jump for nothin’.
And I ain’t runnin’ — I stand on somethin’.
If it’s my love, then I’m fighting for it.
No cappin’ — I don’t lie, I’m honest.
They try to take my freedom,
But I ain’t lettin’ them take nothin’ from me — I’m dreamin’.
⸻
[Outro]
Yeah, I’m money-minded.
In my pockets? Colored money with white faces — yeah, they timeless.
Benji, Franklin, Jackson, Grant —
Pay ya dues, I earned that.
Love your woman, she deserve that.
Hold on to your family…
‘Cause you might not get ‘em back.
Kal
