Cha cha cha ching,
Don’t need a diamond ring,
'Cause I only need me,
Yeah, it pays to feel free,
Don’t need nobody else,
I’m good all by myself,
Do what I want, when I want,
I do it so well.

Born to be independent,
If I want it, I’ma get it,
Just something in my genetics,
If I wanna, I’ma spend it,
Born to be independent,
If you wanna learn a lesson,
Get your bag and then finesse it,
Let me show you how to get it,
Independent.

We want it, we get it,
We’re so independent,
So flaunt it, finesse it,
We’re so independent.

Yeah, if they’re dragging your name,
Please don’t care what they say,
Won’t say it to your face,
'Cause they’re so afraid,
'Cause we got what we need,
And we’re out of their league,
They won’t admit that they’ve been staring jealously.

Born to be independent,
If you wanna learn a lesson,
Get your bag and then finesse it,
Let me show you how to get it,
Independent.

We want it, we get it,
We’re so independent,
So flaunt it, finesse it,
We’re so independent.

Can’t break my stride,
Yeah, I’m dressing to the nines,
Get on my level, or you better run and hide,
Strut in the light, show 'em what you got tonight,
Don’t be a hater, see you later, bye,
Don’t kill my vibe,
Don’t kill my vibe.

Yeah, you talk, talk, talk, talk,
But don’t walk, walk the walk,
Got no reason for being the way that you are,
Yeah, you’re hating the game,
But, babe, you love to play,
So I’ll be me, you be you,
Just get out my way.

Can’t break my stride,
Yeah, I’m dressing to the nines,
Get on my level,
Or you better run and hide,
Strut in the light,
Show 'em what you got tonight,
Don’t be a hater, see you later, bye,
Don’t kill my vibe.

Don’t kill my vibe,
You can’t break me,
You can’t shake me,
Kill my vibe,
And you’ll be sorry,
Try me, hate me, but don’t you blame me,
Kill my vibe,
And you’ll be sorry.

Can’t break my stride,
Yeah, I’m dressing to the nines,
Get on my level, or you better run and hide,
Strut in the light, show 'em what you got tonight,
Don’t be a hater, see you later, bye,
Don’t kill my vibe,
Don’t kill my vibe.
