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,

Don’t kill my vibe,
Don’t kill my vibe.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Some may call it selfish,
Some might think I'm vain,
Yeah, it took some practice,
To get out my own way,
I tried to be a remedy,
For everybody else,
But now I see,
That energy,
Was tearing me down,
Bent myself over backward,
For things that didn't matter.

No more apologies,
It feels good to be free.

Putting me, putting me first,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Now I know what I deserve,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Only me, myself, and I,
Gonna be my ride or die,
I'm putting me, putting me,
Putting me, putting me first.

It's all about me, me, me, me,
Me, me, me, me,
Me, me, me, me,
Me, me, me, me,
I'm putting me, putting me,
Putting me, putting me first.

Done with hesitating,
No more second place,
I got tired of waiting,
They 'bout to know my name,
Moving from the back seat,
To my hands on the wheel,
No looking in the rearview, babe,
It's only up from here.

Let 'em say what they wanna say,
All their talk is just cheap to me.

No more apologies,
It feels good to be free.

Putting me, putting me first,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Now I know what I deserve,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Only me, myself, and I,
Gonna be my ride or die,
I'm putting me, putting me,
Putting me, putting me first.

It's all about me, me, me, me,
Me, me, me, me,
Me, me, me, me,
Me, me, me, me.
I'm putting me, putting me,
Putting me, putting me first.

I wanna tell you how it goes when I freak out, I wanna,
Tell you how it goes when I freak out,
No blame, no rush,
Just dance around,
Let it loose feel the sound.

No stopping now.

I wanna tell you how it goes when I freak out,
I wanna tell you how it goes when I freak out,
I wanna tell you how it goes when I freak out,
I wanna tell you how it goes when I freak out.

Follow me to,
Sunrise, moonlight,
All day together babe,
All night together babe.
