(dallas austin, lisa andquot;left eyeandquot; lopes)
Guys they always wonder about me (yeah, i hear ya andquot;tandquot;)
cause everything i have is my own (iand'm feelinand' dis)
thereand's no other way you can doubt me (and iand'm listeninand')
before i trust you iand'll just be here alone
can i tell ya, can i tell ya, can i tell ya
Gosh golly dern so you still havenand't learned
well iand'll be a damn fool
see cause itand's headaches youand've honestly earned me
youand're jackinand' da plan iand'm like who are you man
peter pan but itand's still cool g
slack off my back slip da hell out
my knee and yo correct dat effect
iand'm not feelin dis g
Chorus:
i can depend on myself
i donand't need anybody else
to be on my back like that, to be on my back like that
Guys they always wonder whatand's with me
(say what, say what, say what)
i never let them get in too close
i have my own control
i canand't be bought or sold
and i never have to do what iand'm told
yo ladies are you feelinand' what iand'm sayinand'
Well smoke okey doke as if this was a joke
cause you think you got balls of the great nand' black jaws
but your leg i will poke like an egg crackinand' a busted yolk
itand's a negative cause i wonand't pause
til you truthfully see are you
listeninand' to me til you truthfully
see indendently like i handle myself
i need nobody else
Chorus
A fist full of fate how much more can i take
this is 6 minus 7 plus 1 ending none you should go to
where iand'm cominand' from take your turn tryna teach
a dumb-dumb so it be just a bad memory
til you truthfully see are you listeninand' to me
til you truthfully see independently
like i handle myself i need nobody else
Chorus
I can depend on myself
