(dallas austin, lisa "left eye" lopes)

Guys they always wonder about me (yeah, i hear ya "t")
cause everything i have is my own (i'm feelin' dis)
there's no other way you can doubt me (and i'm listenin')
before i trust you i'll just be here alone
can i tell ya, can i tell ya, can i tell ya
Gosh golly dern so you still haven't learned
well i'll be a damn fool
see cause it's headaches you've honestly earned me
you're jackin' da plan i'm like who are you man
peter pan but it's still cool g
slack off my back slip da hell out
my knee and yo correct dat effect
i'm not feelin dis g
Chorus:
i can depend on myself
i don't need anybody else
to be on my back like that, to be on my back like that
Guys they always wonder what's with me
(say what, say what, say what)
i never let them get in too close
i have my own control
i can't be bought or sold
and i never have to do what i'm told
yo ladies are you feelin' what i'm sayin'
Well smoke okey doke as if this was a joke
cause you think you got balls of the great n' black jaws
but your leg i will poke like an egg crackin' a busted yolk
it's a negative cause i won't pause
til you truthfully see are you
listenin' 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 i'm comin' from take your turn tryna teach
a dumb-dumb so it be just a bad memory
til you truthfully see are you listenin' to me
til you truthfully see independently
like i handle myself i need nobody else
Chorus
I can depend on myself
