"Independent" lyrics

Ya, ya, ya, ya
Fuck a label independent ima do it all
I don't need a co-sign yo fuck 'em all
Why give a percentage for fuck anything
Already gave the game a damn wedding ring
And I me-me-me-me-meant it from the heart
A jack of all trades guess I'm jackin' off
A little asshole and chauvinistic
But got a little money and a pot to piss in
So really I just see it as I'm optimistic
Ain't no fuckin' way I'll be another statistic
I made it in a way that you can buy into my visions
Stop and listen to the shit you've been conditioned to overrate
And take a look at all the independent juggernauts
I'm a fan of all the people with a long shot
Steph Curry on a record exec
We are the framers of the industry don't ever forget
I'm puttin' on myself
And I don't need your help
Took a long shot stay to my freeway
Told 'em all to clear the way for my runway
Takin' off on the strength of my wordplay
On my independent hustle

Tell me what this independent really mean to you
It means put the footwork and don't come to you
I count all my blessings and I hope you do to
I get out and get it, don't worry bout others, do you nah
When it comes I do it, ima live for me
You only live one life that's why I'm out here, fuck sleep
The smell of early mornings (yeah) steppin' out the tele (yeah)
I got a blunt twisted up to get me right, you feel me (yeah)
The world is yours to do what you got to each your hustle
Man fuck them ain't nobody throw the beat down, rain and snow I got ya
Can you even feel it now?
You gotta get out and get it through the ups and downs
You gotta steady work hard (to get your hustle)
Man Overtime I just don't get it, I think they just don't get it
Can you even hear me now?

In the middle of my mind you'll find
A little voice inside, that I've
Confined but it's time that I let it out
Tell the world that I doubt that they're ready now
Who'd of thought that I'd make it now
Got a lot of anger and I'll take it out
On the motha fuckin' industry that shut me out
They gonna love me how, ain't a puppet now, oh
Tell them all I'm comin' with an army now
Illumni we the motha fuckin' party now
And we're hardly even gettin' started out
600 members around the world, what's that
It's a reason to believe or get the fu-ck back
Believe it when we say we've been innovative
Inundated with haters that hate us for the level of success
Independent mutha fucka it's a way of life
I ain't givin' up a penny for my vocal mic
What you think you can divvy up a hundred racks
Just so I can pay you back times ten, fuck that
I'm my own boss, on my own dime
Tour when I want, on my own grind
Climb up the ladder on the strength of my own ryhme
See you in a city near you, yo Overtime

Tell me what this independent really mean to you
It means put the footwork and don't come to you
I count all my blessings and I hope you do to
I get out and get it, don't worry bout others, do you nah
When it comes I do it, ima live for me
You only live one life that's why I'm out here, fuck sleep
The smell of early mornings (yeah) steppin' out the tele (yeah)
I got a blunt twisted up to get me right, you feel me (yeah)
The world is yours to do what you got to each your hustle
Man fuck them ain't nobody throw the beat down, rain and snow I got ya
Can you even feel it now?
You gotta get out and get it through the ups and downs
You gotta steady work hard, (to get your hustle)
Man Overtime I just don't get it, I think they just don't get it
Can you even hear me now?
