Independent Lyrics by Daniel Vasquez

2019

[Chorus]
Been up in my bag, I don’t got the time to rest up
They chilling at the party, I’m here tryna bring the checks up
No waiting on nobody, got this far by myself
Not depending on anybody, what they scared to do I do myself
Been up in my bag, I don’t got the time to rest up
They chilling at the party, I’m here tryna bring the checks up
No waiting on nobody, got this far by myself
Not depending on anybody, what they scared to do I do myself

[Verse 1]
Been all alone, I never needed no one else
I never needed to be ballin’, never doin’ they stay talkin’
Be the best be the best its embedded in my head
Always tryna stay ahead, don’t really need a lot of bread
Dropping money for these things we don’t need to impress people we don’t even know everything is for a show
Everything is for attention, it’s all for attention
Do anything for likes, retweets or a mention
All I needed was the music, this right here is therapeutic, want my songs hermeneutic picture that ima swing the bat
Yes we differ I don’t need stacks all these rapper don’t do jack
Lemme skip all the chit chat, I’m running up the stats
I can wait at the bottom, all you suckers want it now
All you clowns turnaround when you get to the point of work
All you wanting is the perks, with this music ima go berserk everybody want it first but I’ve been playing in the game patience

[Chorus]
Been up in my bag, I don’t got the time to rest up
They chilling at the party, I’m here tryna bring the checks up
No waiting on nobody, got this far by myself
Not depending on anybody, what they scared to do I do myself
Been up in my bag, I don’t got the time to rest up
They chilling at the party, I’m here tryna bring the checks up
No waiting on nobody, got this far by myself
Not depending on anybody, what they scared to do I do myself

[Verse 2]
Barely giving time to the people that I love
Yea I’ve been so independent am I forgetting what’s important now?
My life could be shortened right now or anytime soon
I’m tryna make the best of it, I’m tryna reinvest in it
Been a work-a-holic and I’m only 18, now I’m worried in the future ima be too attached
To this passion handicapped to my feelings gotta keep intact the faith I can’t ever be someone that I’m not (no I can’t!)
If you cut me ima bleed it, it’s a lie that I don’t need it
I already guaranteed it, with my life I’m finna preach it
I ain’t never been to hell, but I know what it’s like on earth
Already promised nowhere close ima never get told myself better not forget
I suppress everything that’s pushing down on me to fall
Without God ima get demolished, ima become tarnished
Living for the King, that’s why I never cared what they think
I’m living independent, no one else I gotta please!

[Chorus]
Been up in my bag, I don’t got the time to rest up
They chilling at the party, I’m here tryna bring the checks up
No waiting on nobody, got this far by myself
Not depending on anybody, what they scared to do I do myself
Been up in my bag, I don’t got the time to rest up
They chilling at the party, I’m here tryna bring the checks up
No waiting on nobody, got this far by myself
Not depending on anybody, what they scared to do I do myself
