(to be sung to the tune and rhythm of 'Independent Women Pt. 1' by my girls Destiny's Child, to be considered a companion to the original lyrics to 'Survivor' by Beyonce)
(I only imitate the best of the best!)
Question, tell me what you think about me
Don't need no diamonds, and I don't need no rings
Only smell flowers when their time is before me
When their time is over, I get up and leave
Question, tell me what you think about these
Try to control me, I'll just sit here and breathe
Don't need no car, no, I can walk my own trips
Always 50-50 in relationships
The shoes on my feet (Don't need them)
The clothes I'm wearing (Don't need them)
The block I live in (Don't need it)
Cause I depend on me, don't need it
The watch I'm wearing (Don't need it)
The house I live in (Don't need it)
The town I live in (Don't need it)
I depend on me, I depend on me
All the Buddhists who're independent
Throw your hands up at me
All the mamas who don't need dollars
Throw your hands up at me
All the minds who are their own foundation
Throw your hands up at me
All the people who understand me
Throw your hands up at me
Well, whaddaya think?
God loves you! Seek true independence and serenity!
Sincerely,
David S. Annderson
