Verse 1
D
The art of was a woman
But I got my own whips,
own chips, own cribs
And I don't need this shit here
The art of was a woman
To be dependent on you,
A
I'm an independent woman
D
I'm sorry homie that you
The art of was a woman
To just settle for promises
that you never kept
Thought I would fail,
but you won't, cause
It's all because of love
But you've been moving fast,
the truth is you lost
A
D
I paid a cost to do whatever I want, yeah
He thought I was Virgin Mary,
sweet as a nun
A
D
Wanted to marry me with hopes
that I would carry his son
Or his daughter,
F#m
D
A
he thought I oughta stay out of the party
D
Stay in the house,
be lonesome and talk to nobody
F#m
D
Be cooped up for the longest
F#m
D
with nothing but time
A
D
Misery, love, company,
but it ain't no friend of mine
I cooked and cleaned
F#m
D
like a Hebrew slave
A
D
Till I got blisters
A modern -day Ms. Sealy flew,
then he was my mister
But I woke up one day,
started to get real slick
A
D
Called a couple of my friends
with a few scenarios
Felt like I danced with a devil
Didn't wanna be unhappily married
F#m
D
A
No more had to go real quick
Cause it's my time,
D
F#m
and I done made up my mind
D
Shantay, gotta leave you behind
A
D
Forgive my dog,
A
cause half of that's mine
F#m
D
And give my drawer a helper
when it don't get sunshine
You thought I wouldn't make it,
but I'm living proof
Do unto others as you have
F#m
D
motherfuckers do unto you
You thought I wasn't one
But I got my own whips,
own chips, own creds
And I don't need this shit here
You thought I wasn't one
To be dependent on ya,
A
I'm an independent woman
D
I'm sorry homie that you
F#m
D
You thought I wasn't one
F#m
D
To just settle for promises
that you never kept
Thought I would fail, but you won't cause
You thought I wasn't one
But you've been proven false,
A
the truth is you lost
D
I paid a cost to do whatever I want, oh
She was my ace, boom, cool
In high school, we grew up together
You fucked with her, I'd fight you
And vice versa
F#m
D
A
From class to choir rehearsal
D
Totin' book bags,
slayin' them sacks
Beatin' up all the hood rats
Rollin' off with the richest
F#m
D
niggas on the block
A
And bringin' their whips back
D
But things changed
When I started to rap
Jealousy kicked in
She wasn't bein' my friend
She wasn't even lookin' out
when I was down and alone
She ain't even had time
to call me on the phone to say hello
F#m
D
So goodbye, like God,
you'll never get a piece of my love again,
don't try
A
D
My love is everlasting,
F#m
like Tony Terry, I'm very territorial
D
And I'm overprotective
to niggas I love,
A
cause I respect them
D
But not this hella,
she took things in a different direction
A
D
I can't protect her
F#m
when it's said and done, she is
D
I am not the one,
I need loyal buddies,
supportive of me, worried for me
Breaking my trust can get ugly,
A
D
so please don't mistake my
kindness for weakness
F#m
D
As I stalk through the trenches
on this tedious journey
I'm so hot my feet burning
and you keep yearning
A
D
To be a part of my life
F#m
A
but you done fucked it up permanently
D
Now it don't concern me no more
I'm an awesome woman
But I got my own whips,
own chips, own cribs
And I don't need this shit here
I'm an awesome woman
To be dependent on ya
A
I'm an independent woman
D
I'm sorry homie that you
I'm an awesome woman
To just settle for promises
that you never kept
A
D
Thought I would fail, but you won't,
cause I thought I was the one
What you been through been false,
the truth is you lost
A
D
I paid the cost to do whatever I want
A
Yeah
D
A
Said I thought I was the one
D
Thought I was
I said I thought
Thought I was
You thought it was me
A
F#m
D
Yeah
A
D
Em
D
F#m
D
But I got my own whips,
A
D
own chips, own cribs
And I don't need this shit here

D
To be dependent on ya,
I'm an independent woman
I'm sorry, homie, that you
F#m
D
So just settle for promises
A

What you've been through been false,
