Lyrics
What you think about a girl like me?
buy my own car and spend my own money
only ring your celly when i'm feeling lonely
when it's all over please get up and leave
bridge:
please don't call me baby
cause i'll call you
don't mean to hurt you feelings, got a lot to do
cause i'm am my number one priority
no falling in love, no commitment from me
chorus:
all my independent women
throw them hands up at me
and all my sexy women
throw them hands up at me
all my money making women
throw them hands up at me
all my baller women
throw them hands up at me
2nd chorus:
if you feel it
throw them hands up
where them hands at?
if you feel it?
where the ladies?
where my homegirls?
where my females?
where all my women?
How you feel about a girl like this?

buy my own diamonds, and pay my own bills
bridge:
