"I love her cause she got her own"
-Neyo
Every so often an artist comes out with a song that motivates women to aim to be the "Independent Woman." And I'm all for it. It's good to see a female who has worked her way up society's standards of success without the reliance on a man. However, after listening to both of Neyo's new songs, "Miss Independent" and "She Got Her Own," I'm starting to wonder if this is just a ploy to get ladies to begin "trickin" since "they got it"?
Honestly, the lyrics continually repeating, "It's coo, I got it" has to be some sort of voodoo/subliminal message to inspire more women to take care of their significant other's bills, expenses, and/or checks. Why do I think, "her favorite thing to say, don't worry I got it"is going to soon turn into his favorite thing she says. I'm definitely not knocking Neyo's effort to glorify the independence of a women but even Beyonce implies in "Upgrade You," "anything [he]you cop[s] I'll split the bill." Dividing the expenses sounds much more reasonable. How come it can't be cool to be an independent women yet still get half way treated out on a date? Or why isn't there a mutual understanding that in any case if an established man and woman are dating they should make it equal by splitting the check like Beyonce and Jay-Z would? Hey, thats still an upgrade!
I want to be an independent woman. But as of now, I am claimed on my mothers taxes and probably will be for as long as she can stretch it. I go to college to someday purchase everything on my own. Depending on a man is definitely not an option. However, taking a man out and buying him all his "new new shit" is not an option either. I am a firm believer in equality. And although men have had it tough for many centuries when it comes to being the "bread winner," they should still understand the consequences of allowing their "independent queen" to take care of everything. Soon men will have to take care of the children, the house, and they will become burdened with trying to stay pretty for their women. Just Kidding!! But just split the check got damnit! All problems will be solved, trust me.

I agree they getting too out of hand. Most of this most music has the biggest influence on females of college age and under and we cant even provide for ourselves yet you know so how about being so attracted to us and loving us because we are motivated and determined to succeed and that making him want to provide for us not provide but to treat us from time to time at the same time we as females do need to understand that males might also not be in a financial situation in which they can pay for everything but before that guy gets his girl he should be trying to treat her and show her that he wants to show him how special she is to him by sacrificing once they are together it should be more equal but keeping the sparks flying it would be nice for the guy to go out of his way to try and do more than the girl if he can afford to cause like chris rock said "d*** is free but you have to pay for p***y " sorry but thats just the way it is not necessarily pay with money but he has to do more than the female to get with the girl...well i dunno bout now or as women get older cause there are more women than men in the world and yeah butttt i may be some what old school but i like me some chivalry i mean if we both working and stuff but im always gonna put the kids n family first while men tend to put career first i better at least get some romance n all that stuff
this reminds me how in all the videos a while back..the girl would be putting her hands in a shape to ask for a stack of cash..now you got all the little girls doing that shit..music has too much influence over our culture..bitch get your own..and dont spend it on no nigga!!haha
