“Independence Day” is the intro and title track of Fredo’s third studio album. Being backed by a hollowing, somewhat vampiric, instrumental Fredo speaks on his ongoing rivalries, the upwards trajectory of his career as well as the current deal with Sony Music which he reveals to be leaving.

[Intro]
Prosperity, and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me
The sunlight that brought life and healing to you has brought stripes and death to me
This Fourth of July is yours, not mine
[Chorus]
Man get money hella ways, it's not just one way, nigga
It's Wednesday, but I got bae making me Sunday dinner
My niggas rob and drug deal, some grave diggers
He ain't shot shit, but talks it, one lame driller (Lame)
I know labels don't want it to end this way
But I had tell them, "It's Independence Day"
'Cause I'm tryna run it up, talking endless pay
My coke still sells itself, that's independent yay (Yayo)
[Verse 1]
I'm the real deal, but went independent (Man did that), I guess you can call this Independence Day
New Cartier watch that's frozen and the pendant's cray
He died right where he grew up, how did it end this way? (Huh?)
See me chatting with peers
They ain't got shit to show, but they've been trapping for years
Free little V Dots, he was on a stabbing career (Three)
That came with six like a packet of beers
No drinks, these are actual years (Ah)
And I know they wanna end us, hoping prison's where we end up (End)
Put the G-Wagen in S plus, then I give your friends dust
Killer on them verses, plus the boss got them hooks
I meet girls and make them realise they got soft spot for crooks
Meanwhile, my soft spot, that's getting locked and cooked (Locked and cooked)
Judge tried to throw it, but Melo had to dodge the book (Dodge)
Bitches call me handsome, they say I got the goods
But if I go broke, I know they'll say I lost my looks
[Chorus]
Man get money hella ways, it's not just one way, nigga
It's Wednesday, but I got bae making me Sunday dinner
My niggas rob and drug deal, some grave diggers
He ain't shot shit, but talks it, one lame driller (Lame)
I know labels don't want it to end this way
But I had tell them, "It's Independence Day"
'Cause I'm tryna run it up, talking endless pay
My coke still sells itself, that's independent yay
[Verse 2]
Shoutout them AGBs, I've been taking them in (Gang)
I thought BA's guns got signal how he's making it rain
OGs still be living off some works from years ago (Years ago)
But we're some young wild niggas that don't feel that old (Nah)
And, no, I can't be lit alone, gotta watch for the brothers
These days, I lost track of how much watches I've flooded
And lost track of how much guap that I've dropped to my mother
It's April, I'm thinking what watch to cop for the summer (What watch)
I get it in, then get it dropped to my runner
He's baby sitting, no children, he's watching the grubba
Teacher said that you'll make money as a doctor and plumber
But I chose the trap house, now my watch is a stunner (Stunner)
Never really thought I'd be the type that's ballin' (Ballin')
I was on my bike at night, tryna rip up Michael's organs (His organs)
Now I got a room that's strictly fill of Michael Jordans (Jordans)
Put my baby mom in Rolex, no Michael Kors' (Man did that)
[Chorus]
Man get money hella ways, it's not just one way, nigga
It's Wednesday, but I got bae making me Sunday dinner
My niggas rob and drug deal, some grave diggers
He ain't shot shit, but talks it, one lame driller
I know labels don't want it to end this way
But I had tell them, "It's Independence Day"
'Cause I'm tryna run it up, talking endless pay
My coke still sells itself, that's independent yay
