Wyclef Jean Feat. The Rock & Melky Sedeck - It Doesn't Matter lyrics
rate meYo, this is The Rock kicking it with the Refugee camp<br />
And you're 'bout to smell what the Rock is cookin'<br />
<br />
Yo, this is strictly a club record<br />
Dedicated to everybody who used to stand outside in the cold<br />
When the F L E X was spinnin' at the Red Zone, hooded down<br />
And these tired bouncers would not let me in<br />
YouknowwhatI'msayin'?<br />
<br />
Yo, yo, yo<br />
I got fifty Bentley's in the West Indies<br />
(It doesn't matter)<br />
I got a pocket full of cheese and a garden full of trees<br />
(It doesn't matter)<br />
<br />
I just won the bingo bought a crib in Rio<br />
(It doesn't matter)<br />
'Cuz if you ain't sharin', people ain't carin'<br />
Come up in the hood and they take everything you wearin'<br />
<br />
Back in the days it was all about the clubs<br />
And the so called thugs used to dance the break for love<br />
The girls, they wouldn't say hey<br />
Unless you bought 'em champagne like it was they birthday<br />
Me, I used to stand outside<br />
Hustlin' my way in I'm on the guest list plus five<br />
Who's performin' tonight? He said Shabba<br />
Mister Lover Daddy he be the selector<br />
(Someone jump the Rock's up in here)<br />
<br />
Disrespect emcees and catch a smack in your left ear<br />
Light up like Vegas when it's time to gamble<br />
Girls scream for me like I was part of the Beatles<br />
But I'm not honey, but I could be your Paul McCartney<br />
And "Ebony or Ivory" into my Jacuzzi<br />
Foundation like Kool Herc, or DJ Red Alert goes bezerk<br />
The needle ain't skip the record jerked<br />
'Cuz y'all jumpin' too hard<br />
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)<br />
<br />
I got fifty Bentley's in the West Indies<br />
(It doesn't matter)<br />
I got a pocket full of cheese and a garden full of trees<br />
(It doesn't matter)<br />
<br />
What? I just won the bingo bought a crib in Rio<br />
(It doesn't matter)<br />
Yo, 'cuz if you ain't sharin', people ain't carin'<br />
Come up in the hood and they take everything you wearin'<br />
Yo Rock, I just bought a fresh Bentley<br />
(It doesn't matter you just bought a fresh Bentley)<br />
<br />
How many of y'all ever been to a barbecue<br />
And you always got an aunt or uncle<br />
Wanna show you how the old dances go<br />
And they start it off like this, electric slide on the dance floor<br />
Freaky-deaky like Studio 54, girls, until the IRS raids it<br />
Drug money get converted into music<br />
<br />
The dope man becomes an entertainer<br />
Leave that crack alone, I told the customers<br />
I'm into bigger and better things Mr. Fiend<br />
You want a hit? Give me a guitar and a drum machine<br />
And the crowd will scream loud when the bass thump<br />
I can smell it in the air, the smell is funk<br />
<br />
Excuse me, I gotta cough<br />
Girl, you in so much ice you could freeze New York<br />
You're man must really love you, what does he do for a living?<br />
(He works on Wall Street, he's only home two nights a week)<br />
That's when she said a little too much conversation<br />
Think she want to indulge in lyrical masturbation<br />
<br />
So I proceeded with the conversation, I said<br />
Can I offer you a glass of Merlot Mrs. No Name?<br />
(Let's get it straight huh, my name's Veronica)<br />
She had the ass the size of South America<br />
She said ain't you that kid that sing Guantanamera<br />
Way before Ricky Martin sung "Livin' La Vida Loca"<br />
<br />
What hood you come from?<br />
I was raised in Brooklyn, but did my studies in Jerusalem<br />
The New Jerusalem yup, that's short for New Jersey<br />
Checked my watch it was a quarter to three<br />
Slid to her crib when we opened the door<br />
Her man was on the bottle waiting for her with the 44<br />
<br />
Now what it look like, it ain't really that<br />
(It doesn't matter)<br />
So he cocked the gat at my top hat<br />
(It doesn't matter)<br />
<br />
Are you crazy? You was married<br />
(It doesn't matter)<br />
'Cuz if you ain't sharin', people ain't carin'<br />
Come up in your hood and they take everything you wearin'<br />
<br />
Yeah, that's when shorty walked up to her man<br />
And she said I gotta go, I can't be here no more<br />
And she said this<br />
<br />
Take me home to the place<br />
I belong at the Refugee Camp<br />
And the Booga basement<br />
That's where I live, oh<br />
<br />
Come on<br />
Yo Rock, I sold like seventeen million records<br />
(It doesn't matter how many records you've sold)<br />
Alright I'm with you, yo, check it out<br />
You wanna go get diamond rings?<br />
(It doesn't matter if the Rock wants to go get diamond rings or not)<br />
<br />
Man, listen, listen<br />
I just got two new Grammy's man<br />
(It doesn't matter about your Grammy's)<br />
It doesn't matter
