It Doesn't Matter (Album Version)

It Doesn't Matter (Album Version) - Wyclef Jean (韋克萊夫·讓)/The Rock/Melky Sedeck

Written by：Wyclef Jean

Yo this is the rock kicking it with the refugee camp

And you're about to smell what the rock is cooking

Yo this is strictly a club record

Dedicated to everybody who used to stand outside in the cold

When the F L E X was spinning at the red zone hooded down

And these tired bouncers would not let me in

You know what I'm saying

Yo yo yo

I got fifty Beasley's in the west indies

It doesn't matter

I got a pocket full of cheese and a garden full of trees

It doesn't matter

I just won the bingo bought a crib in Rio

It doesn't matter

Cause if you ain't sharing people ain't caring

Come up in the hood and they take everything you wearing

Back in the days it was all about the clubs

And the so called thugs used to dance the break for love

The girls they wouldn't say hey

Unless you bought them champagne like it was they birthday

Me I used to stand outside

Hustling my way in I'm on the guest list plus five

Who's performing tonight he said shabba

Mister lover daddy he be the selector

Someone jump the rock's up in here

Disrespect emcees and catch a smack in your left ear

Light up like Vegas when it's time to gamble

Girls scream for me like I was part of the Beatles

But I'm not honey but I could be your Paul McCartney

And ebony or ivory into my Jacuzzi

Foundation like cool her or DJ red alert goes berserk

The needle ain't skip the record jerked

Cause y'all jumping too hard

Hey hey hey hey hey

I got fifty Beasley's in the west indies

It doesn't matter

I got a pocket full of cheese and a garden full of trees

It doesn't matter

What I just won the bingo bought a crib in Rio

It doesn't matter

Yo because if you ain't sharing people ain't caring

Come up in the hood and they take everything you wearing

Yo rock I just bought a fresh Bentley

It doesn't matter you just bought a fresh Bentley

How many of y'all ever been to a barbecue

And you always got an aunt or uncle

Wanna show you how the old dances go

And they start it off like this

Electric slide on the dance floor

Freaky deary like studio 54

Girls until the IRS raids it

Drug money get converted into music

The d**e man becomes an entertainer

Leave that crack alone I told the customers

I'm into bigger and better things Mr fiend

You want a hit give me a guitar and a drum machine

And the crowd will scream loud when the bass thump

I can smell it in the air the smell is funk

Excuse me I gotta cough

Girl you in so much ice you could freeze New York

You're man must really love you what does he do for a living

He works on wall street he's only home two nights a week

That's when she said a little too much conversation

Think she want to indulge in lyrical masturbation

So I proceeded with the conversation I said

Can I offer you a glass of Merlot Mrs no name

Let's get it straight huh my name's veronica

She had the a** the size of south America

She said ain't you that kid that sing Guantanamera

Way before Ricky martin sung living la vida loca

What hood you come from

I was raised in Brooklyn but did my studies in Jerusalem

The new Jerusalem yup that's short for new jersey

Checked my watch it was a quarter to three

Slid to her crib when we opened the door

Her man was on the bottle waiting for her with the 44

Now what it look like it ain't really that

It doesn't matter

So he cocked the gat at my top hat

It doesn't matter

Are you crazy you was married

It doesn't matter

Cause if you ain't sharing people ain't caring

Come up in your hood and they take everything you wearing

Yeah that's when shorty walked up to her man

And she said I gotta go I can't be here no more

And she said this

Take me home to the place

I belong at the refugee camp

And the booga basement

That's where I live oh

Come on

Yo rock I sold like seventeen million records

It doesn't matter how many records you've sold

Alright I'm with you yo check it out

It doesn't matter

It doesn't matter if the rock wants to go get diamond rings or not

Man listen listen

I just got two new grammy's man

It doesn't matter about your grammy's

It doesn't matter
