IT Doesn't Matter              
             
/ Melky Sedeck, The Rock 

[The Rock] 
Yo this is the Rock kicking it with the Refugee camp 
And you're bout to smell what the Rock is cooking 

[Wyclef Jean](The Rock) 
Yo this is strictly a club record 
Dedicated to everybody who used to stand outside in the cold 
When the LFEX was spinning at the Red Zone 
Putting it down 
And the tired bouncers would not let me in 
Know what I'm saying? 

Yo, yo, yo, yo 
I got fifty Bentley'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 take everything you're 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 ¡®em champagne like it was their birthday 
Me I used to hustle my way in 
I'm on the guest list plus five! 
Who's performing tonight? 
He said Shabba 
Mister Lover that be needy and selective 
(Someone jump the Rock's up in here) 
Disrespect emcees and catch a smack in your left ear 
Light up like Vegas when its 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 
An ebony or ivory into my Jacuzzi 
Foundation like Cool Hirth as DJ Red Alert go bizzerk 
The needle ain't skip the record jerked 
Cause y'all jumpin' too hard 
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!) 

[Wyclef](The Rock) 
I got fifty Bentley'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 cause if you ain't sharing, people ain't caring 
Come up in the hood and take everything you're wearing 
Yo Rock I just bought a fresh Bentley 
(It doesn't matter you just bought a fresh Bentley) 

[Wyclef](Melky Sedeck) 
How many of y'all ever been to a barbecue 
And you always got an Uncle Juan that wanna show you 
How all the dances go 
And they start it off like this 
Electric side on the dance floor 
Freaky-deaky like Studio 54 
GIRLS!! Until the IRS raids it 
Drug money get converted into music 
The dope 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 
I think she want to indulge in lyrical masturbation 
So I proceeded with the compensation, I said 
Can I offer you a glass of Merrill Mrs. No Name? 
(Let's get it straight huh, my name's Veronica) 
She had the ass the size of South America 
She said ain't you that kid that sing Guantanamera 
Way before Ricky Martin started Livin' La Vida Loca 
What hood you come from? 
I was raised in Brooklyn, but did my studies in Jerusalem 
The New Jerusalem yeah 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 

[Wyclef](The Rock) 
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 take everything you're 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 

[Melky Sedeck] 
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...yo check it out 
You wanna go get diamond rings 
(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
