Wyclef Jean, Melky Sedeck, Dwayne Johnson - It Doesn't Matter lyrics

Yo, this is the Rock kicking
It with the Refugee camp
And you're bout to smell what
The Rock is cookin'
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 spinnin'
At the Red Zone, hooded down
And these tired bouncers would not let me in
YouknowwhatI'msayin?

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 sharin, people ain't carin


Come up in the hood and
They take everything you wearin

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 they birthday
Me, I used to stand outside
Hustlin my way in I'm on
The guest list plus five!
Who's performin' 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 Kool Herc
Or DJ Red Alert goes bezerk
The needle ain't skip the record jerked
Cause y'all jumpin' too hard
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey)

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 sharin'
People ain't carin' come up in the hood and
They take everything you wearin'
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-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 wearing so much ice
You could freeze New York
Your 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 ass the size of South America
She said ain't you that
Kid that sing Guantanamera
Way before Ricky Martin sung
"Livin' 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 sharin'
People ain't carin' come up in your hood and
They take everything you wearin'

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
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
