K’naan - Does It Really Matter lyrics

Yea, uhhh it's K'naan yea, uuhh about
To take over with this
Here we go I check it

They don`t expect me on this beat
The thunder on the street
But, I never turn the cheek
Surrender or retreat
You can bet that I am strong
Trying to right what is wrong
They say it won't be long
Keep on singing your song
But ayo you need a single
Single to make a mingle
Something that's kinda simple
I'd hate to call it jingle
A single is a missile
Takes you right to the middle of 106
And park and maybe Jimmy Kimmel
You'll need somebody famous co-signing
For your anus who you got on the album I
Don't see where the name is
But, I do it my own way I do it
My own way I do
If you do what you do your own
Way you could be famous too

If the beat is hot does it
Matter where or who it's from?
If the flow is hot does it
Really matter where I'm from?
If the song is hot does it
Matter cause the DJ dumb?
If the girl is hot does it
Really matter where she's from?
If the beat is hot does it
Matter where or who it's from?
If the flow is hot does it
Really matter where I'm from?
If the club is hot does it
Really matter how we bump?
If the girl is hot does it
Really matter where she's from?

I coulda been from the west side
Or the Chi Town like twista
With a flow so sick it blow you to
Bit's it will show you the glit's and
Gold in the wrist and the boat in the
Fish and I blow them a kiss
-?lets blow give them em a sweet talking in
A piss while taking a piss?- are
You talking to the fish or the girls
In the boat exposing their tit's

I coulda been from NY like
Rakim with the my pen
I can get paid in full with praise and
Tools erased and rules my case of
Jewels I'm cold like a glacial cool with
Blades and fools I'm raging bulls

I coulda been from LA like Dre and Snoop
Rolling in my six-four with fresh case jewels
And I'm riding on 'em niggas unless they cool
And I got border troubles
Like 'em essays fool

I coulda been- I coulda been from the
Dirty like A town or MIA
I could ride an invisible motor
Cycle and go HEY (echo hey hey)
Storm like the hurricane and I
Don't mean ay bay bay
I'm from Africa where they say
K'naan- boom aye ay

If the beat is hot does it
Matter where or who it's from?
If the flow is hot does it
Really matter where I'm from?
If the song is hot does it
Matter cause the DJ dumb?
If the girl is hot does it
Really matter where she's from?
If the beat is hot does it
Matter where or who it's from?
If the flow is hot does it
Really matter where I'm from?
If the club is hot does it
Really matter how we bump?
If the girl is hot does it
Really matter where she's from?

If you wanna make it hot then
You better do a drop
(echoes drop drop drop drop drop drop)
If you wanna get a hit you
Better auto tune this shit (shit, ooh yea)
And he is tougher than you suckers none
Of you could ever bark at him
Look at him make you tough guys
Look like you are from suckatem
I do it my own my own my I do it
My own way I doif you
Do what you do your own way
You could be famous too

If the beat is hot does it
Matter where or who it's from?
If the flow is hot does it
Really matter where I'm from?
If the song is hot does it
Matter cause the DJ dumb?
If the girl is hot does it
Really matter where she's from?
If the beat is hot does it
Matter where or who it's from?
If the flow is hot does it
Really matter where I'm from?
If the club is hot does it
Really matter how we bump?
If the girl is hot does it
Really matter where she's from?
