K'NAAN - Does It Really Matter

(speaking) yea uhhh....its k'naan....
yeaa 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 wont be long
keep on singing your song but hey yo you need a single,
single to make a mingle something that's kinda simple
i would 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 will need somebody famous co-singin
it for your anus who you got on your 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.

( CHORUS)

if the beat is hot does it matter where or who its from
if the flow is hot does it really matter where i am from
if the song is hot does it matter cuz the dj drum
if the girl is hot does it really matter where she is from
if the beat is hot does it matter where or who its from
if the flow is hot does it really matter where am from
if the club is hot does it really matter how we drum
if the girl is hot does it really matter where she is
from.

I could`ve been from the west side or the shat town like twista
with a flow so sick it blow you to bits it will show you the glits
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 tits

I could've been from NY like rock`em with the my pen i can get paid
in full with praise and tools erased and rules my case of jewels am cold
like glazier glew with blades and fools am ragging bulls

I could`ve been from L.A like dre and snoop rolling in my six four
with fresh case jewels and am ridding on em niggaz unless they cool
and i got border troubles like em essays fool

I Could`ve been i could`ve been from the dirty like A town and M.I.A
i could ride an invisible motor cycle and go HEY (echo) hey hey...
storm like the hurricane and i don't mean ey bay bay
am from african where they say K'naan umayey

(repeat chorus)

if you wana make it hot then you better do a drop
(echoes drop drop drop drop drop drop...)
if you wana get a hit you better add to the street
(echoes street ooh yea...)
and he is tougher than you suckers non 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 ido...
if you do what you do your own way you could be famous too

Repeat chorus (x2)
