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)
