[Intro]
Uh, uh, yeah
[Verse 1]
Step through the door, let me state my peace (Uh-huh)
Take a little bit of country and I mix it with the streets (Uh-huh)
Put my life on a beat (Yeah) Put my name on the line (Okay)
Hit a little six string, that'll sound just right (Alright)
And there' somethin' goin' on, I can smell it in the air (Yeah)
You can tell I'm different from the clothes I wear (Wear)
People stop and stare, yeah and I stare back (Yeah)
Bumpin' old Bocephus in a Cadillac (Uh-huh)
Blowin' cigar smoke, livin' life to the fullest (Yeah)
Chest pocket got a bullet so don't make me have to pull it (Click)
Big sunglasses and some square-toed boots (Uh-huh)
In an old Chevrolet, I'm gettin' back to my roots (Yeah)
Like chasin' a ghost, tryna keep up with me (Yeah)
Yeah my name ring bells from here to overseas (Yeah)
I'm makin' them believe when they thought I was a joke
Used to laugh and call me names when they thought I was broke (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
They used to laugh and call me names
Say "I'm outta my mind"
And I kept workin' hard, it's about my time
And I strayed off the path, never walked that line
And I told 'em all "nevermind"
[Chorus]
It don't matter no more
It don't matter no more (Hah, hah)
It don't matter no more
It don't matter no more
It don't matter no more
[Break]
Huh (Huh)
Yeah (Yeah)
Uh
[Verse 2]
City to city and state to state (Gone)
Dixie cups and papers plates, that's how we ate (For sure)
A traveling band-man, that's all I need (Need)
And a microphone check, 1, 2 to the 3
I'ma little bit country and a little bit hood (For sure)
I done swam with the sharks, I done ate with the wolves (Grr)
Played ties in the gutter, to try not to struggle
And I came out the drain as a bad motherfucker
So a little bit cocky, I might be (Yeah)
If you done been where I been and you done seen what I seen
I ain't never had nothin' so I might be facist
Step up on stage and I hide behind glasses
Heart full of passion (Huh) Head full of dreams
Gettin' back to the people that always doubted me
So when I wink my eye from the TV screen
Just know that what you said, it don't matter to me
[Pre-Chorus]
They used to laugh and call me names
Say "I'm outta my mind"
And I kept workin' hard, it's about my time
And I strayed off the path, never walked that line
And I told 'em all "nevermind"
[Chorus]
It don't matter no more
It don't matter no more (Hah, hah)
It don't matter no more
It don't matter no more
It don't matter no more
[Pre-Chorus]
They used to laugh and call me names
Say "I'm outta my mind"
And I kept workin' hard, it's about my time
And I strayed off the path, never walked that line
And I told 'em all "nevermind"
[Chorus]
It don't matter no more
It don't matter no more (Hah, hah)
It don't matter no more
It don't matter no more
It don't matter no more
