What Matters

Tell me what matters to you
Your child, your house or your boo
What about, the clothes on your back
I bet you thinking bout that blue Cadillac
What about your academics
It's okay just don't be dumb as a brick
All of that, is stuff that we love
Just remember people always gon judge

Why does it matter to you
When i am acting a fool
Is it the way that I talk
Is it the way that I move
Do my spirit irk yo soul
Do I make you curl yo toes
You look like you finna cry
Here some tissue blow your nose
Why does it matter to you
The way that I sing my song
Nobody doing what's right
But we stay doing what's wrong
You rub my face in the dirt
I cry so hard cause it hurt
Maybe the color of my skin
Do I make you feel alert

What matters to me just might not matter to you
It ain't nothing wrong with that
Just show me love I show you
The respect you show me
Is the respect I show you
If you pull on my shirt
Imma pull on yo shirt too
I might not like what you do
But it don't make me better than you
Even tho I might be better than you
It still don't make me better than you
You treat me like fam
I treat you like family
Just keep all your love for me
And everything will be a-o-n-e

Why does it matter to you
when i am acting a fool
Is it the way that I talk
Is it the way that I move
Do my spirit irk yo soul
Do I make you curl yo toes
You look like you finna cry
Here some tissue blow your nose
Why does it matter to you
The way that I sing my song
Nobody doing what's right
But we stay doing what's wrong
You rub my face in the dirt
I cry so hard cause it hurt
Maybe the color of my skin
Do I make you feel alert

It doesn't matter
Who pockets fatter
The stuff drive me crazy
I might just jump off a ladder
Because it matters to me and that's what I said
I'm tryna kill the beat but it's already dead
I'm tired of he said, she said, we said

Why does it matter to you
when i am acting a fool
Is it the way that I talk
Is it the way that I move
Do my spirit irk yo soul
Do I make you curl yo toes
You look like you finna cry
Here some tissue blow your nose

Why does it matter to you
when i am acting a fool
Is it the way that I talk
Is it the way that I move
Do my spirit irk yo soul
Do I make you curl yo toes
You look like you finna cry
Here some tissue blow your nose
Why does it matter to you
The way that I sing my song
Nobody doing what's right
But we stay doing what's wrong
You rub my face in the dirt
I cry so hard cause it hurt
Maybe the color of my skin
Do I make you feel alert

Why does it matter to you
Why does it matter to you
Why does it matter to you
Why does it matter to you
Why does it matter to you
Why does it matter to you
Why does it matter to you
Why does it matter to you
Why does it matter to you
Why does it matter to you
Why does it matter to you
Why does it matter to you
Why does it matter to you
Why does it matter to you
Why does it matter to you
Why does it matter to you
