[Intro]
It doesn't matter
[Verse 1]
It doesn’t matter
Still got love for all of y'all
And Proof just created a squad to drop the bomb
When Marshall called us, he was honest, never broke his promise
We was polish and as hungry as wild dogs
No internet, no protoos, no blogs
Sitting on the porch till I got a call from Bugz
They picked me up, riding through the island freestyling
Bizarre in the backseat smiling
Getting high off of J Dilla
See, this vibe was nothing new
We was brothers from other mothers but had different crews
Rocking shows, brother Bugz was socking foes
One of the loyalist brothers that I know
And it shows that real recognize real
And right before we got the deal
Proof came to my crib and I stood still just to heard that my dog got killed
I looked at his face for five seconds, my stomach became ill
Damn
[Hook]
I got love for my brothers, as long as I'm alive you’ll never struggle or fumble
(It doesn't matter)
I don't really care for no others but my hussle and family, you in trouble? - I'm on it
(It doesn't matter)
Right or wrong, I'mma love you no matter if it's peace or a rebuttal, it's nothing
(It doesn’t matter)
It ain’t nothing nobody can tell us, our blood is too thick to seperate us or severe us
[Verse 2]
It doesn't matter
’cause I'mma hold the torch, that's all that mister Mathers want
Is for us to take the ball and dunk it
Me and Kuniva said bump it
We go hold the legacy on the back and fuck the dumb shit
It doesn't matter
All you people can chit-chatter
When we drop another D12 album all the molecules and atoms will splatter
The earth will bleed
And the spirit of Proof will explode your mp3s
I remember sleeping on the floor at Proof’s home in Jersey
Soon as he got signed to Maurice Malone
We took four busses and two subways
To the studio in New York to get our demo on
Hussle but still humble, our visions got wider
Getting aspired by Runyon Ave - the east siders
Peace to Big Salmon, D Rock - they riders
When Em signed us, I know nothing couldn't divide us
No pride and no drama like Mary Blige, no hiding behind that fakeness
Upfront and honest
We ride with the world's modest
Pockets became fatter
And I still love my brothers, it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter, Dirty Dozen, serving rappers on the platter
Featuring Em Mathers? it's no features
Since '93 we battle, we supported each other through the struggle
Lyrics compatible, platinum plaques on the wall
And in my manor is awards and books representing the world tours
So when I see my brothers on the street
I'm sure that whenever we meet that we never missing the beat
It doesn't matter
[Hook]
I got love for my brothers, as long as I'm alive you'll never struggle or fumble
(It doesn't matter)
I don't really care for no others but my hussle and family, you in trouble? - I'm on it
(It doesn't matter)
Right or wrong, I'mma love you no matter if it's peace or a rebuttal, it's nothing
(It doesn't matter)
It ain't nothing nobody can tell us, our blood is too thick to seperate us or severe us
[Verse 3]
It doesn't matter
We grown, Proof is gone
If he was here, he'd show us everything that's going wrong
I'm not trying to point imperfections in the song
It doesn't matter, just as long as you go for yours and make money
Be loyal to whoever ride along, 'cause if you don't, they'll be sure to put you in harm's way
In the arms of satan, guards are waiting
I'll be there with an AK planning y'all escape
I ain't saying that you can't handle yourself, that ain't true
But knowing me, you'll know exactly what Bugz'll do
Curse you out whether you nine or ninety-two
Beside my crew like private Ryan
The skies are blue or gray
It doesn't matter, I stay
Catch a stray and stitch my own wound
Walk away, to this day I'm a soldier
And it doesnt matter, who busting at ya
Push the alarm and I'm as strong as a statue
It doesn't matter
[Hook]
I got love for my brothers, as long as I'm alive you'll never struggle or fumble
(It doesn't matter)
I don't really care for no others but my hussle and family, you in trouble? - I'm on it
(It doesn't matter)
Right or wrong, I'mma love you no matter if it's peace or a rebuttal, it's nothing
(It doesn't matter)
It ain't nothing nobody can tell us, our blood is too thick to seperate us or severe us
