Doesnt Matter by KmaKze Lyrics
Let me level with you for a minute, I know damn well
I ain't got a deal and my record probably won't sell
Crashin' on couches, not traveling coast to coast
Forget about first class, I can't even ride coach
Or take a fuckin' bus home to go and see my folks
I can barely pay my bill to catch up with them on the phone
I'd sell my soul for a show, for real, I would
Give anything to rock a crowd and show 'em that I'm good
Got these crooked promoters that throw away my demo tape
Can't even give it some play and critique for honesty's sake
Just wish they'd throw me a bone, give me a chance to perform
And not be the kid at the table who's writing raps all alone
I'm just another unknown and I'm so under the radar
That if I quit at this moment you'd never miss me and savour
The fact that I was dope, and that I gave it all I had
I'd just be another white boy who thought he could rap, it doesn't matter
(Hook)
Never ask for a favour, that just wouldn't be me
Not askin' to be put on, that's just not what I mean
What I'm sayin' is that, all I want is a chance
To get in the fuckin' booth just to prove I can rap
I got songs that I can't even afford to record
And if I wait any longer then I'll have more than before
But they want their money up front, they want the cash in their hand
They wanna be paid up to meet supply and demand
And I honestly understand, I swear that I do
If I had to deal with rappers, then I'd have a trust issue too
So don't think that I'm mad, it's just the way that it goes
Working for minimum wage to go and blow on my flows
Motherfuck electricity, live in the dark for a month
Just a useless commodity, like I don't struggle enough
But if business is business, then I'm not making it personal
So the second I explode, don't expect no dinero, it doesn't matter
(Hook)
I got love for the homies, but I gotta be honest
That I'd rather be on stage than down in the crowd watching
They're the ones getting shows, the ones everyone knows
While I'm left in the shadows and freezing out in the cold
They tell me that they'll come back, just gotta wait 'til they make it
But I don't wanna ride coattails and leach off the famous
And I'm a little bit jealous, won't even try to deny
But I'm a human fucking being, I'm a guy who's got pride
And I'm always cast to the side, chapped, got a chip on my shoulder
Yet i'm hip to the business, trying to maintain my composure
And save face with personas, just for the good of the group
Got bite marks in my tongue and grit teeth to the root
Trying to keep shit to myself, as if I've got a fuckin' choice
To be one of the boys, gotta part ways with my loins
I check my nuts at the door, sit down, quiet and listen
Stewing over the fact, I never get recognition, it doesn't matter
(Hook)
I ain't got a deal and my record probably won't sell
Crashin' on couches, not traveling coast to coast
Forget about first class, I can't even ride coach
Or take a fuckin' bus home to go and see my folks
I can barely pay my bill to catch up with them on the phone
I'd sell my soul for a show, for real, I would
Give anything to rock a crowd and show 'em that I'm good
Got these crooked promoters that throw away my demo tape
Can't even give it some play and critique for honesty's sake
Just wish they'd throw me a bone, give me a chance to perform
