Don't Matter
Isaiah Rashad Lyrics

Fake, fake, fake, feel me
Calling out the fakeness around, hoping to be understood

My shit go good with your mouth, don't it feel good?
Praising his own music and asking his listeners to enjoy it too

It's a number 3, buckle up
Referring to his music as something you need to be ready for

Got to the scene it was bonafide pocket book
Arriving to prove he belongs there, with success as proof

And cause you high all my secrets from that bitch
Being wary of people who are always high and may spill secrets

They keep callin' your phone, I know he hate it
Constantly being bothered by people is a nuisance but he's aware that it happens

But the comet go
Acknowledging the inevitable flow of things

Keep us in tune and my hooker got another show
Remaining in sync and having new things to share through his music

I'm on the road just to see if I can make it back
Journeying to success and hoping to remain there

With just a scar and a carcass and a flaw
Showing up with imperfections but still staying true to himself

Like God and his kids
Being protective of himself and his creations, similar to a parent

I know you hate us but it's nothin' else
Assuming that there are people who may not like him or his music, but it won't stop him

They told me that I had to see it for my fuckin' self
Learning and experiencing success for himself, not through others

And if I make to the gates and he don't recognize
Hoping to be successful enough that even God recognizes him

That I had all the traits of greatness and the starlight at my feet
Believing in himself and his abilities, that he has the potential to reach great heights

So don't you take me to the preacher
Not needing the validation of others, especially through religion

Cause I might testify ay
Choosing to speak for himself, since he knows his own truth better than anyone else

And I'm just a boy
Humbling himself, reminding that he's still young and learning

I write pimps, hoes, fingertips, nasty bae
Describing the range of his content

And I ain't done with your mouth
Continuing to create music that others can enjoy

Say that as good as a number 3
Comparing his music to fast food, in the sense that it's easy to consume

Want some more, you got away with the tongue in cheek
Feeling confident and playful with his listeners

Never seen, I know the coat to your body
Being able to connect with others through his music, even if he's never met them before

And the road to the vision is all communication
Believing that communication is key to achieving success and fulfilling his goals

And we bust a nut
Celebrating success and achievements

I left a stain in your inner part
Leaving a lasting impression on listeners through his music

You let it go
Giving people the freedom to interpret his music as they want

I know the words to your favorite
Understands what people like and creates similar content

We know everything
Feeling like he understands his audience and their preferences well

But I don't have time for you baby
Reminding that as much as he appreciates his fans, he doesn't have the time for everyone

I am all for the profit, I am past my self destruction point
Acknowledging that although he may be self-destructive at times, he's now focused on making a profit

But you bring it back
Despite being past his self-destruction point, there are those who may still try to bring him down

I got a lie for you waitin' in my Cadillac
Being prepared to give a false front if necessary

Cause you describe all the symptoms of a common feat
Not being fooled by those who exhibit typical traits of trying to bring someone down

You said you read to the fire
Being able to connect with listeners by understanding their experiences and stories

It was good with the preacher and all the congregation
Going back to the idea of validation, and how it's not necessary for him to seek religious validation

Would you testify?
Asking the listener if they would vouch for his music or message

I guess he at it again like
Recognizing that he's doing it again, this time creating a new piece of music

Let me put your knees to your chest and get ready
Encouraging listeners to prepare themselves for the experience he will give them

Everybody's invited
Celebrating that his music is inclusive and for everyone
