1. They don`t expect me on this beat the thunder on the street but i never turn the cheek surrender or retreat you can bet that i am strong trying to right what is wrong they say it wont be long keep on singing your song but hey yo you need a single, single to make a mingle something that's kinda simple i would hate to call it jingle a single is a missile takes you right to the middle of 106 and park and maybe jimmy kimmel you will need somebody famous co-singin it for your anus who you got on your album i don`t see where the name is but i do it my own way i do it my own way i do...if you do what you do your own way you could be famous too.

[Chorus:]
If the beat is hot does it matter where or who its from
If the flow is hot does it really matter where i am from
If the song is hot does it matter cuz the dj drum
If the girl is hot does it really matter where she is from
If the beat is hot does it matter where or who its from
If the flow is hot does it really matter where am from
If the club is hot does it really matter how we drum
If the girl is hot does it really matter where she is from.

2. I could`ve been from the west side or the shat town like twista with a flow so sick it blow you to bits it will show you the glits and gold in the wrist and the boat in the fish and i blow them a kiss, lets blow give them em a sweet talking in a piss while taking a piss are you talking to the fish or the girls in the boat exposing their tits.
