Yo this is the Rock kicking it with the Refugee camp
And youre bout to smell what the Rock is cookin
Yo this is strictly a club record
Dedicated to everybody who used to stand outside in the cold
When the F-L-E-X was spinnin at the Red Zone, hooded down
And these tired bouncers would not let me in
YouknowwhatImsayin?
Yo, yo, yo
I got fifty Bentleys in the West Indies
(It doesnt matter!)
I got a pocket full of cheese and a garden full of trees
(It doesnt matter!)
I just won the bingo bought a crib in Rio
(It doesnt matter!)
Cause if you aint sharin, people aint carin
Come up in the hood and they take everything you wearin
Back in the days it was all about the clubs
And the so-called thugs used to dance the break for love
The girls, they wouldnt say HEY!
Unless you bought em champagne like it was they birthday
Me, I used to stand outside
Hustlin my way in Im on the guest list plus five!
Whos performin tonight? He said Shabba
Mister Lover Daddy he be the selector
(Someone jump the Rocks up in here)
Disrespect emcees and catch a smack in your left ear
Light up like Vegas when its time to gamble
Girls scream for me like I was part of the Beatles
But Im not honey, but I could be your Paul McCartney
and "Ebony or Ivory" into my Jacuzzi
Foundation like Kool Herc, or DJ Red Alert goes bezerk
The needle aint skip the record jerked
Cause yall jumpin too hard
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
I got fifty Bentleys in the West Indies
(It doesnt matter!)
I got a pocket full of cheese and a garden full of trees
(It doesnt matter!)
What? I just won the bingo bought a crib in Rio
(It doesnt matter!)
Yo cause if you aint sharin, people aint carin
Come up in the hood and they take everything you wearin
Yo Rock I just bought a fresh Bentley
(It doesnt matter you just bought a fresh Bentley!)
How many of yall ever been to a barbecue
And you always got an aunt or uncle
wanna show you how the old dances go
And they start it off like this
Electric slide on the dance floor
Freaky-deaky like Studio 54
GIRLS!! Until the IRS raids it
Drug money get converted into music
The dope man becomes an entertainer
Leave that crack alone! I told the customers
Im into bigger and better things Mr. Fiend
You want a hit? Give me a guitar and a drum machine
And the crowd will scream loud when the bass thump
I can smell it in the air, the smell is funk
{*cough cough*} Excuse me I gotta cough
Girl you in so much ice you could freeze New York
Youre man must really love you, what does he do for a living?
(He works on Wall Street hes only home two nights a week)
Thats when she said a little too much conversation
Think she want to indulge in lyrical masturbation
So I proceeded with the conversation, I said
Can I offer you a glass of Merlot Mrs. No Name?
(Lets get it straight huh, my names Veronica)
She had the ass the size of South America
She said aint you that kid that sing Guantanamera
way before Ricky Martin sung "Livin La Vida Loca"
What hood you come from?
I was raised in Brooklyn, but did my studies in Jerusalem
The New Jerusalem yup, thats short for New Jersey
Checked my watch it was a quarter to three
Slid to her crib when we opened the door
Her man was on the bottle waiting for her with the 44
Now what it look like, it aint really that
(It doesnt matter!)
So he cocked the gat at my top hat
(It doesnt matter!)
Are you crazy? You was married!
(It doesnt matter!)
Cause if you aint sharin, people aint carin
Come up in your hood and they take everything you wearin
Yeah thats when shorty walked up to her man
And she said I gotta go I cant be here no more
And she said this
Take me home, to the place
I belong at the Refugee Camp
And the Booga basement
Thats where I live, oh
Come on
Yo Rock I sold like seventeen million records
(It doesnt matter how many records youve sold!)
Alright Im with you, yo check it out
You wanna go get diamond rings?
(It doesnt matter if the Rock wants to go get diamond rings or not!)
Man listen, listen
I just got two new Grammys man
(It doesnt matter about your Grammys!)
It doesnt matter
