Matter - Jackie Brown Definitive

Sometimes I be wondering
Do i
Does I
Is I
When I gone matter
Finna jump on my papyrus carpet chatter
Ride myself right outta sphere
Would you care?
Am I not still sweet Sheena bean
From the old caravan
I used to hear cat calls from the chants
of man and I ain’t never been cheap
Promotin treats to every male I meet
Trust me they was had
Or do I glean and make people see
Mean
Dean
Greene
With her sistah power suits
Diamond degree in the back,
Surveying campus scenes wit her gansta lean
Did I
When I
Will I
Matter then

Does it factor in now?
Mount my trusty steed, verbal prowess
Go to love my temple college
Gallop my rumpusstilskin on into the next
dimension
To a brave bumpin universe
Where I can be the first to make everybody
Who been told they can’t...
Can't hold the sharpest tune
Or aww ya'll ain’t nuthin smooth
They lame and weird with a big boom boom
Like it resemble something bad
Anybody thinking they somebody must be mad
School ‘em in what they could do with it
What to bite and where they can get it
ripped

And it don’t shine
And it don't stop
Miles from what they can comprehend or
extend their minds
Defend them
We on the upper plane
Cause
We Is
The biz
on a ritz

All of us matter

    "We Is

    That is smooth, I'm glad you mount that steed.
    I agree with this. We are all the biz on a ritz. This is so cool...
    You are the A.P Queen of Rythm.

    Excellent, girl, as usual. Deep deep, still holding that culture and attitude that draws me.
    I sure would like to hear you scat....
    I scat too, though not very well.

      I can't scat at all, never even tried it although I do sing a little-smile. Thank you white stone.
