It Doesn'T Really Matter

I remember when I was younger
James Brown was so unique
I never understood how he did it
How he made his music groove your very soul

If you listen close to the music
You'll find no difference between our days, no
My syste-systic humanistic sound to prove you, yeeaah

It doesn't really matter, it doesn't really change
It doens't really matter, it all remains the same
It doesn't really matter, it doesn't really change
It doens't really matter, it all remains the same

Do you remember, Chuck Berry
He made rock around the clock
Just rocking and relieving, rocking and relieving, rocking all night

Let's rock, Come'on

It doesn't really matter, it doesn't really change
It doens't really matter, it all remains the same
It doesn't really matter, it doesn't really change
It doens't really matter, it all remains the same
It doesn't really matter, it doesn't really change
It doens't really matter, it all remains the same

Down, down, down, down (It really doesn't matter things remain the same)
Time after time, day after day
It doesn't matter things remain the same
Hey! It doesn't matter, matter, matter, matter, matter
Hey!

Just throw down the party
Things remain the same
Just throw down the party (slow down?)
Just throw down the party
It never really changes
Just throw down the party, Dum-dum-dum-dum, bop

Stevie Wonder, Rick James
Chad Wilson and the Gap Band
Roger Troutman and the Zapp Band
Cameo and Grandmaster
Aretha, she's the queen
James Brown, he's the king
Sony, you're the king
Oh Melba Moore, I Love You More
They sound so good to me
Do you remember Sly Stone?
(What city did he come from Roger?)

First, there was Detroit
Then there was Stax
In Memphis
Then the Philly Sound
Now we've got the Minneapolis connection
Thank you Prince 'cause you sound so good to me
Get on down, get on down
Down down down down
