yunus, you are absolutely right.

But in song writing, sometimes they do that kind of stuff on purpose to bring out a certain desired effect.  Instead of saying "it doesn't matter" they might say "it don't matter".  Instead of saying "it isn't right" they might say "it ain't right."  You will here these kind of things, especially in country songs or ghetto rap songs.
