Ciara - Gov'ment Checks (feat. Missy Elliott)

Ciara - Gov'ment Checks (feat. Missy Elliott)

[Jazze Pha]
Ladies and gentlemen (ladies and gentlemen, ooh-wee)
This is a Welfizzle Productshizzle
Countay!
Our welfare is here (ooh-wee)
Ciaraaaa

(This line is for)
Food assistance, public housing,
Section 8 and county checks
EBT and WIC, unemployment benefits
Everybody, show some ID
Form a line (behind somebody)
Say it loudly, say it proudly
Let me see them gov'ment checks (here we go)

Cash it, don't stash it
Every time you walk thru the door
Show I.D. with me
We about to get some mo'
Let me see them
Gov'ment checks
I wanna see them
Gov'ment checks
Everybody
Gov'ment checks
We about to get some mo'

(This line is)
Impatient, so frustrated, make no payments
(County waived it!!)
Low regarded, stop-started
Ever since the morning started
Rent-to-own, and yes, we pawn it
Felons make the Feds jump on it!
No, I cannot work for self
Now let me cash my gov'ment check (come on)

Cash it, don't stash it
Every time you walk thru the door
Show I.D. with me
We about to get some mo'
Let me see them
Gov'ment checks
I wanna see them
Gov'ment checks
Everybody
Gov'ment checks
We about to get some mo'

(We gon' drop the beat like this, ooh-wee)

It don't matter to me
If the bank's slow (ladies and gentlemen)
Which ever way the line moves
Our bodies will go (I like this)
So sneak in over here, get some rebates (hey, hey)
And we will, we will flock (oh yeah)

It don't matter to me
If the bank's slow (bank's slow ya, ya, ya)
Which ever way the line moves
Our bodies will go (hey, hey)
So sneak in over here, get some rebates (ladies and gentlemen)
And we will, we will flock, too (wee)

[Missy]
I cash it buy JELLO, baby daddies say hello
Cause they know I got EBT
I know you done had Top Ramen before
and I love my gov'ment cheese
Because I'm broke as f**k, apartment boarded-up
I'm in an economic funk, I eat Grey Poupon
And my lights cut off, best believe I'm busted up (oh)

Cash it, don't stash it
Every time you walk thru the door
Show I.D. with me
We about to get some mo'
Let me see them
Gov'ment checks
I wanna see them
Gov'ment checks
Everybody
Gov'ment checks
We about to get some mo'

Cash it, don't stash it
Every time you walk thru the door

Oh my god..woooh.


Me and my brother (my cousin made the chorus) have this song called "Welfare Check" that's something like this lol (1992) (T. Tolbert / I. Tolbert / D. Crawford)

Everybody come and get ya welfare check
Everybody come and get ya welfare check

U gotta go 2 the store everyday
Looking in your pocket
Is it then end of the month
We gonna get paid

I really like the fare
Even if I'm not really poor
I should know (know)
Really really know

But we're not poor
Because we can handle everything
We can buy whatever we want
because everybody's gonna get
Their welfare checks yeah

Everybody come and get ya welfare check
