"Bill$, Bill$, Bill$"
(a spoof of "Girls, Girls, Girls" by Jay-Z)

I hate bills, bills, bills, bills
Bills I do abhor
They've got me scrambling and scraping, barely making minimum payments
Saying, "Nah, let's NOT go to the store."

Visa; who says it's EVERYWHERE you want it to be?
How about out of my face? You're crowding my space
Visa must stand for Very Intrigued by Stuff you can't Afford
Because I'm still paying those jokers for my first pair of Jordans
Mastercard makes it rather hard for a person like Drew
The interest rates are a fool, but the commercials are cool
Because that leather jacket I charged was three ninety-six
But being fly and dipped while being behind on your rent?
PRICELESS..
American Express, oh yeah, your ass is next
"I never leave home" without stress, but you couldn't care less
They've got the green one and the blue one
Teaming up on Drew, son
My shopping bags are two tons
My credit rating is gruesome
Discover; always trying to discover a way
To get brothers for pay
Those little suckers don't play!
Little black card, the only thing I charge you with is tax fraud
It's because of you I can't get a car
Feel the wrath of the God!
That's Visa, Mastercard, American Express
Discover ways to bury you in debt
I'd rather you invest
'Cause if I had all the money I owe
I'd have a Navigator, a mansion, and a couple yachts, yo..

I've got bills, bills, bills, bills
Bills all over the world
If you're trying to collect a fee, leave your message at the beep
Holler at me when I get off tour..

Washington Gas; I can't get 'em off of my ass
Summer isn't so bad, but in winter I'm getting jacked
When I first moved in my apartment, I left town and left the heat on
So my first gas bill is something I won't even SPEAK on!
Verizon; surprise, son, I might be returning
Because Sprint PCS stands for Pretty Crappy Service
Got me out in the cold just to shout in the phone
Because the signal is low, but in my house it's gonna roam
I've got Pepco bills, but I'm cool with those
Five dollars at the most because I'm never at home
I wish I could say the same about them damned COLLEGE LOANS
Howard was dope, but the knowledge is old and now I'm broke
I can't forget rent; that's the funniest part
Them cats been jacking my money from start
Phifer Realty must be crazy, charging me $65 late fees
"But my money order was lost in the mail..."
"FUCK YOU! PAY ME!!"
That's gas, phone, and electric bills, school loans and rent
That's who gets my paycheck; Drew don't get SHIT!
So please buy my CD when you see me on the road
'Cause I've got so many bills across the gloooobe..

I hate bills, bills, bills, bills
Bills I do abhor
They've got me scrambling and scraping, barely making minimum payments
Saying, "Nah, let's NOT go to the store."
I've got bills, bills, bills, bills
Bills all over the world
If you're trying to collect a fee, leave your message at the beep
Holler at me when I get off tour..
