Remy: Raise the Debt Ceiling Rap

(CHORUS)
Raise da debt ceiling! Raise da debt ceiling!
Raise da debt ceiling! Raise da debt ceiling!
Raise da debt ceiling! Raise da debt ceiling!
Raise da debt ceiling! Raise da debt ceiling!
Fourteen trillion in debt, but yo we ain't got no qualms
Droppin' hundred dollar bills and billion dollar bombs
Spendin' money we don't have, that's the name of the game
They call me cumulonimbus because you know I make it rain
Drive all kinds of cars, got all kinds of whips
People ask me how I get 'em, I tell 'em "stimulus"
Social Security surplus? Oh, guess what? It's gone!
Got my hands on everything, like Dominique Strauss-Kahn
Ain't got no Medicare trust fund, son, that's just absurd
Spendin' every single penny that we see, son, have you heard?
Ain't got no moral objections, ain't got no kind of complaints
Ain't got no quantitative statutory budget restraints
[CHORUS]
All up in the Fed and we livin' in style
Spendin' lots of money while we sippin' Cristal
Still makin' it rain, and yeah it be so pleasin'
Did I say make it rain? I mean quantitative easin'!
QE1, QE2, QE4, QE3
Droppin' IOUs in every fund that I see
Printin' the cash, inflatin' the monies
Callin' up China, "Hey, yo, we straight outta twenties!"
All up in the club we be loudin' out
While in the market, yeah, we be crowdin' out
On the beach gettin' tan and sipping Corona
I got a monetary plan and it involves a lotta toner
[CHORUS]
So if you look at the chart and you examine the trend
We borrow forty cents of every single dollar we spend
And non-discretionary spending increases every day
Do you have a comment for Committee? "I make it rain"
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, could you beam me up?
A Congressperson cutting spending? Couldn't dream me up!
But we're all gonna default if we follow the road
You know, I coulda thought of this fourteen trillion dollars ago
'Coz I'm the king of the links, I'm a menace at tennis
I'm stickin' spinnaz on my rims pickin' winnaz in bidness
So if you lookin' for some cash 'coz things are gettin' heavy
I got some big ol' piles of money - guess what? They shovel ready
[CHORUS]
