Ching Ching
Ms. Jade feat. Nelly Furtado & Timbaland Lyrics

Ba da ba ba ching ching ching
The sound of money being spent frivolously

Ba da ba ba ba ching ching
Reinforcing the sound of money being spent frivolously

What about the money that I spent up today [Repeat: x 4]
Repeatedly questioning the value of the money spent and the impact it had

Tim took you from ghetto to class, how to hold your glass
Explaining how Timbaland helped elevate Ms. Jade's lifestyle

To Fendi's to bags, for holdin' your cash
Listing high-end brands where Ms. Jade spends her money

People was seein' you pass, like right through the drapes
Ms. Jade was flaunting her wealth and people couldn't help but notice

I brought you the private, ounce wit the gates
Timbaland provided Ms. Jade with luxurious experiences and possessions

Thinkin' that stuff make me faint, just whistle real fast
Ms. Jade feels unimpressed by material possessions and expects more from her relationship

Cougars roll in the grass, same cat on your Jag
Pointing out the infidelity in their relationship

Why your keepin' them tabs, and callin' me for
Ms. Jade is questioning why her partner tracks her spending and still needs her

It cost every minute, and you know I'm on tour
Ms. Jade highlights the cost of their phone calls due to her busy schedule

And I'm deeply committed, although I'm forgettin'
Ms. Jade is dedicated to the relationship despite forgetting things

Sometimes while hittin' it ,different names would slip
Ms. Jade exposes her partner's infidelity and how he calls her by other women's names

If I been wit a chick, check me miss
Her partner should hold her to the same standards he expects from her

Your complexion switched, honey you been on trips
Ms. Jade notices her partner's tan and suspects him of cheating

But you don't appreciate this, till your back in the Jetta
Ms. Jade feels unappreciated and believes her partner will only realize her worth once she leaves

No iceberg you own, just Angelica's sweaters
Ms. Jade points out that her partner's possessions are insignificant compared to hers

If the steaks ain't T-Bone, you ain't properly fed
Ms. Jade expects high-quality meals

Hun tonight is bet burgers, no cheese on the bread
Disappointed with the low-quality meal for the night

Boy you act like I need ya, came down wit amnesia
Ms. Jade calls out her partner's ungrateful behavior

Ran to why'alls in the meters, nuttin' but hate in between us
Ms. Jade is frustrated with her partner's lies and betrayal

Now you come poppin' this shit, nigga I made you rich
Ms. Jade reminds her partner of her contribution to his success

Introduce you to Cris, flipped and secured your bricks
Ms. Jade helped her partner secure his wealth

Even though them kids ain't mine, let 'em call me mami
Ms. Jade loves her partner's children like her own

I deserve them dollars, trip to the Bahamas and Porsche rotten
Ms. Jade feels entitled to her partner's money and luxury lifestyle

I washed your clothes, put up wit your hoes
Ms. Jade took care of her partner's needs, including dealing with infidelity

Never fucked up yo dough, put the G in ya glow
Ms. Jade helped her partner maintain his reputation and wealth

So what you sweatin' me fo', I promoted them tours
Ms. Jade reminds her partner of all the work she did for him

I was poppin' them fours, run in and outta them stores
Ms. Jade spent money on high-end possessions

I cleaned up your spot, poured your brandy and scotch
Ms. Jade served her partner and maintained their home

Razor blades to the rocks, even lied to the cops
Ms. Jade went to great lengths to protect her partner's interests and kept his secrets

Played your wifey and mother, cousin, sister and brother
Ms. Jade took care of her partner's family and pretended to be his wife

Accountant lawyer and lover, I'm through dealin' wit suckers
Ms. Jade fulfilled multiple roles in their relationship and wants out

Shuttin' and lockin' the door, bout to settle the score
Ms. Jade is done with the relationship and is prepared to take action

Boy money ain't everything, married minus the ring
Ms. Jade realizes that money is not the most important aspect of life

Frequent Coach, mink, coats, cruises on ships and boats
Listing her high-end possessions and experiences

I gave you way more, can't there bout all your bulls
Ms. Jade believes she gave more to the relationship than her partner did

Since day one it was ours it never was yours
Ms. Jade feels like their wealth and possessions were always shared, not just her partner's

Uh - look at the bigger picture, study the ghetto scripture
Encouraging her partner to see the world beyond material possessions

Held your back when you was broke frontin' 'cause now you richer
Ms. Jade supported her partner when he was struggling and is frustrated with his current behavior

No frontin' in that there, Ms. Jade is everywhere
Ms. Jade asserts her presence and power

Enough talkin' I'm through, my lawyer will be callin' you
Ms. Jade ends the discussion and is prepared to take legal action

All this money that he's spendin', you owe me everything
Nelly Furtado insists that her partner owes her for her contributions to his wealth

I want to tell him it's not his money, he tell me to go away, baby
Frustrated that her partner dismisses her concerns and claims all of the wealth as his own

Wish he'd only give me a chance to show him that I'm alive
Nelly Furtado wants her partner to recognize her worth and contribution to their relationship

I'm gonna be there and you need peace and tender all up in his life
Nelly Furtado is determined to make things work and bring peace to their relationship

Outro: Ba da ba ba ching ching ching / Ba da ba ba ba ching ching / What about the money that I spent up today (Repeated)
Reiterating the main theme of the song, questioning the value of spending money frivolously
