Ba da ba ba ching ching ching
Ba da ba ba ba ching ching
What about the money that I spent up today [Repeat: x 4]
[Timbaland]
Tim took you from ghetto to class, how to hold your glass
To Fendi's to bags, for holdin' your cash
I brought you the private, ounce wit the gates
Thinkin' that stuff make me faint, just whistle real fast
Cougars roll in the grass, same cat on your Jag
Why your keepin' them tabs, and callin' me for
It cost every minute, and you know I'm on tour
And I'm deeply committed, although I'm forgettin'
Sometimes while hittin' it ,different names would slip
If I been wit a chick, check me miss
Your complexion switched, honey you been on trips
But you don't appreciate this, till your back in the Jetta
No iceberg you own, just Angelica's sweaters
If the steaks ain't T-Bone, you ain't properly fed
Hun tonight is bet burgers, no cheese on the bread
And I say
[Hook: x 2]
What about my ching ching ching
What about my bling bling bling
What about the money that I spent up today
What about his ching ching ching
What about his bling bling bling
What about his money that I spent up today
[Ms. Jade]
Boy you act like I need ya, came down wit amnesia
Ran to why'alls in the meters, nuttin' but hate in between us
Now you come poppin' this shit, nigga I made you rich
Introduce you to Cris, flipped and secured your bricks
Even though them kids ain't mine, let 'em call me mami
I deserve them dollars, trip to the Bahamas and Porsche rotten
I washed your clothes, put up wit your hoes
Never fucked up yo dough, put the G in ya glow
So what you sweatin' me fo', I promoted them tours
I was poppin' them fours, run in and outta them stores
I cleaned up your spot, poured your brandy and scotch
Razor blades to the rocks, even lied to the cops
Played your wifey and mother, cousin, sister and brother
Accountant lawyer and lover, I'm through dealin' wit suckers
Shuttin' and lockin' the door, bout to settle the score
You wastin' my time, nigga, but what about my nigga
[Hook: x 2]
What about your ching ching ching
What about your bling bling bling
So what you spent up all your money today
What about his ching ching ching
What about his bling bling bling
What about his money that I spent up today
[Ms. Jade]
Boy money ain't everything, married minus the ring
Frequent Coach, mink, coats, cruises on ships and boats
I gave you way more, can't there bout all your bulls
Since day one it was ours it never was yours
Uh - look at the bigger picture, study the ghetto scripture
Held your back when you was broke frontin' 'cause now you richer
No frontin' in that there, Ms. Jade is everywhere
Enough talkin' I'm through, my lawyer will be callin' you
[Nelly Furtado]
All this money that he's spendin', you owe me everything
I want to tell him it's not his money, he tell me to go away, baby
Wish he'd only give me a chance to show him that I'm alive
I'm gonna be there and you need peace and tender all up in his life
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Hook: x 2]
What about my ching ching ching
What about my bling bling bling
What about the money that I spent up today
What about his ching ching ching
What about his bling bling bling
What about his money that I spent up today
[Outro: x 4]
Ba da ba ba ching ching ching
Ba da ba ba ba ching ching
What about the money that I spent up today
The lyrics of the song Ching Ching by Ms. Jade ft Nelly Furtado Timba depict a relationship that revolves around money. Nelly Furtado starts the song by questioning where all the money she spent that day went, while Timbaland replies he spent it on luxurious items for her. He took her from the "ghetto" to "class" and taught her how to hold a glass and introduced her to Fendi's and bags for holding her cash. He spent money on private jets and luxury items, and she called him for help, knowing that every minute with him cost money.
Ms. Jade's verse is about how she helped Timbaland rise to fame and wealth but is not getting the appreciation or compensation she deserves. She points out that she did his laundry, cleaned his apartment, introduced him to important people, and even lied to the cops for him. She demanded to be compensated for her time and effort. Nelly Furtado joins in again in the outro, once again questioning the money spent that day.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a relationship where money is a significant factor, and the power dynamic is skewed towards the person with more wealth. The song highlights the struggles of individuals who help their partners build wealth, and they are often unappreciated or taken for granted.
