That sts got to stop.

Anthony denied that the song was anti-poor.

And the obese milkin welfare.

Well, God, if youre 5-foot-3 and youre 300 pounds.

Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds.

He said that there may some people who misunderstood my words in the song.

Welfare only makes up a small percentage of our budget.

That is all the song is trying to say.

Its just saying that the government takes people who are needy and dependent and makes them needy and dependent.

Anthonys song iscurrently No.

1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

And they can keep trying, but I am just going to keep writing.
