My EBT
"My EBT" is a hip-hop song performed by Stanley Lafleur under the alias "Mr. EBT". The song laments what can be done with an Electronic Benefit Transfer card (used for financial entitlements in the United States.)
The song and its video became controversial, especially among conservative pundits, who considered the song a glorification of the country's welfare system.
==Content==
The lyrics of "My EBT" are based on real-life examples of welfare abuse that Lafleur had witnessed first-hand. The song laments a person using their sister's E.B.T. card (which is considered to be a fraudulent and hence also abusive use of the card) to acquire a large array of junk food (mostly potato chips and soft drinks) from various stores ("never going hungry, swiping all day"), and attempting to, but failing to also purchase drugs and alcohol on the card as well.〔 As an excuse for the actions, the song also states that it is okay because "it's an E.B.T., it ain't food stamps."
The song was also accompanied by a music video posted on YouTube, which featured Lafleur going around to various stores to purchase junk food using an E.B.T. card, much like what is described in the song itself.〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IGfe2tAUbM〕
