Honestly, blast this song until the government shutdown ends.

Cardi B's viral Instagram rant about the government shutdown is a song now, and it's an absolute banger.

In the original video, which was been retweeted by stans and lawmakers alike, the rapper angrily complains about how ridiculous it is that Trump ordered federal employees to return to work without pay.

"I don't want to hear y'all motherfuckers talking about 'Oh, but Obama shut down the government for 17 days' ..." she said. "Yeah, bitch! For healthcare! Our country is in a hellhole right now. All for a fucking wall."

Then The Gregory Brothers, a group of artists who make "songs out of things that were previously not songs" set it to "Bodak Yellow."

It's ... incredible. Who wouldn't dance to Cardi B explaining the difference between Obama's government shutdown and Trump's? Who doesn't want to twerk to Cardi B reminding everyone that the Affordable Care Act lets your grandma get her blood pressure checked? What gets clubbers more lit than Cardi B ranting that federal government employees have gone three weeks without a paycheck?

Other Twitter users agreed: the song slaps. Cue the gifs.
