"We Need Some Money" is a single by the Washington, D.C.-based go-go band Chuck Brown & the Soul Searchers, which was released as a single in 1984. The song has been sampled by many hip-hop artists, including songs by Kid 'n Play and Wreckx-n-Effect, and is currently used in many promotional advertisements for the D.C. Lottery. Baltimore-area rock band Clutch has long used a bootleg version of the song as their live-show introduction, and released a cover version on the deluxe version of their 2015 album "Psychic Warfare."
