Cross the Country
Migos Lyrics

It's been a long time coming
We have been working hard for a while to achieve success

From young niggas to young rich niggas
We started from humble beginnings and now we are wealthy

It's DJ Durel and I'd like to welcome you to Rich Nigga Timeline
DJ Durel is introducing us to the story of our journey to success

Young rich nigga riding round the city with the mac
As a wealthy individual, I drive through the city with a gun

Take a chopper, and a chicken, now watch the leakin' (ba-bow)
I use a helicopter and a firearm, causing fear and violence

Whipping and breaking it, making it, taking it
I am successfully producing and selling drugs

Nigga they mistake me, think I'm selling that midget (nah, for real)
People wrongly assume I am involved in illegal activities, but I am actually innocent

What the fuck a nigga really wanna talk about? (Shit)
I have no interest in engaging with someone who has nothing important to say

You a bitch, we ain't got nothing to talk about
You are a weak person, so there is no point in having a conversation

Shaking like a stripper, put that mac chicken up in his mouth
I scare and intimidate someone, forcing them to comply with my demands

Skippa Da Flippa, he told me weigh it up and bust it down
My friend, Skippa Da Flippa, instructed me on how to measure and package drugs

Migo Jerz, whipping that lambo, now watch it swerve
My friend Migo Jerz is driving a Lamborghini, showcasing his success

Tray 1 got PT's, and sold that reserved
Tray 1 had a supply of drugs and quickly sold them

I'm a hot boy, so you know I gotta stay low (hot)
Since I am involved in criminal activities, I have to remain inconspicuous

Quavo told me, trap on the block and bang 'em like OJ Mayo
Quavo advised me to engage in drug dealing and use violence to intimidate others

You niggas are rookie but young Takeoff, I'm a vet (vet)
I am experienced in the streets, while you are inexperienced and new

'Set told me trapping and dabbing gon' get that pussy wet
My friend 'Set informed me that engaging in drug dealing and dancing will attract women

No Crocodile Dundee, Stingray vet
I am not like Crocodile Dundee, but I am highly knowledgeable about stingrays and drug dealing

Whatever I wanna do, I do it, Nike check (do it)
I have the freedom to do whatever I want, like the Nike slogan 'Just Do It'

I'm a young nigga with the rich nigga ambitions
Although I am young, I aspire to achieve the wealth and status of successful individuals

At the Migo show, a nigga autographing titties
During our performance, I sign the breasts of female fans

There's levels to this shit like Meek said
As Meek Mill said, there are different levels of achievement and success

And you embarrassed to admit it, I don't want to kick it
You are ashamed to acknowledge the truth, and I don't want to associate with you

After my show, the gangster-ist nigga, he looking suspicious
Following my performance, a highly dangerous individual appears suspicious

Walk right up on him, I'm pressing my nigga
I approach him directly, exerting dominance and intimidation

And all he wanted was a picture
Surprisingly, all he wanted was a photograph with me

I used to smoke Swishers like a regular nigga
I used to smoke inexpensive cigars, but now I have refined tastes

Now I'm a Backwoods type of nigga
Now, I prefer to smoke high-quality Backwoods cigars

A nigga, he ran up, tried to rob, I shot him
Someone attempted to rob me, but I defended myself by shooting him

White people, they still treat me like I'm a victim
Even though I am successful, some white people still view me as a victim of society

Now people they screaming out 'Free Actavis'
Many people are advocating for the release of Actavis cough syrup

They talking bout that Actavis be discontinued
There are discussions about discontinuing Actavis cough syrup

Check my cup of muddy trouble, got packs in the attic
Inspect my cup of codeine, there are drugs stashed in the attic

Catch me riding with packs in my rental
You will find me driving with drugs in a rented car

Trap, trap dab when I'm on the revenue
I engage in drug dealing and dance the dab when making money

Cooking a brick and remix it with the dog food
I am converting cocaine into crack and mixing it with other unmentionable substances

Diamond brick come with a note on it, nigga you Blues Clues
The diamond I possess is shaped like a brick and has a message, making you reminiscent of the children's show 'Blue's Clues'

24 karat my chain, Mr. T pity the fool
My chain is made of 24-karat gold, similar to Mr. T, and fools should be cautious

Master P, No Limit money, bando jumping like a bungee
I have a significant amount of money, just like Master P, and my drug operation is thriving

Kevin Hart, your money is too short, you too funny
Kevin Hart, your wealth is insignificant, and your comedy is amusing but not respected

Call me Takeoff Hugh Hefner, I got playboy bunnies
Refer to me as Takeoff Hugh Hefner, as I have multiple attractive women in my company

Fuck it, I beat it, she sucking me 'til a nigga be cumming
I indulge in sexual activities, receiving oral pleasure until I reach climax

When you in the streets, you know you gotta make a name
When you are involved in criminal activities, it is essential to establish a reputation

I stole a Mustang, drop top, no brain
I illegally acquired a convertible Mustang without any regard for consequences

Police had a nigga, cause they know I'm in a gang
Law enforcement arrested me because they suspected my involvement in a criminal organization

Taking pictures of a nigga like a groupie, like a fan
People are capturing photographs of me as if I am a famous person or celebrity

On my first lick, only got a little bit of change
During my initial criminal activity, I only gained a small amount of money

Thinking like Obama, something gotta change
I am contemplating like President Obama, realizing that something needs to be different

Did a lot of dirt, I had to sit up in the chains
I committed numerous crimes and subsequently served time in prison

When I got outta jail, did the same thing
Once released from prison, I resumed engaging in criminal activities

I spent that money, money, coming back like boomerang
I irresponsibly wasted the money I obtained, but it returned to me like a boomerang

Cocaine in her nose like a septum ring
She consumes cocaine, snorting it through her nose, resembling a septum ring

My niggas be trapping the gas, propane
My associates are involved in drug dealing, specializing in high-quality cocaine

Hit the nigga with a chopper, nigga bang bang
I physically assaulted someone with a firearm

I was getting money, way before the rap game
I was making substantial amounts of money prior to becoming a rapper

As a young nigga, used to wear the fake chain
When I was younger, I wore counterfeit jewelry

They say that I'm ignorant, $50,000 on a chain
Some people consider me uneducated, yet I am wearing an expensive chain worth $50,000

You know it ain't come from Johnny Dang
This jewelry didn't come from Johnny Dang, a popular jeweler

Fake watch busta can't bust me, no lie
Someone who exposes people with fake watches cannot expose me, as I am genuine

Won't catch me with the fake jewellery, I got too much pride
I have too much self-respect to be seen wearing false jewelry

They killed my nigga Pistol P for a three-five
My friend Pistol P was murdered for possessing a small quantity of drugs

I pay the ticket, when are you gon' die
I take responsibility for my actions, but I wonder when you will face the consequences

When I'm in the kitchen, I be cooking crack pies
When I am preparing drugs, it is similar to baking crack-filled pies

I got chickens in the trunk, you think I work at Popeyes
I have drugs hidden in my car, making it seem like I work at Popeyes

The streets is the jungle, my nigga, you better survive
The streets are a dangerous place, and you must do whatever it takes to stay alive

Getting married to the money nigga, that my bride
I prioritize money above all else, considering it to be my significant other

My diamonds gon' shine, might poke you in the eye
My diamonds are so dazzling that they may cause discomfort or even poke someone in the eye

You selling by the ounce, my nigga, you just getting by
You are selling drugs in small quantities, barely making enough to survive

Put the birds in my hands, knows when's it gon' fly
I have control over the drugs, knowing when and where they will be distributed

Glah! Glah! Glah! In the bushes like a spy
Gunshots! Gunshots! Gunshots! Hidden like a spy in the bushes

Nigga talking stupid, we don't let that shit fly
If someone speaks foolishly, we do not tolerate it

Talking crazy to the Migos, boy you know we keep the fire
Speaking disrespectfully to us, the Migos, is dangerous because we possess firearms

Got that chopper, flip a nigga like a domino
I have a large firearm that can cause a person to fall like a domino

Young rich nigga, never made the honor roll
Although I am now wealthy, I never achieved academic success

Hit his ass with the .44, make him fold
I shot him with a .44 caliber gun, causing him to collapse

Chattahoochee River where that nigga body float
We disposed of the dead body in the Chattahoochee River

On the nation, my nigga we throwing up the forks
I swear on the gang, we are displaying hand signs associated with our gang

She on a mission, trying to fuck me, better get your ho
She is determined to engage in sexual activity with me, so you better handle your woman

Big bank take little bank
The person with more money will take money from someone with less

Yellow diamonds on my rella like a moon cake
I have yellow diamonds on my umbrella that resemble moon cakes

Two Glocks on my hip like Tomb Raider
I have two pistols on my hip, just like Tomb Raider's protagonist, Lara Croft

Arnold Schwarzenegger turn into the Terminator
Similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger's role as the Terminator, I transform and become deadly

You may never been there, catch me cross the country
You may have never traveled extensively, but you can find me traveling all around the country

Coca leaves and palm trees, we cross the country
We transport cocaine and enjoy the tropical surroundings as we travel across the country

She don't understand English but she want me
Although she doesn't speak English, she desires a relationship with me

I had to get a Visa cause I'm in and out the country
I needed a Visa because I frequently travel in and out of different countries
