Money counter, count it up with my hands
Young nigga, I can show you how to do math
Sippin' and drinkin', I pour me some muddy
My nigga not tryin' to remember my past
Don't come to my hood if you ain't got a pass
Eat up the dab like linguini and crab
Mr. McMahon, I fire you and your staff
Watchin' you niggas dabbin' made me laugh

Touchdown like I'm Takeoff McFadden
Call a play like I'm Takeoff John Madden

You niggas should get a Grammy, the way you actin'
Enough of that swag I put it in a casket
Look at my dab, yo bitch droppin' her panties

When dabbin' is a way of fashion
See I'm tryin' to teach y'all the rules and regulations

No temptations, Migos sensation
Seen a lot of faces, why not make a Young Rich Nation
