Try me leave you a memorial
Off in the river they finding you snorkeling
My bitches addicted to Michael Kors
Very sadiddy items just like Tom Ford
I got the white like a chalkboard
Break in the trap you gon' pay for it
20 pairs of Christian Louboutins
Pick a shoe, pick a shoe, pick a shoe
They asking 'bout what it is to beef with you rappers
Sorry I don't want an interview
Thundershock the pot like Pikachu (pika!)
Where is my revenue?
They investigating like the Blue's Clues

Most of my people they didn't believe until I turned into a Hercules
Ever since day one we took off
I talked to God, he said "Murda please!"

Locked up doing time, Lambo no mind
Jesus pieces, nigga spiritual
I just woke up in a mansion
Wondering how the fuck did this shit happen
The blogs, they say I be snapping
Making a movie, lights, camera, action
I'm beating the pot, knuckles gotta fraction
We invented the flow niggas got it packed
When we walk in the club we the main attraction
Too much smoke in the room, breathing like Toni Braxton
These bitches they loving our personality
You niggas so sweet I might catch a cavity
I'm the king of this shit nigga I'm your majesty
Drinking lean and my bitch drinking Daiquiri

Booting your bitch up with molly rocks
That Rolex ain't real if it tic-toc
They asking me when is the mixtape gon' drop
Peekaboo all of my diamonds shining
Pissy my diamonds in China
My necklace dripping down my spinal

Overall Meaning

The song "Peek-A-Boo" by Migos is a rap song that talks about their success and wealth. The lyrics speak about their diamonds, which they compare to Pikachu, a famous Pokemon character. They also mention their expensive cars, mansions, and high-end fashion products like Michael Kors and Christian Louboutins. The chorus repeats the phrase "Peek-a-boo," which is a phrase used in the game of the same name to surprise someone by suddenly appearing or hiding. In this context, it means that Migos are showing off their luxurious lifestyle to anyone who may be watching, hence asking them to "peek" at them.


The verses, on the other hand, are packed with references to pop culture, sports, and their personal journey to success. There is mention of Michael Jordan and Steve Nash, basketball players known for their passing and blocking skills, respectively. They describe how they had to work hard, "beat the pot," and try out different avenues to achieve their wealth, while their bitches are addicted to Michael Kors. The song's bridge uses a wordplay on the signature move of Pikachu, electric shock or "thundershock," but turns it into a metaphor for cooking crack.
