Migos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Money and the power, you gotta have respect
Benz coupe, Jaguar, G-5 jets
Young Rich Niggas, Young Rich Niggas
Young Rich Niggas, Young Rich Niggas
Money and the power, you gotta have respect
Benz coupe, Jaguar, G-5 jets
Young Rich Niggas, Young Rich Niggas
Young Rich Niggas, Young Rich Niggas

Young Rich Nigga, I'm draped up in Versace
I went up to the jeweler
When I left I'm playin' hockey
Bad bitches like it
She see Rarris & Buggatis
I'm poppin' bottles in the vip
She rollin' off a Molly
Fendi Prada Louie bally
I don't need a stylist
I'm takin' all my goons to Cali
Then we hit the islands
Order up 500 1s, I throw it all it follies
Plug in Japan, so we kick it like karate
Bad bitch from Switzerland
Her daddy G o`Donnie
Every time I'm on the phone
We talkin' 'bout some money
I weigh it up, and wrap it up
I ship it across the country
The streets a concrete jungle
Play the game like it's Jumanji

Money and the power, you gotta have respect
Benz coupe, Jaguar, G-5 jets
Young Rich Niggas, Young Rich Niggas
Young Rich Niggas, Young Rich Niggas
Money and the power, you gotta have respect
Benz coupe, Jaguar, G-5 jets
Young Rich Niggas, Young Rich Niggas
Young Rich Niggas, Young Rich Niggas

My pockets is sloppy
Only buy Rarris and Gottis
My clothes are exotic, Versace you copy
Migo gang is my posse
Takin' over like the Nazi's
I just got out the county
Money old like Bill Cosby
Hunnid bands, in all hundreds
When I make it rain it thunder
Cop a Lam every summer
Wrappin' bricks like it's a condom
I'm a rich nigga bitch
Don't even think about licks
Slap a nigga with a stack
Then I piss on that bitch
In the club sippin lean
But I'm still buying cris
Shawty wanna talk to Offset
Bitch you ain't on the list
Don't mix the lean with the sprite
Drink my mud out the seal
I'm in Louie and Bally
I rock my bitches Chanel

Money and the power, you gotta have respect
Benz coupe, Jaguar, G-5 jets
Young Rich Niggas, Young Rich Niggas
Young Rich Niggas, Young Rich Niggas
Money and the power, you gotta have respect
Benz coupe, Jaguar, G-5 jets
Young Rich Niggas, Young Rich Niggas
Young Rich Niggas, Young Rich Niggas

Young Rich Nigga follow me like Twitter
All green diamonds on my neck
Look like the Riddler
Red white & green Louis bought them
On the day of Christmas
Im the teacher you the student
Put you in detention
I got the camic you my chef
And put you in the kitchen
Now you dirty dancing boarding
Wippin washing dishes
I took yo main bitch and then
I turned her to my mistress
Pull up in Audi pull up in Rarri whip
Full of net it is a mystery
The rich nigga of the century
It's going down in history
Energizer bunny wrist keep going
It got energy
Back then you ain't know me now
That sack make you remember me
Got that 45 for my enemy tell the
Lord forgive the sin in me

Money and the power, you gotta have respect
Benz coupe, Jaguar, G-5 jets
Young Rich Niggas, Young Rich Niggas
Young Rich Niggas, Young Rich Niggas
Money and the power, you gotta have respect
Benz coupe, Jaguar, G-5 jets

Overall Meaning

The song “Young Rich Niggas” by Migos can be interpreted as an ode to the lifestyle of wealthy young black men. The chorus suggests that having money and power demands respect, and the group asserts their status through their expensive cars and private jets. Additionally, the group highlights their lavish spending habits through references to designer clothing, VIP experiences, and international travel. The verses offer more insight into the group's lives, from Offset's time in jail to Quavo's relationship with a Swiss girl. The overall message of the song can be seen as a celebration of the young black male experience of overcoming poverty and making it big.


One interesting fact about "Young Rich Niggas" is that it was the name of Migos' debut mixtape, which was released in 2013. The group has often been credited with popularizing the trap music subgenre, which originated in Atlanta. They have collaborated with numerous other artists, including Drake, Gucci Mane, and Lil Uzi Vert. The song "Bad and Boujee" from their 2017 album "Culture" became their first number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The group's members are Quavo (born Quavious Keyate Marshall), Offset (born Kiari Kendrell Cephus), and Takeoff (born Kirshnik Khari Ball).


Another interesting fact is that Migos is known for their unique ad-libs, such as Offset's "Offset!" and Quavo's "Quavo Huncho" and "Mama!" These ad-libs have become synonymous with the group's sound and helped to differentiate them from other artists in the trap music scene. The group's name "Migos" is derived from the Spanish word "amigos," meaning "friends." Their signature triplet flow, which involves three consecutive syllables in a rapid-fire rhythm, has been widely imitated in the hip-hop community. The group has faced controversy in the past for making homophobic remarks in interviews, though they have since apologized and taken steps to make amends.


If known, the chords for "Young Rich Niggas" are not provided as it is primarily a rap song and does not heavily rely on musical instrumentation.
