Dequantes Lamar first considered a career in professional baseball, but in 2008, the Atlanta native issued the single "Stay Down" featuring the Stack Money Boyz. Things came to a halt when he landed in jail for a year on burglary charges, but upon his release in 2011, Quan began to make up for lost time. Hooking up with the Atlanta crew Loyalty Ova Royalties and becoming quick friends with member CEO Teezy came next, but Teezy's untimely death later in the year put a stop to Quan's planned mixtape debut. He would re-emerge a year later on the Think It's a Game label and release the mixtapes I Go in on Every Song plus Still Goin In. The year 2013 began with a tour opening for Trinidad James, along with a guest appearance on Gucci Mane's Trap House 3 album. In the summer, Quan issued the infectious club track "Type of Way," which cracked the Billboard Hot 100 chart. He also became a member of Rich Gang, and co-headlined the 2014 mixtape Tha Tour, Part 1 with Birdman and Young Thug. The tape received widespread acclaim, and the non-album single "Lifestyle" reached number 16 on the Hot 100. Quan released the track "Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)" in 2015, and it became his biggest solo hit, reaching number 26.
Rich Homie Quan continued releasing mixtapes, and in 2016 he landed a record deal with Motown. March 2017 saw the release of the single "Replay," which appeared on the Back to the Basics mixtape. Led by the singles "Change" and "34," his debut album, Rich as in Spirit, arrived in March 2018, peaking at number 32 on the Billboard 200. He then put out the EP The Gif, and Coma followed in 2019. Quan resumed releasing solo material in 2021, with the singles "Daily Bread" and "To Be Worried." His EP Family & Mula appeared in 2022. ~ David Jeffries & Paul Simpson, Rovi

Get money, f*** hoes (lil' whoadie 'bout that action)
Action, cash (lil' whoadie 'bout that action)
(Lil' whoadie 'bout that action)
N**** playin' with my whoadie, I'ma ride
She say that that p**** wet so I'ma slide
She pull up and f*** the crew like she connivin'
Hey, Imma cum all over her body
Hopped out the passenger side with my strap
From 50 to 100, we movin' and serve that
We shinin' every summer, spend numbers and bounce back
Lil' whoadie 'bout that action, we pull up, it's 'bout that
When I came 'round, I put it down, on front line, I did mine
Hustle life, we built this, had a block bumpin' like a second line
Cut n****s, them crunch n****s, them projects where cut, n****
Play around, you get cut, n****, get pulled down, I won't cut, n****
No lames
Born rich and dangerous
High life and famous
Big MACs and them straps, n****
Play around and get slashed, n****
Woo, know what I'm sayin' (lil' whoadie 'bout that action)
Get money, f*** hoes (lil' whoadie 'bout that action)
Action, cash (lil' whoadie 'bout that action)

N**** playin' with my whoadie, I'ma ride
She say that that p**** wet so I'ma slide
She pull up and f*** the crew like she connivin'
Hey, Imma cum all over her body
'73 Chevelle, put that s*** together
Married to the money, yeah we live together
Love my F&N but still keep that Beretta
Made it to the top and I ain't use a ladder
Ran up a check, ran up a check (cash)
Pass that s*** around, then I go collect
Made it out the hood, now I'm on TV
Posted with Young Thugger, sippin' GTV, vodka
Smokin' on the headband, n****, I'm a stoner
Went from hangin' on the corner to hangin' with owners
Yeah, it's the Juugman for n****s who don't know me
I just did a feature, went and copped a Rollie
Woo, know what I'm sayin' (lil' whoadie 'bout that action)
Get money, f*** hoes (lil' whoadie 'bout that action)
Action, cash (lil' whoadie 'bout that action)

She say that that p**** wet so I'ma slide
She pull up and f*** the crew like she connivin'
Hey, Imma cum all over her body
(Yapper) aye man, we really, we really haven't,
A lot already around the spot, you know what I'm sayin'
N****s down there, cause they, that's my blood
That's my slime fool
F*** you mean
Nascar speed on 'em
I got b****es in the spot callin' me big homie
I'm bouncin' like a trampoline, homie
So in love with this cash, all my shows have the cream, homie
I'm bangin' red like strawberries
I told your b**** ain't goin' steady
My weed is loud and you smokin' libraries
I got a thing for that fetti
All my diamonds green like lettuce
And what you worth to me? petty
Let's get it
Woo, know what I'm sayin' (lil' whoadie 'bout that action)
Get money, f*** hoes (lil' whoadie 'bout that action)
