Aye Offset (yo), aye Takeoff, (what's up, unc?)

You remember that shit we did way way way back in the day?

(I remember that) Motherfuckers said it wasn't gonna work

We was some crazy young niggas huh?

I'd like to welcome you to Yung Rich Nation

I know you been patiently waiting

Yung Rich Nation that's the album

Tryna turn the mansion to a castle

Diamond shine came from Africa, shine, shine (Africa)

(Young Rich Niggas we some bachelors) Ooh, damn, bachelor

Turn the club to a massacre (fuck it up, fuck the club up)

If you a broke nigga I'm sad at ch'ya, (pitiful) Sad to say, why what you do?

First check bought a Audi Coupe

It was black and grey like the Raiders

First check bought a Challenger

It was 10 bands so I paid it

Remember the time, Offset he got me high

That was right by the neighbors house? (yeah)

Remember the time we broke in the neighbors house

That was our first paper route

Remember the time they shot up my mama house

12 tried to make it my fault (damn)

Remember the time you niggas laughed at me

Said that I wouldn't bond out (hahaha)

You say that you trappin', take you to the bando

And you a front see whatchu 'bout

Before we made the song Hit Em' wit it

We was knockin' niggas out

Before we made the song 'Birds', pelicans fly to the south

Niggas talkin' stupid up in crowd

Jumped in the crowd and punched em' in the mouth

First time we in Miami, we had a gangsta shootout

Dope in my sock, and we beat the trap out

Don't come in my trap if you unannounced (pussy)

Diamond shine came from Africa (Shine, shine, Africa)

Young Rich Niggas we some bachelors (Ooh, dab, bachelor)

Turn the club to a massacre (fuck it up, fuck the club up)

If you a broke nigga I'm sad at ch'ya (pitiful), sad to say, why what you do?

Remember the time, I did my first breaking in?

Me, myself & I ain't had nobody wit me

Cause I ain't want my uncles know I did it

Remember the time I got kicked out for havin' gas stashed in my locker?

In the gym choppin' it up wit my partners

Next thing you know got walked out by the coppers

First juug I hit at school, Lord please forgive me

I know you remember that

6 peer plotted on my teacher had to hit for that fundraiser fetti pack

Got home and counted the check

I'm thinkin' to myself Takeoff what you gon' do wit that

Call the plug up ask him where he at

I'm celebratin' smokin' back to back

Remember that time Quavo came home with a full grown marijuana plant

Stackin' up the crib tryin' dry it off in the oven it was still wet

Mama came in smelt the odor said "Damn boy I can catch contact"

I got that dope talkin' anthrax, who'd had thought when we hit for fifty racks

Diamond shine came from Africa (Shine, shine, Africa)

Young Rich Niggas we some bachelors (Ooh, dab, bachelor)

Turn the club to a massacre (fuck it up, fuck the club up)

If you a broke nigga I'm sad at ch'ya (pitifu), sad to say, why what you do?
