Pinky ring, yellow canary

Touch down on the pack and I run it like Barry (ooh)

Got me dabbin', Yung Rich Nation gear (Yung Rich Nation)

Lookin' like I'm not from 'round here

Young nigga dabbin' out the atmosphere (dab)

You niggas still sayin' "Swag"

My niggas switched it up, we call it "Dab"

Step out with a light dab, I call it a jab (Hey)

Michael Jordan, I'm perfecting my craft

No money counter, count it up with my hands (Uh-huh)

Young nigga, I can show you how to do math

Sippin' on drank, 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 (Hey)

Mr. McMahon, I fire you and your staff (Aye)

Watchin' you niggas dabbin' made me laugh (haha)

Dabbin' is a way of fashion (dab)

Touchdown like I'm Takeoff McFadden (ayy)

Call a play like I'm Takeoff John Madden (ayy)

Should get a platinum plaque for all this dabbin'

You niggas should get a Grammy, way you actin'

Enough of that swag, I put it in a casket

Look at my dab, yo' bitch droppin' her panties

I feel fantastic, immaculate dabbin'

Stay off my grass, call me Takeoff Stanley (dab)

Look at my dab (bitch, dab)

Look at my dab (bitch, dab)

Look at my dab (bitch, dab)

Get in there, get in there (bitch, dab)

Get in there, get in there (bitch, dab)

Look at my dab (dab)

(Hey)

So now niggas dabbin'

Before it was swaggin'

Nigga thinkin' that it's just a dance

When dabbin' is a way of fashion

See, I'm tryin' to teach y'all the rules and regulations

'Cause there's a lot of niggas out here perpetrating

No temptations, Migos sensation

Seen a lot of faces, why not make a Young Rich Nation?

Ayy
