Handsome and Wealthy
Migos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴I don't know
I don't know why I came
I don't know why I came

I don't know why I came in this club with you, girl
Don't know why I came in with these diamonds on my chain
Surrounded by bad bitches I can't get 'em out my face
Maybe 'cause a nigga handsome and wealthy

Is it 'cause a nigga cook like a professor
I don't know how you feel can you tell me
I won't know how you feel 'til you tell me
Is it 'cause a nigga handsome and wealthy

Is it 'cause I'm a star
It maybe could be my star status
I got my chain and ring
My Rolex watch it got fifity carat
It could be QC or even maybe it's me
It could be that four hour flight, shopping in Beverly
What's on your mind?
I'm not Ginuwine
Ain't tryna spend no time
I know my bitch she so fine
But I don't know what's on her mind
Gotta pay that cost to be a boss
I put on my Louboutins playing golf
Young nigga walking with Nina Ross
I'm dropping the bombs like Viet Cong

I don't know why I came in this club with you, girl
Don't know why I came in with these diamonds on my chain
Surrounded by bad bitches I can't get 'em out my face
Maybe 'cause a nigga handsome and wealthy
Is it 'cause a nigga cook like a professor
I don't know how you feel can you tell me
I won't know how you feel 'til you tell me
Is it 'cause a nigga handsome and wealthy

They say I'm picky 'cause all my bitches exquisite
I'm in some vintage Givenchy smokin' a Philly
The dope that I sell is the purest
The junkies they hit it, they scratchin' and itchin'
The flow that we killin', the flow that we spittin'
My nigga you know we invented it
Dripping in St. Louis, I'm a lunatic
I'm a Migo but my bitch an immigrant
I got the boot but no Timberland
I am the plug, you the middle man
I never leave my niggas starvin'
You niggas mistake me for Marvin
I got fifteen bricks I'm finna drop
In there right next to that carbon

I don't know why I came in this club with you, girl
Don't know why I came in with these diamonds on my chain
Surrounded by bad bitches I can't get 'em out my face
Maybe 'cause a nigga handsome and wealthy
Is it 'cause a nigga cook like a professor
I don't know how you feel can you tell me
I won't know how you feel 'til you tell me
Is it 'cause a nigga handsome and wealthy

Is it my looks or is it my wealth?
Or is it the way that I carry myself?
Let me know I need some help
Don't keep that secret to yourself

Bitches be saying I'm acting funny 'cause a young nigga got a lotta money
She lookin' at me like she want somethin'
Can't give her nothin' but a couple hundreds
She sucked up on a nigga, tryna give a nigga kisses baby girl you trippin'

I, I, I don't know how you feel can you tell me
I know why you came
In this club tonight
Looking for a nigga that's gon' change your life

I don't know why I came in this club with you, girl
Don't know why I came in with these diamonds on my chain
Surrounded by bad bitches I can't get 'em out my face
Maybe 'cause a nigga handsome and wealthy
Is it 'cause a nigga cook like a professor
I don't know how you feel can you tell me

I won't know how you feel 'til you tell me
Is it 'cause a nigga handsome and wealthy


Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Migos's "Handsome and Wealthy" are all about the singer's confusion regarding his current circumstances. He doesn't know why he came to the club with the girl he's with, nor does he know why he's sporting such expensive jewelry. Despite being surrounded by desirable women, he's unsure why he's even there, and wonders if it's because he's "handsome and wealthy." He asks the girl with him for clarification, professing ignorance about her feelings and motivations. He then speculates whether it's his fame, status, or accessories that are the root of his current situation, ultimately asking the ultimate question - is it his looks or wealth that's attracting her attention?


The song portrays the confusion that many members of the wealthy and famous experience. Despite having every material possession they can want, they often find themselves missing something crucial. They are unable to discern whether people are interested in them for their looks, status, or wealth, and may even feel used or manipulated. The song's protagonist yearns for honesty and clarity, seeking to ensure that he's not being exploited.

The drugs I sell are of the highest quality


The junkies they hit it, they scratchin' and itchin'

Could it be my appearance or my financial status?


Or is it the way that I carry myself?
Maybe it's my confident attitude


Let me know I need some help
Please let me know, I'm unsure


Don't keep that secret to yourself
Please share the information with me


Bitches be saying I'm acting funny 'cause a young nigga got a lotta money
Women think I'm behaving strangely because I have a lot of money


She lookin' at me like she want somethin'
She's giving me a certain look implying she desires something


Can't give her nothin' but a couple hundreds
The only thing I can offer her is some cash


She sucked up on a nigga, tryna give a nigga kisses baby girl you trippin'
She's giving me unwanted attention, and I'm not interested


I know why you came
I understand the reason you're here


Looking for a nigga that's gon' change your life
You're seeking someone who will drastically alter your existence
