[Intro]

[Hook: Quavo]
I growed up lookin' up to wrestlin'
I found it was fake and started hustlin'
Momma told me if you put the muscle in
You gon' make a lot of fuckin' millions
Call it M&Ms, M&M, M&Ms, M&M
You gon' make a lot of fuckin' millions
Call it M&Ms, M&M

[Verse 1: Quavo]
Chinchilla on, it's a hundred degrees
All this ice on, body on freeze
Came up runnin' from the police
Now I got the M&Ms, I tell the pig freeze
Remember bad bitches used to want me spendin' cheese
Now I'm on TV, I get the pussy just for free
And I like my money straight no perm just for me
If you try to catch up with me, yeah I'm out your league
Went and copped the Lambo just for the speed
I took your hoe and had to put her on her knees
Row your boat, her mouth is water like the sea
The pussy got me sea-sick, I need some Dramamine

[Verse 2: Offset]
Offset, my dreams was drivin' the Phantom
In reality I was just trappin'
All the robberies and the kidnappin'
It's a dirty game, you need a napkin
When you got millions, they'll try to assassin
When it come to music, got a passion
We legendary, not the average
Takeoff

[Verse 3: Takeoff]
All of my niggas had dreams, I put on my Louboutin, in red carpet scene
On the block, tryna' make some work, had to sort the fiend
Had to pick the pot, Billie Jean
I was a regular nigga, now people call me a celebrity nigga
Walkin' around with the M&M, M&M niggas
They call me a decimal nigga
Feeling like Peter Piper walkin' around with 'em peppers
I might go and pet me a nigga
Pull up in the Bentley with bulletproof windows
Migos sellin' out the Staples center

[Verse 4: Mac Miller]
My homies told me stop being modest and stunt a lil'
Cause most of these rappers just rap, and they never touch a mil
I'm just being honest, cuz God, he done made us prophets
To profit, no other option, my pockets is on Uncle Phil
Bitches audition for me, I keep her runnin' drills
Ain't no controllin' these hoes, the dome is mentally ill
Death to the enemy, ain't no rest til the death of me
Got it locked, penitentiary
Money mountains, Beverly Hills
Woah, it's Mac of all trades
Anything you all need shit I have it all day
It's big cash small change, goin' fast in all lanes
They was sleepin' on me, but I got 'em Adderall wake now
There's no denying me, bonified fire every time I speak the champ
One man dynasty, walk
Why you so sensitive, feminine
I've arrived, let me in motherfucker
Gotdamn

[Hook: Quavo]
I growed up lookin' up to wrestlin'
I found it was fake and started hustlin'
Momma told me if you put the muscle in
You gonna make a lot of fuckin' millions
Call it M&Ms, M&M, M&Ms, M&M
You gonna make a lot of fuckin' millions
Call it M&Ms, M&M

The Alchemist is a rapper and DJ on top of being one of the most prolific producers in hip-hop who is known for his eclectic beats. Al’s sample-heavy style has been associated with an East Coast sound even though he reps the West Coast, but he has worked with rappers from every region of America—including Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, and Eminem among others.

At 14 years old, Daniel Alan Maman from Beverly Hills, California entered the rap game as Mudfoot, one-half of The Whooliganz with actor Scott Caan in 1991. He also grew up with Evidence from Dilated Peoples and produced the crew’s debut single “Third Degree” in 1997. Al was mentored by Cypress Hill’s DJ Muggs, who taught him production techniques and later introduced him to Mobb Deep. Al’s early productions on Mobb Deep’s Murda Muzik album in 1999 began to grow his profile, which took off after the popularity of his production on the 2001 Jadakiss hit “We Gonna Make It.”

The Alchemist has been involved in many projects over the years. He released two compilations—2004’s 1st Infantry and 2009’s Chemical Warfare—a number of instrumental albums, mixtapes, as well as collaborative albums with Prodigy and Havoc of Mobb Deep, Curren$y, Freddie Gibbs, Action Bronson, Oh No (as Gangrene), and Evidence (as Step Brothers) to name a few. Al has served as a DJ for Eminem and Action Bronson shows, and Al has also been a frequent guest on Action Bronson’s Viceland food show Fuck, That’s Delicious. Al used vocal samples from the show throughout his 2020 album The Food Villain.
