'Memoirs' - Quavo, Offset and Takeoff jump things off over this Honorable C.N.O.T.E. production as they relive their come up and trying to turn their mansion into a castle. Seems like they were in trouble from the gate as Takeoff recalls, "First juug I hit at school, Lord please forgive me I know you remember that / Six period plotted on my teacher had to hit for that fundraiser fanny pack / Got home and counted the check / I'm thinking to myself Takeoff what you gone do wit that / Call the plug up ask him where he at / I'm celebrating smoking back to back."(Photo: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for Power 105.1)

'Dab Daddy' - Out with the old and in with the new as Migos put "swag" to rest and rechristen their allure "dab."

'Migos Origin' - Opening up shop over this Zaytoven bounce, the northside Atlanta representers laugh at the haters who initially wrote them off as one-hit wonders and declare that their reign is just starting. The track's hook cements their claim: "Disrupted the game, the industry was shook up / Three young rich n****s, never did a push up / You want the origin of the flow, you better shut the f**k up / And listen up to what the Migos bout to cook up."(Photo: Brad Barket/BET/Getty Images)

'Spray the Champagne' - The Migos tip their hat to the OGs who paved the way, but can't help but celebrate their taking of the crown. Shaking up the bottles before they pop them, Quavo flexes on his haters, "I s**t on the people that said I wouldn't make it / I pull up on them roll the window down / Yeah look at me now / Damn your car done broke down / I bet you won't riddle off me now / Look at how life turned around."(Photo: Brad Barket/BET/Getty Images)

'Street N***a Sacrifice' - Despite the come up, some rules remain the same and the Migos stay strapped and watch for fakes like they were still in the trap. Offset sends a reminder when he rhymes, "And you in the trap, watch out for the mice / Please don't get it twisted, we on the mic / Choppas eat you n****s like a termite."(Photo: Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images for BET)

'Highway 85' - Eazy-E is probably smiling from above as the Atlanta trappers give his classic "Boyz-n-the-Hood" a southern re-working when they take the boys in blue on a high speed chase. Riding dirty on this gangsta tale, Takeoff floors it with, "I see red and white blue lights while I look in my rear / Put the gas out, its Friday and it's smoky in here / F**k, another high speed chase, that's when the hemi kick in / Forgive me for my sins, I ain't going back to the pen."(Photo: Brad Barket/BET/Getty Images for BET)

'Just for Tonight,' Featuring Chris Brown - Breezy helps Quavo, Offset and Takeoff set the mood as they slow it down and kick game to the ladies. Smashing with no strings attached, Migos make it clear: "It's only for one night cause I know that you not really worth it / If I text you tomorrow you gonna be asking for Birkin / Don't be involved in your feelings cause Offset leaves b*****s hurting / I got to use me a condom cause I don't want no more Gerber..."(Photos from left: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for Power 105.1, Kevin Winter/Getty Images for iHeartMedia)
