No Future
Deejay Will.i Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is no future
We should stop dreaming
All of the passion
All of the context
Give it up now boy
And go get your paycheck
But I am no sheep
I will not let go of the reason that I breathe
2023
See me on your screen
Hudson on my team
And we level up every week
When we link up with a beat
We will not sleep
Planting them seeds
We become trees
We got the span of the globe up in our optics
What wasn't seen at 17 is now in blossom
They tell me to stay down to earth
Don't get cocky
But I will fly in this bitch like Mary Poppins
I will drive away with this shit because I'm confident
Don't be a hater cause you not kid
The ones who get down on the dream are most toxic
While I rub my shit in your face cause I'm obnoxious
Oh yes indeed
Ima flex OD yeah
And if you got a problem with the way I show it off
You can beat your feet in
See as I got older
The chip on my shoulder got bigger and bolder
My fucked up head got sicker and grosser
The fire burned harder
The pit got colder
My cup need more
Let that bitch runneth over
In Deejay Will.i's song No Future, the lyrics express the idea that some people do not believe in the power of dreams and that there is no future in chasing them. The singer addresses these skeptics, telling them to give up on their passion and go for the easy paycheck instead. However, the singer refuses to give up on his dreams and will not let go of the critical part of him that keeps him motivated. He goes on to describe a future where he and his team, represented by Hudson, will continue to level up and succeed, planting seeds that eventually turn into trees. The lyrics suggest that while some people may try to hold you down or discourage you from pursuing your dreams, you shouldn't give up and stay headstrong and confident in your abilities.
The song also touches on self-doubt, the struggle to maintain motivation, and the complexity of the creative process. As the singer got older, the chip on his shoulder grew bigger, his head became more messed up, and the fire burned harder. He compares his passion to a cup that needs to be continually refilled to keep going.
Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of believing in yourself and pursuing your dreams, even when it feels like no one else is on your side.

You can leave or go away
See as I got older
As I matured and aged
The chip on my shoulder got bigger and bolder
The burden or grudge I carried became greater and more defiant
My fucked up head got sicker and grosser
My mental state deteriorated and became more twisted
The fire burned harder
My passion and relentlessness intensified
The pit got colder
The challenges and hardships I faced became more daunting
My cup need more
I need more in my life to be fulfilled
Let that bitch runneth over
Let my desires and ambitions overflow and flourish
