Future
Drake/Future Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some words you're not supposed to say
This early on
When does it shift
Now that the season's changed
And all the winter winds have come and gone
Before you would've sent me running
But now it's clear what we're becoming
Oh, the future that I see with you
We now make plans
Months out in advance
And I don't see anything wrong
With holding hands
And saying we won't let go
For oh so long
We've seen each other bruised and shattered
And darling from what I have gathered
I never want to be that way again
'Cuz you're not just my lover, but my friend
Oh, can I say I'll never let you go
Before I would've sent you running
But now you see what we're becoming
And darling if my dreams come true
I will never give up loving you
In the first verse of the song "Future" by Drake and Future, the singer begins by boasting about his success in illicit activities, implying that he has been doing it for a long time, represented by his "wound stripes." The singer expresses his desire to be as rich and powerful as the notorious drug kingpin Big Meach. He then goes on to describe his journey into the world of crime, starting with connections and eventually working his way up. He emphasizes the importance of money and warns that anything that does not involve significant financial gain is not worth his attention. The singer then beseeches the messiah to provide him with wealth and success, promising to give his all to achieve his goals.
In the second verse, the singer paints a vivid picture of his lavish lifestyle, including his love for lean (a drug), his penchant for popping wheelies on a motorcycle (a banshee), and his willingness to throw money even if it is not necessary. He boasts about his ability to turn a profit, as indicated by his comparison of his earnings to white cocaine from Marilyn Manson. The singer revels in his success, with his street credibility confirmed by the fact that people are chanting his name. He also turns his attention to his romantic conquests, describing himself as a womanizer that has a secretary as a mainstay girlfriend. He then shifts back to his criminal alter-ego, warning his enemies that he is about to come for them and will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
