The lyrics of French Montana's song "FTMU" depict a lavish and opulent lifestyle where money is continuously being spent without apparent concern for its preservation. The opening line, "Fuckin' the money up," suggests a careless attitude towards finances, indicating that the singer is not being responsible with their wealth. This can be seen as a representation of living extravagantly and indulging in material pleasures without considering the consequences.
The lyrics also convey a sense of dissatisfaction with the current state of wealth, with the line "Feel like I ain't done enough" suggesting that the singer doesn't feel fulfilled despite their excessive spending. This could imply a constant pursuit of more money and success, never finding satisfaction in their current level of affluence. It reflects the idea that, no matter the amount of wealth accumulated, there is always a desire for more.
When French Montana says, "Come get your bitch back, I sent her to DR for tummy tuck," he is boasting about his ability to afford plastic surgery for his romantic partner. "DR" refers to the Dominican Republic, a popular destination for cosmetic surgery due to its lower costs. This line signifies the character's willingness to spend excessive amounts of money on luxuries and indulge in a materialistic lifestyle.
The rest of the song mainly consists of braggadocio and boastfulness. French Montana emphasizes his self-perceived dominance and superiority by referencing wealth, luxury cars, and his ability to have a strong presence in the rap industry. The repetitive chorus reinforces the careless attitude towards money and the focus on materialistic pleasures.
Overall, the lyrics of "FTMU" paint a picture of a person who indulges in a lavish lifestyle, spending money without considering the consequences and constantly striving for even more wealth. It showcases the hedonistic tendencies and materialistic values prevalent in some aspects of hip-hop culture.
