Blow a Bag
Future Lyrics

Yeah
The song is starting.

I woke up feeling like fucking up some paper
I woke up feeling motivated to make a lot of money.

Freebandz, Freebandz
A reference to Future's record label.

I blow a bag today, I don't do nothin' fugazi
I'm spending a lot of money today, and I'm not doing anything fake or fraudulent.

I blow the bag today, I walk in the mall and go crazy
I'm spending a lot of money today, and I'm splurging on shopping in the mall.

I blow a bag today, hop out the whip on 'em, babe
I'm spending a lot of money today, and when I arrive somewhere, I want everyone to notice me.

I blow a bag today, I blow a bag today
I'm spending a lot of money today and repeating it emphasizes how much money I'm spending.

Shorty gon' fuck me so crazy
My significant other is going to be very sexually excited and pleased with me because of how much money I'm spending.

I had the bag today, I blow the bag today
I had a lot of money today, and I spent it all.

I had to grab the Wraith, I had to grab the Wraith
I had to get a Rolls-Royce Wraith, which is an expensive car that I can afford because of how much money I have.

I had to change the safe, I had to change my bitch
I had to get a new, more secure safe for my money, and I also decided to get a new girlfriend.

Money'll change a nigga, the fame'll change a bitch
Having a lot of money can change a man, and being famous can change a woman.

I know I came from poverty, I got my name from poverty
I know that I came from a place of having nothing, and my stage name is a reference to that difficult past.

If my granddad was livin', I know he'd be proud of me
I believe that if my grandfather were still alive, he would be happy for me and the success I've achieved.

If Snupe was living, I know he'd be proud of me
I believe that if my friend Snupe were still alive, he would be proud of my success.

If Lonzo was livin', he never would've doubted me
If Lonzo, who I assume to be a doubter, were still alive, he would see how successful I am and regret not having faith in me.

I live with these diamonds, just check out my clarity
I have a lot of expensive diamond jewelry, and it's very clear that they're high quality.

Gotta just check out these clarity
I'm emphasizing that the diamonds in my jewelry are very clear and high quality.

I get so fly like a parachute
I dress very nicely and stylishly.

I pull up right now and embarrass you
If I were to show up where you are right now, I'd make you feel embarrassed about your appearance or possessions because I have so much money and look so nice.

I sold the crack on my avenue
I used to sell crack cocaine on my street to make money.

Only the strong survive
The world is a tough place, and only the strongest people are able to succeed.

I'm just enjoying my life
I'm living my life the way I want to, and I'm happy with it.

I ran it up with the same niggas
I made a lot of money with the same group of friends.

Get that money and stay with the same niggas
When you make a lot of money, it's important to stay loyal to your friends and not let the money change your relationships.

They don't look at you like you the same nigga
When you have a lot of money, people might start to treat you differently, even if you're the same person you've always been.

I just hope I can remain humble
I don't want to let my success and money change who I am as a person, and I want to stay humble.

Hop out a Ghost in the jungle, I did it
I got out of a Rolls-Royce Ghost in an area that's difficult or dangerous to navigate, and I'm proud of it.

Sell all that dope in apartments, I did it
I used to sell drugs in apartment buildings to make money, and I succeeded at it.

I'm 'bout to cut off some niggas I know that ain't with me
I'm going to stop associating with some people who I know aren't really my friends.

Runnin' with niggas that wanna see niggas
I'm spending time with friends who want to see me succeed and do well.

That get it and niggas who strive
I'm spending time with friends who are working hard to achieve their goals and make money.

I know real niggas is hard to come across, yeah
It's difficult to find real friends who will support you and have your back.

I know either way it goes, Sonny gon' be there
My friend Sonny will always support me, no matter what happens.

I know either way it goes, bro bro gon' be there (Young Metro!)
Another friend of mine, who I call 'bro bro,' will always be there for me, and this line also references Young Metro, who produced the song.

Even when a nigga was broke, Scooter was always there
Even when I was poor and struggling to make money, my friend Scooter was always there for me.

I be pourin' up this 4, they thought we wouldn't be here
I'm drinking codeine and soda (often called 'lean' or 'sizzurp') and feeling good because some people didn't think I would make it this far in my career.

I told you, come a time when we had to persevere
I knew that there would be times when we'd have to push through difficult situations in order to succeed.

I knew there'd come a time when we'd all be here
I always believed that I and my friends would be successful and reach a point of safety and comfort following our difficult childhoods.

It's red bottoms when you walk to me
When you approach me, you'll see that I'm wearing Christian Louboutin shoes that have distinctive red soles.

Come here and talk to me
I want to speak to you, come closer.

You gon' make me throw the racks on you, baby, ay
You're making me so attracted to you that I'm willing to spend a lot of money on you.
