After releasing a series of moderately successful mixtapes between 2010 and 2011, Future signed a major label deal with Epic Records and fellow American rapper Rocko's A1 Recordings, which helped launch his own label imprint Freebandz. Future subsequently began working on his debut studio album "Pluto," and in April 2012 released the album to positive reviews. The album spawned five singles, all of which charted on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was later re-released in November, as "Pluto 3D." His second studio album "Honest," was released on April 22, 2014, and is also performing with his group Freeband Gang. He released his highly anticipated third studio album, "DS2," on July 16, 2015. The Atlanta rapper also released several mixtapes during 2015, "Beast Mode" in January, "56 Nights" in March, and "What a Time to Be Alive (with Drake)" in September. Future released "Purple Reign" in January 2016. The 13-track mixtape was executive produced by Metro Boomin and DJ Esco, with additional production from Southside, Zaytoven, and more.
Drug Money
Future Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drug money it's gonna buy you what you want
Drug money it's gonna buy you what you want
Drug money it's gonna buy you what you want
Fish scale, I'll buy you what you want
Thousand bill', I'll buy you what you want
A hundred square, I'll buy you what you want
Shoot it through the air, and buy you what you want
I got plug money, gotta ship it back in Mexico
Slot money make you shoot yourself like Plexico
Blood money, you fuck 'round, be the next to go
Oil money, I got tanks of gas like Texaco
Drug money, bitch, I'm running out of head spot
Shoe money, I had a hundred in a Nike box
Ho money, I took my bitch to ball in harbor
Watch money, what's a forty for a starter
In Mexico they're growing weed in the back yard
In Mexico get a pound, a couple one hundred, dawg
Exotic money, now I be riding in exotic cars
Switch my flow up just like future, now I got exotic bars
Drug money it's gonna buy you what you want
Drug money it's gonna buy you what you want
Drug money it's gonna buy you what you want
Drug money it's gonna buy you what you want
Fish scale, I'll buy you what you want
Thousand bill', I'll buy you what you want
A hundred square, I'll buy you what you want
Shoot it through the air, and buy you what you want
I got brick money, nine hundred for an ounce of yay
Streets dry, so nine hundred what they got to pay
Got a fifty in, got another fifty on the way
In magic city let the city know it's time to play
White whip, stainless steel, bitch, 300K
I ain't gotta rap, trap jumping I can stop today
Columbia, Colombians, I got 'em on the way
Lawyer paid more money if I get popped today
In Mexico my girl plugged when I was 16
In Mexico I was getting 'em for the 16
That's a lot of money, now I'm riding in exotic cars
Switched my flow up, changed my future, now I got exotic cars
Drug money it's gonna buy you what you want
Drug money it's gonna buy you what you want
Drug money it's gonna buy you what you want
Drug money it's gonna buy you what you want
Fish scale, I'll buy you what you want
Thousand bill', I'll buy you what you want
A hundred square, I'll buy you what you want
Shoot it through the air, and buy you what you want
