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.

Love a tool only 'til I swap it out
We got papers, flip my stones, it ain't no clouds
Snatch a brand new Range Rover with the captain seats
And I keep a MAC on me like I'm Master P
Then I flip, flip, flip, flip, game over (game over)
Captain seats in the Maybach, in the Range Rover
Then I flip, flip, flip, flip, game over (game over)
2017 with the captains (flip)
The price too high, you must be cappin' (flip)
All these Franklins got me trappin' (flip, flip)
Sippin' on Screw, I'm very active (flip, flip)
A half a milli, got matted
Your main bitch got batted
Got a clear view, no static
That's a VVS on my fabrics
Chanel drapes one of one
I pay the rates to the Lord
Rich nigga, I'm a boss
Had the mail with me, I'm a star
Love a tool only 'til I swap it out
We got papers, flip my stones, it ain't no clouds
Snatch a brand new Range Rover with the captain seats
And I keep a MAC on me like I'm Master P
Captain seats in my Maybach, in my Range Rover
Then I flip, flip, flip, flip, game over (game over)
Captain seats in the Maybach, in the Range Rover
Then I flip, flip, flip, flip, game over (game over)
I'm gone past the moon, what you tellin' me?
That nigga's a goon, what you tellin' me?
The bitch in the room, what you tellin' me?
I'm hotter than the sun, what you tellin' me?
These niggas my sons, what you tellin' me?
They eat up my crumbs, what you tellin' me?
Your brother a bum, what you tellin' me?
Straight out the slums, what you tellin' me?
I came out the mud, I'm stashin' the drugs
Gotta bring out the tub of Ace
I was never in love with the Wraith
Got a new Panamera on the way
Went to Pluto, beyond with my cape
Can't run when the drum in your face
I'm the mothafuckin' don, why you hatin'?
Love a tool only 'til I swap it out
We got papers, flip my stones, it ain't no clouds
Snatch a brand new Range Rover with the captain seats
And I keep a MAC on me like I'm Master P
Captain seats in my Maybach, in my Range Rover
Then I flip, flip, flip, flip, game over (game over)
Captain seats in the Maybach, in the Range Rover
Then I flip, flip, flip, flip, game over (game over)

In the song "Flip" by Future, the lyrics touch upon various themes including wealth, success, and street credibility. The opening lines, "If you gang, gang, gang, that's what's up with me / Freebandz / Fire Marshall," suggest Future's association with a particular group or lifestyle.
The lyrics continue with Future mentioning his affinity for material possessions. He mentions "flipping" his stones, which likely refers to selling drugs or making financial gains. The mention of a Range Rover with captain seats signifies his luxury and success. Referencing Master P, a successful rapper and entrepreneur, suggests that Future is also heavily involved in business and knows how to protect himself, as represented by keeping a MAC weapon.
In the following verse, Future mentions the year 2017 and suggests that the price is high, indicating that he is involved in lucrative deals or transactions. The mention of "Franklins" also implies the accumulation of wealth. He also notes that he is active and enjoying the high life while sipping on Screw (a purple drank cocktail). The references to a "half a milli" and women indicate Future's lavish lifestyle and his nonchalant attitude toward his own success.
The chorus repeats Future's desire for captain seats in his Maybach and Range Rover, highlighting his opulence and luxury. The word "flip" is repeated in the chorus and can be interpreted as referring to various aspects of his life, such as his financial success, his ability to navigate different situations, or even his constant state of evolution as an artist.
In the final verse, Future declares his superiority over others, referring to them as his "sons" and expressing his dominance. He emphasizes his rise from humble beginnings and his ability to stash drugs. The mention of the Wraith, a high-end luxury car, and a new Panamera indicate Future's continued success and desire for even more wealth and status. Despite his achievements, he acknowledges the presence of haters and asserts his position as a respected figure in the game.
The final section of the lyrics seems to include an excerpt from a radio broadcast or conversation, highlighting the theme of capitalistic aspirations. It involves a caller who wishes to find a wealthy partner and discusses winning various prizes related to fame and luxury. This section adds a touch of humor and satire while further emphasizing the overarching theme of wealth and success portrayed throughout the song.
