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.
Fo Real
Future Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[Hook: Future]
It’s over 25 girls in my section
Lets make a movie tonight, you won’t regret it
Fo real, Fo real
You know the money bring the cars, the cars bring the hoes
Rockstar life, thats how it goes
[Bridge: Future]
We got that drink, hell yeah we got that drink
They wanna pop champagne, yeah they wanna drink
Fo real, Fo real
[Verse 1: Future]
They wish they were rockstars like us
I bet you wishing they could get fly like us
The same gang of niggas in here with money on us
We got them mollies in here, they mix that Xan and that Tuss
Ain’t go to church this Sunday but I had church
I paid my tithes with them strippers, bought the bitch a purse
I’m on a whole other planet, never on the Earth
I brought my whole hood with me and we goin’ berserk
[Bridge: Future]
[Hook: Future]
[Verse 2: Drake]
Even though I used to act, man, this shit is not a act, nigga
I have never lied on a track, only facts, nigga
A lot of people willin’ to back that, and if you backtrack
I spoke about this comin’ to fruition in my raps, nigga
Yeah; then it happened, nigga, wassup, nigga?
You just jealous, you just bitter, shut the fuck up
This that I been on a roll shit, I’m back on my old shit
416, we know your bitch, that Free Band OVO shit, fo’ real.
[Bridge: Future]
[Hook: Future]
[Verse 3: Future]
I be splurgin’, Christian Dior, I got Chanel on order
I met that girl and had to spoil her ‘cause that girl’s so loyal
I met her when she was a dime and turned into a quarter
We drank champagne just like it’s water, drink that liquor like water
Nigga told me: ho bitch – that’s when I went hard
I bought some guns, I bought some ice and bought some more lawyers
You try and take what I done sacrificed and worked hard for
I’m in that mode, I’m in that zone like when a nigga raw
I’m celebratin’ every day, goddamn it I could be starvin’
Let’s have a toast to all my niggas runnin’ up in apartments
We had a good year this year, we made a lot of fortunes
And we very fortunate…
[Bridge: Future]
In the song "Fo Real," featuring Drake, Future boasts about his lavish rockstar lifestyle, surrounded by women and alcohol. He starts off by bragging about the number of girls in his section, suggesting that they should make a movie together. He emphasizes his luxurious lifestyle through his lyrics, mentioning how money attracts beautiful cars and women. He continues with his theme, highlighting his possession of drugs and partying at a level above others. He tries to establish that they are not pretending, and everything they rap about is a fact. Drake adds his own verse with similar energy, suggesting that people are jealous and talking negative, but they should shut up because he is back on his old stuff. Future concludes the song with his values and how he celebrates his success and those around him.
One interesting fact about "Fo Real" is that this song was produced by Mike WiLL Made-It, who is an American record producer, rapper, and songwriter. Additionally, this song appears on Future's mixtape "Narco Trafficante" and could later be found on his Pluto album. Another notable fact is that both of the artists, Future and Drake, collaborated multiple times after "Fo Real." "Fo Real" performed well on different music charts and received attention from hip-hop enthusiasts worldwide. Future and Drake have created some of the most successful collaborations, but "Fo Real" remained overshadowed by their other work. The flow and lyrics are typical of Future's creative directions, especially during that period.
