Inside the Mattress
Future Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I pour up yellow tuss, I pour up yellow tuss
'Cause I gotta have it
(Yeah, Hendrix)
I pour up yellow tuss, I pour up yellow tuss
'Cause I gotta have it

Stacks hid inside the mattress
Racks hid inside the mattress
Packs hid inside the mattress
Ganks hid inside the mattress
Vert' dippin' through traffic
I'm gettin' better, I'm at practice
I'm workin' everyday, craftin'
I'm cool on her, I done had her
Bounce back with a millio'
Hit an island like Gilligan
Not just a regular civilian
I rap for the squad, I'm a champion
Remember we hit up the highway, we got us a stash spot
Remember as soon as we touch down, nigga cash out

I get on the stage and I rap 'til I pass out
Hit another city and another city, I'm just groovin'
I was tryna tell you I was losin'
I was gon' tell you I'm improvin'
I done caught a vibe, she was choosin'
Gotta keep my pride, I'm a general
Gotta keep it real with some criminals
Gotta keep my focus, I'm phenomenal
Once I cock and load I'm the money man
Got a hundred hoes, got a hundred Xans
We gon' party hard 'til the moon calls
She done fell in love with the mushrooms
And my college girls talkin' kung-fu
Put some cough syrup in a Mountain Dew
You would never see what I'm goin' through
Gotta keep my vibe, I'm a general
Gotta keep it real with some criminals
Gotta take my time with these bad bitches
I don't wine and dine with no bad bitches
Send a flight for a bad bitch
Over night for a bad bitch
Cartier on a bad bitch
Cartier on a bad bitch

Stacks hid inside the mattress
Racks hid inside the mattress
Packs hid inside the mattress
Ganks hid inside the mattress
Vert' dippin' through traffic
I'm gettin' better, I'm at practice
I'm workin' everyday, craftin'
I'm cool on her, I done had her
Bounce back with a millio'
Hit an island like Gilligan
Not just a regular civilian
I rap for the squad, I'm a champion
Remember we hit up the highway, we got us a stash spot
Remember as soon as we touch down, nigga cash out

I never told the world about you
I never told the homies 'bout you, not once
I never had no bitter towards you
I never had no drama for you, not once
I never want to go to none of these award shows
That's not me
Only the time will tell the day I prevail and get me a Grammy
Mexico, kept it real from the start
If I did it for you it came from the heart
Came from the trenches and turned into art
I wake up and do it way better tomorrow
I wake up and cook up a kilo
Take a flight on a jet out to Rio
It's mafia all day
We come out the hallways
Murder in broad day, murder in broad day
Sit in the passenger side with the tool on my lap
Got lawyers and actresses and models pursuin' me now
Our foundation built on loyalty, you can't ruin me now

Stacks hid inside the mattress
Racks hid inside the mattress
Packs hid inside the mattress
Ganks hid inside the mattress
Vert' dippin' through traffic
I'm gettin' better, I'm at practice
I'm workin' everyday, craftin'
I'm cool on her, I done had her
Bounce back with a millio'
Hit an island like Gilligan
Not just a regular civilian
I rap for the squad, I'm a champion
Remember we hit up the highway, we got us a stash spot
Remember as soon as we touch down, nigga cash out

Goodbye
I pour up yellow tuss, I pour up yellow tuss
'Cause I gotta have it




I pour up yellow tuss, I pour up yellow tuss
'Cause I gotta have it

I drink yellow cough syrup mixed with soda, not only because I'm addicted to it but also because it gives me a certain high that I crave.

I have hidden money, drugs, and guns inside my mattress as a way to keep them safe and out of sight. I keep working hard and practicing my craft every day to improve my skills. I am not interested in pursuing a particular woman anymore because I have already been with her. I have made a lot of money and will continue to bounce back from any setbacks. I rap for my crew and consider myself a champion. We have a stash spot where we keep our valuable belongings that we can quickly get access to and cash out when we need to.

I perform on stage until I can't anymore and then travel to other cities to perform there. I was struggling and not doing well, but now I am getting better and feeling good. A girl was interested in me, but I have to maintain my integrity as a leader and associate with some shady people while still being focused on making money. I have many women and drugs in my life and we party hard until the early morning. Some women love using psychedelic mushrooms, and my college girls are tough like martial artists. Sometimes I mix cough syrup with soda for an even more intoxicating experience. No one knows the struggles I go through, but I keep my cool because I am a leader. I keep it real with my criminals and take my time with the women I choose to spend time with. I don't waste time or money trying to impress anyone because I already have money and status to offer.


I never told the world about you I never told the homies 'bout you, not once I never had no bitter towards you I never had no drama for you, not once I never want to go to none of these award shows That's not me Only the time will tell the day I prevail and get me a Grammy Mexico, kept it real from the start If I did it for you it came from the heart Came from the trenches and turned into art I wake up and do it way better tomorrow I wake up and cook up a kilo Take a flight on a jet out to Rio It's mafia all day We come out the hallways Murder in broad day, murder in broad day Sit in the passenger side with the tool on my lap Got lawyers and actresses and models pursuin' me now Our foundation built on loyalty, you can't ruin me now
I have kept quiet about a person I had a relationship with in the past, never talking about them to friends or being angry about how things ended. I don't care about attending award shows or getting recognition in that way. Eventually, I will get the recognition I deserve when I win a Grammy. I have always been true to myself and where I come from, and the art I create reflects that. I work hard every day to improve my skills and create more. I fly to different places to conduct my business, and I am loyal to my crew who are also involved in illegal activities. I keep a gun on me at all times, and now I have lawyers, actresses, and models pursuing me, but my true foundation is based on loyalty.


Goodbye I pour up yellow tuss, I pour up yellow tuss 'Cause I gotta have it I pour up yellow tuss, I pour up yellow tuss 'Cause I gotta have it
The song ends with a reference to my addiction to yellow cough syrup mixed with soda as a way to cope with my problems and satisfy my cravings.

[Intro]
I pour out yellow tuss, I pour out yellow tuss
Cause I gotta have it
Yeah, Hendrix
I pour out yellow tuss, I pour out yellow tuss
Cause I gotta have it

[Chorus]
Stacks hid inside the mattress
Racks hid inside the mattress
Packs hid inside the mattress
Ganks hid inside the mattress

Hit an island like Gilligan
Not just a regular civilian
I ride for the squad, I'm a champion
Remember we hit up the highway, we got us a stash spot
Remember as soon as we touch down, nigga cash out


[Verse 1]
I get on the stage and I rap 'til I pass out

Gotta keep my pride, I'm a general
Gotta keep it real with some criminals
Gotta keep my focus, I'm phenomenal

[Verse 2]
I never told the world about you

I never had no bitter towards you
I never had no drama for you, not once

That's not me
Only the time will tell the day I prevail and get me a Grammy
Lil Mexico, kept it real from the start
If I did it for you it came from the heart
Came from the trenches and turned into art
