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.
Lay Up
Future Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I fuck on that bitch and we lay up
I fuck on that bitch and we lay up
I passed her off like a lay up
I tripled my cups like an addict
She come through late night on them Xannies
Don't tell me you back in that action
Don't tell me you back in that action
I get that mouth on the regular
I get more lip than a cellular
I fuck that pussy on the regular
She take them Xans on the regular
I'm not so average, unregular
I don't do shit if it's regular
I jump out the whip, it ain't regular
I'm flippin' the script, it ain't regular
I'm not just a local pedestrian
I get that work from the Mexicans
I ride with my niggas like Mexicans
I sell them keys on the regular
I push start the car, it ain't regular
My watch and my chain ain't regular
I smash on your broad on the regular
She let me menage on the regular
I fuck on that bitch and we lay up
I fuck on that bitch and we lay up
I fuck on that bitch and we lay up
I passed her off like a lay up
I tripled my cups like an addict
She come through late night on them Xannies
Don't tell me you back in that action
Don't tell me you back in that action
I'm back on them Xannies
I'm back in that action, I'm back in that action
I'm back with that double cup, now I done tripled up
Bag is Chanel and her bag cost a bale
I spend that money on the regular
I blow them racks on the regular
I won't hit that blunt if it's regular
I got that mouth, it was regular
Smokin' on Kush like it's regular
Drivin' a whip like it's regular
200 A zip in this Actavis
I keep that Planet of the Ape on me
Add some more shine in the face, homie
Quadruple the clarity, yay, yay
I got that bitch on that dope dick
She said she cummin' like yeah, yeah
I fuck on that bitch and we lay up
I fuck on that bitch and we lay up
I fuck on that bitch and we lay up
I passed her off like a lay up
I tripled my cups like an addict
She come through late night on them Xannies
Don't tell me you back in that action
Don't tell me you back in that action
Don't tell me you back in that action
Don't tell me you back on them Xannies
Let's pop up some Vicodin
They said we were dead broke, nigga
Only God can judge us
Take a bar and I love it
On a bar and I love it
I want that money for sure, shawty
I go to work on a pink toe
She go to work at a Pink Pony
She came out the ceiling, no clothes on
I hit her hood with them clothes on me
A gram of that good have your nose runnin'
I fucked her so good, had her nose runnin'
It's cold in the hood like a nose runnin'
I put her flat on her back, yeah
I fuck on that bitch and we lay up
I fuck on that bitch and we lay up
I fuck on that bitch and we lay up
I passed her off like a lay up
I tripled my cups like an addict
She come through late night on them Xannies
Don't tell me you back in that action

The lyrics of Future's song "Lay Up" describe his lifestyle of excessive drug use, sexual activity, and materialistic possessions. The phrase "lay up" is a basketball term for an easy shot, which highlights Future's effortless sexual conquests. The repetitive use of "I fuck on that bitch and we lay up" emphasizes his promiscuity and disregard for emotional connections with women. The use of drugs, particularly Xanax, is also prevalent in the lyrics, with Future boasting about his ability to handle large amounts of cups and Xans. The lyrics also reveal Future's attachment to material possessions, with references to expensive brands such as Chanel and Actavis.
Despite the surface-level themes of drug use and sexual conquest, the lyrics also hint at the darker realities of Future's lifestyle. The line "Don't tell me you back in that action" suggests that he is aware of the dangers of drug addiction and may have experienced its consequences before. Additionally, the line "Only God can judge us" could be interpreted as a way for Future to justify his actions and a feeling of invincibility.
Overall, the lyrics of "Lay Up" showcase Future's stereotypical image as a rapper who glorifies drug use, promiscuity, and materialism. However, there are also subtle hints of the darker aspects of this lifestyle, highlighting the potential consequences of such behavior.
