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.
My Collection
Future Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If we never speak again, I'm just glad I got to tell you truth
Ain't playin', count em'
You wanna come to paradise?
Matter of fact, you wanna come to Pluto?
Haha
She told me she was an angel
She got a few athletes on speed dial
I'm tryna get the case dismissed before I see trial
And these codeine handles ain't got nothin' to do with my lil' child
No this codeine ain't got nothin' to do with my lil' child
I used to sell dope at my grandma's house, as a rude child
All these cameras on, fuckin' with my mood, wild
And these chains clinkin' back and forth, they too loud
They know damn well this wasn't promised
I know damn well this must be problem
Left every pair of Margielas at the condo
Technically I never packed up and leave
Left eighty racks in the dresser, you can keep
And I got this bad ting at disposal
I cooked it up and then I went global
My baby mama push a Range Rover
Had to make sure I got it fully loaded
Can't be the one and then you get exposed
If you the one, then God will let me know
But at the same time, I like to vibe with one
I'm paranoid, I gotta ride with one
And I had to 'splain to her last night
Had to send this one freak on the last flight
Had to send this one freak on the last flight
Won't get a response from me, ain't no confessions
Before I tell a lie, won't tell you nothin'
Any time I got you, girl you my possession
Even if I hit you once, you part of my collection
Even if I hit you once, you part of my collection
Even if I hit you once, you part of my collection
Standin' on black socks, meet me at the yacht dock
Icin' out the clock, watch, bitches on my cock
Yeah, maybe it's the drop, yeah
We get in our feelings, yeah
I don't know how you would feel about me if I ain't have millions, yeah
I'm conversin' with you, I hope you hear me, yeah
Keep my promise, take my love with you everywhere
And hell no it ain't about no braggin' rights
But even if it was, shit I got it
Pinstripes on a hardtop Bugatti
She told me she was an angel
She fucked two rappers and three singers
I'm a keep it genuine and tell the truth to you
I got this joint, she know what to do with me
And right now I don't know what to do with you
I don't wanna sound like I'm bein' rude with you
She caught a red eye, leavin' L.A
I shoulda gave her to the valet
And I had to tell her 'bout Miami
After she came with no panty
Won't get a response from me, ain't no confessions
Before I tell a lie, won't tell you nothin'
Any time I got you, girl you my possession
Even if I hit you once, you part of my collection
Even if I hit you once, you part of my collection
Even if I hit you once, you part of my collection
The lyrics of Future’s song “My Collection” tell the story of the complex relationships the rapper has with women. Throughout the song, he portrays himself as someone who is emotionally distant from the women he is involved with. He explains that he has been working tirelessly in the studio, and although he does not expect to speak with the women in his life again, he wants to make sure he tells them the truth.
He goes on to explain that one woman he was involved with slept with two rappers and three singers, and he is attempting to get her case dismissed before having to go to trial. He also speaks about his use of codeine and how it has nothing to do with his child. He reminisces about his past selling drugs at his grandma's house and how the cameras and noise from his chains are bothering him.
Future then reveals his current situation, saying that he has a lot of money and a beautiful woman who he intends to keep with him as his possession, even if he only hits her once. He goes back and forth between talking about his material possessions, like his Bugatti and expensive clothes, to the relationships he has with the women in his life, which he views as being no more than part of his “collection.”
Overall, “My Collection” speaks to the complexity of relationships, substance abuse, and materialism in the world of rap and hip-hop.
