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.
Rotation
Future Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lil' Mexico, what's poppin'?
The Wizrd, top shotta
I had to smash lil' shawty with my jeans on
And I had my pistol in my pocket
Can't trust none of these bitches, gotta be cautious
Can't trust none of these bitches, gotta be cautious
I just put a famous bitch in rotation
I just put that famous bitch in rotation
I just put lil' shawty on probation
Paranoid, pull in the garage, one in the head
I'm on hydroponic nigga, full of bars and that red
I'm in camouflage and I fell in love with this bread
I don't ordinary no type of nigga, I don't beg (I don't beg bitch)
I bet I keep that tool on me everywhere
Spent a couple mill on my bitch last year
I just put a new whip on the E-way
Then I ran my bands back up like a relay
Certified junkie
I just pop the tag on the Benz, it was Monday
I just keep that bag on me now, at least a hunnid
I be on them Xans and that Molly, I ain't frontin'
I had to smash lil' shawty with my jeans on
And I had my pistol in my pocket
Can't trust none of these bitches, gotta be cautious
Can't trust none of these bitches, gotta be cautious
I bought all the sodas at the gas station
I just put a famous bitch in rotation
I just put that famous bitch in rotation
I just put lil' shawty on probation
Yeah, I fell asleep with that paper
Bro, I can't tell you 'bout no capers
I just took the middle man off
I go Corleone 'bout the check
I was getting the dome with a Tech
Bitch, you ain't gon' get no extra points pulling no faggot move
I just called my contractor, told him "build another pool"
One sittin' in the back, one by the living room
I keep all my jewelry at the bank now
Alexander McQueen's therapeutic
Bitch, I'm getting the same money as Cam Newton
Ask me how it feel to be a millionaire
I had to smash lil' shawty with my jeans on
And I had my pistol in my pocket
Can't trust none of these bitches, gotta be cautious
Can't trust none of these bitches, gotta be cautious
I bought all the sodas at the gas station
I just put a famous bitch in rotation
I just put that famous bitch in rotation
I just put lil' shawty on probation
