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.
Run Up
Future Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Two cups nigga got the red in me
The Ku Klux Klan and the streets with me
Some real designers love to sleep with me
Some real designers love to sleep with me
The molly crumbs got me like a zombie
Her waist line small and that booty look dummy
She just did some alcohol and she about to go dummy
I done kept the water all night, fuck it keep it running
Gotta call a no fly treaty, 'cause of my necklace
Get a lotta money put your main bitch on the sideline
Main bitch on the sideline
Get a lotta money put your main bitch on the sideline
I just get them bands, get them Xans, do a shoutout
I just get them bands and I like to give them a shoutout
I just get them Xans and the light becomes a shadow
I just fucked a fan and she asked me for a shoutout
Nigga talking crazy tryna get the club shot up
I just had some coke inside the freezer tryna come up
Everything seems different when you spark a blunt up
Do it gang territory, dare you try to run up
Dare you try to run up, I dare you try to run up
I dare you try to run up
I just bring my bands up on a weekday
Gotta keep the hammer on the seat baby
I gotta switch my gun up every week baby
'Til I see a billion dollars ain't complete baby
See a trillion dollars ain't complete baby
(See a trillion dollars ain't complete baby)
Dare you try to run up, boy I dare you try to run up
I, I dare you try to run up
Christian L's on me this is not a fairy tale
A couple bales on me I just got it out the mail
Dom Perignon let the champagne spill
We just get the funds then hit you with the steel
Upper echelon we will never miss a meal
You gotta use Waze just to get through the crib
Shawty fell in love with the codeine and pills
Shawty whip around and say it hit a half a mill
Main bitch on the sideline
Get a lotta money put your main bitch on the sideline
I just get them bands, get them Xans, do a shoutout
I just get them bands, get them Xans, do a shoutout
I just get them Xans and the light becomes a shadow
I just fucked a fan and she asked me for a shoutout
Nigga talking crazy tryna get the club shot up
I just had some coke inside the freezer tryna come up
Everything seems different when you spark a blunt up
Do it gang territory, dare you try to run up
Dare you try to run up, I dare you try to run up
I, I dare you try to run up
I just bring my bands up on a weekday
Gotta keep the hammer on the seat
I gotta switch my gun up every week baby
'Til I see a billion dollars ain't complete baby
See a trillion dollars ain't complete baby
(See a trillion dollars ain't complete baby)
Dare you try to run up, boy I dare you try to run up
I, I dare you try to run up
Off white leather gotta pop collars
Shawty bust it up, want top dollar
Caught a brown bad, bought her Margiela
I did the whole dance and said "you exceptional"
Main bitch on the sideline
Get a lotta money put your main bitch on the sideline
I just get them bands, get them xans, do a shoutout
I just get them bands and
the light becomes a shadow

@okaydeemuzik9188
Exactly. That's why wen it came out I didbt like it. Like we already had " monster, 56 nights, Ds2, what a time to be Alive. Then 2016 he put out Purple reign... at this point errything just sounded the same. But the next one he put out next would be a smash. EVOL came right after this. EVOL was a better tape IMO vs Purple reign. Purple reign sounded like ds2 throwaway. EVOL SOUDED LOKE A COMPLETE TAPE.
