THE WAY THINGS GOING
Future Lyrics

The way things goin', nigga, might not see the backend
With the current state of affairs, I may not be able to see the rewards in the future.

Way things goin', gotta ride 'round with an FN
Due to the ongoing situation, I need protection to move around safely.

Way things goin', only family matters
In these tough times, the only people I can rely on are my family.

Way things goin', made my whole crowd scatter
The present condition is so bad that even my crew has dispersed.

Way things goin', get the money off top
In the dire situation, I need to collect my due from the start.

Way things goin', niggas made it off the block
Despite the unfavorable conditions, some have still made it big from the streets.

Way things goin', gotta pull up in that drop
I need to arrive in style even though the circumstances are grim.

The way things goin', oh
The current scenario is appalling, and it's stressing me out.

Tom Ford, suit and dress, them handin' out my business
Wearing expensive designer clothes because of the success of my ventures.

Raised in the trenches, been in the trap since a infant
Having grown up in difficult, deprived circumstances, I have been engaged in illicit activities since I was a baby.

Sold all my dope, now, my trap 'bout to finish
Having sold all my illegal substances, my illegal business is coming to a close.

Pack came in the mail, I run through 'em in a minute
Quickly using the drugs upon receiving them in the mail.

Money went to my brain, ice done got in my skin
Having made a lot of money has clouded my judgment and caused me to become obsessed with showing off my wealth.

Down as shit, you trappin' shit, I'm treatin' you like my twin
Being close as brothers with someone who is also involved in selling drugs.

'Rari with the wing on it, I spent like seven tens
Purchased an expensive sports car with unique features that cost me around $700,000.

Shawty and them goin' seven-thirty every time they go spin
The girl and her companions are partying aggressively whenever they go out.

I wouldn't mislead you, too caught up in my winds (I wouldn't mislead you)
I am not lying to you, but I am too distracted by my own pursuits to help you right now.

Bullet-proof Trackhawk, had to geek out the engine
Customizing my bulletproof car to make it more powerful.

Got it out the concrete, flyin' to other countries
Having achieved success through hardship and now traveling to foreign locations.

Bad bitch, poppin' outside, Gucci onesie
An attractive woman wearing a Gucci onesie, looking confident and fabulous.

Mad rich, got it out the mud, it was ugly
Earning great wealth through difficult, unsavory means.

Average, I can't go back to havin' nothin' (I can't go back)
Having been poor in the past, I cannot imagine living with nothing again.

Savage, product of my environment, I'm hustlin'
Growing up in harsh conditions that shaped me into a person who is always trying to make money.

Karats, clarity gon' glisten when it's dirty
My diamonds are high quality and are still dazzling even when not in perfect condition.

Karats, they glisten when they dirty, keep a thirty
Keeping a gun (thirty) to protect oneself and maintain their status despite having enemies.

Bulletproof Suburban, avoidin' all the worries
Driving a bulletproof car to protect oneself from any danger.

The way I ball, I know for sure they'll retire my jersey
Being highly confident in my ability to play basketball and knowing that my jersey will be retired in honor after I stop playing.

Breakin' the laws, wake up early mornin', go serve it
Engaging in illegal activities, waking up early in the morning, and delivering illegal substances or products.

Take the time buildin' my crib like a pyramid (that's my crib)
Investing time, money, and energy into building a lavish home that resembles a pyramid.

Reminiscin' where I come from, gettin' money a religion
Reflecting on my impoverished past and realizing that earning money has become my sole focus and motivation.

You got smoke in the air, don't let it cloud your vision
When there is danger or conflict in the air, don't let it cloud your judgment and lose sight of what's important.

Some of my partners not here, I really do miss you
Thinking of friends who have passed away and expressing genuine sadness about their absence.

Take the money and ball it up, and use it for tissues
Having so much money that it can be used as disposable tissue without any regard for its value.

Sendin' gun powder out, resolvin' these issues
Using weapons and intimidation to deal with and resolve conflicts or disputes.

And the way things goin' is very malicious
The current situation is malevolent and filled with ill intent.

It's another bloody summer inside of my city
Referring to the violence and danger that is prevalent during the summer months in his city.

Uh-uh, it's another bloody summer inside of my city
Repeating the previous line to emphasize the severity of violence and crime during this time of year.

Uh-uh, the way things goin' (the way things goin')
Repeating the chorus to emphasize the dire situation and dangerous circumstances that are happening around him.
