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.

Future Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been sleepin' with demons, how they get there?
She invited him, over and he came in girl form
So pretty I fell for it, it felt like I known her
I pray to the angels, but the Devil is stronger
Wonderin' why I'm in Hell, still
Nobody's nice, nobody cares here
I tried to break free, she wouldn't let me
'Cause all my blessings she tellin' me, she the one who sent them
(808 Mafia)
(Ayy Southside, where you get all that drip?)
Made it out of they range, got to feel my rage, drug traffickin' made me
Ambition saved me, hold up on the pavement
Ain't goin' outside like Jose Canseco, I up my status
Had to 'crease me hunger to get me pesos
I was right with the Yayo, droppin' off a hundred elbows
With a fine bitch in stilettos, got stars in it, it's a shuttle
Gettin' nauseous, all the decimals, she give me sloppy on another level
Doin' CrossFit, I'm gettin' healthy, bitches moshpittin' at the devil
You live marvelous, you get a W
Keep a short stick and a duffle (short stick and a duffle)
Tryna flex, I show muscles, hi-definition, totin' cutters
I was presidential, more bullets, feel played 'bout it, get to trippin'
I'm with the Cartel every time I re-up
On the plane by the runway, that's how they greet us
Gettin' it grande from Sunday to Sunday
I knew I'd be the plug one day
This money like a drug, dope so pretty can't touch it without the gloves
Money machine clickin' give me a rush
I danced with the Devil so long, she pullin' me closer
Been sleepin' with demons, how they get there?
She invited him, over and he came in girl form
So pretty I fell for it, it felt like I known her
I pray to the angels, but the Devil is stronger
Wonderin' why I'm in Hell, still
Nobody's nice, nobody cares here
I tried to break free, she wouldn't let me
She say don't waste my time, thinkin' I'm goin' to Heaven
'Cause all my blessings she tellin' me, she the one who sent them
(Angel on my left, Devil on my right)
(It's hard for me to go, I've been fightin' for my life)
(Been put through a test, tryna do what's right)
(It's get harder and harder for me to find some peace at night)
I danced with the Devil so long (so long), she pullin' me closer (closer)
Been sleepin' with demons, how they get there?
She invited him over and he came in girl form
So pretty I fell for (fell for), it felt like I known her (known her)
I pray to the angels (angels), but the Devil is stronger
Wonderin' why I'm in Hell, still (Hell, still)
Nobody's nice, nobody cares here (cares here)
I tried to break free, she wouldn't let me
She say that I'm wastin' my time, thinkin' I'm goin' to Heaven
'Cause all my blessingsshe tellin' me, she the one who sent them (sinnin')
The lyrics to Future's "Voodoo" describe the struggles of trying to break free from the devil's grasp. Throughout the lyrics, the singer admits to dancing with the devil for a long time, and this connection is so strong that he canβt break free. They also describe how the devil has sent blessings his way, which is making the struggle even more difficult. The devil in the song is portrayed as a female, which adds a layer of complexity to the song. The singer describes her as "pretty," and it's clear that her beauty is part of whatβs keeping him trapped. He seeks help from the angels, yet he knows deep down that the devil is stronger, and he canβt escape her grasp.
The song also touches on Future's past experiences with drug trafficking, but how ambition ultimately saved him. He raps about his days of dropping off a hundred elbows of Yayo with a fine woman in stilettos. Although the money he made from drug trafficking is like a drug in itself, so pretty that he canβt touch it without gloves, he knows it's not worth it. He's aware that money canβt buy happiness or peace of mind. The song ends with the singer admitting that heβs been fighting for his life, but with the devil on his right and an angel on his left, he's having a hard time finding peace at night.
Line by Line Meaning

I tried to break free, she wouldn't let me
The artist has attempted to distance themselves from negative influences in their life, but has been unable to permanently escape their pull.

@JESUSCHRIST-ONLYWAYTOHEAVEN
JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. TO LOVE HIM OR TO LOVE SIN/THIS WORLD. CALL UPON JESUS & ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS! SURRENDER YOUR WILL & YOUR LIFE TO HIM & HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN! PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT SO IF YOU REJECT HIM YOU WILL BE SEPARATED FROM HIM & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE WITHOUT GOD OR PEOPLE... YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER!
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PERSON, I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON... ONLY GOD IS GOOD! WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!
MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/NO PRIEST/NO SAINT/NO ANCESTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, MARY DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO IDOLS OR FALSE gods DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO MUSICIAN OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO INFLUENCER OR YOUTUBE STAR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO SCIENTIST OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR ACTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS! STOP WORSHIPING THESE PEOPLE!
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY SOON WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END TIMES)! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!
Jesus answered, βI am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6
"But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33
βFor the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lordβ-Romans 6:23
