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.
You Deserve It
Future Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Man I pull up on my partner Beano
You know what I'm sayin'? Real boss nigga
He like, "Future, you deserve that shit, nigga"
You deserve it
You deserve it
You deserve it, Future
You deserve it
You deserve it
You deserve it, Future
You deserve it
I done paid so many dues
I never lose my cool
Just the other day, my lil' cousin call me from school and said
You deserve it
You deserve it
You deserve it, Future
You deserve it (turn up)
Ain't asked for this,
I worked for this, I was in the dungeon, just purchasin'
Catch the jiggers, not paying attention
No harm, nigga, my slang tremendous
I'm better than you and I know it
I will show it
You ain't flowin' how I'm flowin'
That's why I'm goin'
Places you ain't goin'
And I keep goin' and goin'
Until I'm growin'
To a mogul, my come-up was explosive
I picked that up from Rico
My cousin had my back from day one, mano y mano
I believe in keepin' it one thousand and stayin' humble
New route I chose to take through the jungle
Keep the same mentality when I was standin' on the corner
Hit the studio and split that crack and have you on it (my folks done told me)
You deserve it
You deserve it
You deserve it, Future
You deserve it
You deserve it
You deserve it
You deserve it, Future
You deserve it
I done paid so many dues
I never lose my cool
Just the other day, my lil' cousin call me from school and said
You deserve it
You deserve it
You deserve it, Future
You deserve it (turn up)
I go so fuckin' hard, 'til my heart skip a beat
I always been expensive, ain't nothin' about me cheap
I'm the realest nigga you have seen
Since Michael Jackson, Billie Jean
All this pain, I can't even rap
Sometimes I feel I wanna sing
My passion (my passion)
It goes without me sayin'
The fruits of my labor, I laid down a solid foundation
You water a seed too long and it will grow
You stay down and grind for long and it's gon' show
It brings water to my eyes just to hear me on the radio
You wouldn't understand the route I had to take to get here so
I worked for this (I worked for this)
It didn't come easy (it didn't come easy)
Most people hit me up and say these rappers cheesy, 'cause
You deserve it
You deserve it
You deserve it, Future
You deserve it
You deserve it
You deserve it
You deserve it, Future
You deserve it
I done paid so many dues
I never lose my cool
Just the other day, my lil' cousin call me from school and said
You deserve it
You deserve it
You deserve it, Future
You deserve it (turn up)

Music is my biggest passion

You deserve it
I'm reminding you that you earned your current success

Future is the kind of success story that encourages me as a underground artist with a small following. Seeing how heβs developed his skills and slowly blown up after seizing each and every opportunity heβs been giving has been inspirational! Mans has quickly become a mainstay in the industry and for good reason. Dude is too nice! I know if I put in the work, I can reach a larger audience some day too, but for now, Iβm happy being a supporter. My turn will come too. Salute to Futureπ₯
